S Toal

Costello

B Walker

Johnston

T Walker

Gillam (when fit)

Emslie

Subs Silva, Burke, Greenwood, Cresswell (till another hooker comes in). 

Plus 6'5" Max Clarke, centre or 2nd row.

Might be a decent option for the bench with his utility value. He’s a bit of an unknown for us at the moment. Might nail down a position and keep it.

Played 1 game on loan at Donny last year. Big lad. Expected more tbh

[Rene_Artois]

If you can get him to his potential could be a very dangerous centre. I'd have him playing out wide.

Well tell me his better replacement ? A maverick yes, mad at times but could he unlock a defence from nothing ??? And who is out there to replace him. ? How many tries did he create when he underperformed  

Just my take on it bud ... too expensive for us as we have to cut our cloth accordingly and also with it being an unknown IMG restructure year in 25

Miloudi signed Super League 

[gilbert08]

Harvey Makin season loan from Wigan! 
 

great addition was impressed with him from what I seen of him last season when he was with us.

Hopefully he stays the season, although he can be recalled after a month according to Wigan's press release and as we seen last season they recalled all 3 loanees for no obvious reason near end of season

[2Cents]

On PAPER, we have quite the pack to choose from now. But it's what happens on the FIELD that counts.

[Raider83]

From what I saw last season, great signing. Looking forward to seeing him get stuck in

Very true, though Wigan seem to have signed an absolute plethora of forwards in the off season so would be very surprised if he’s required barring a major injury crisis! 
 

fantastic work from the BOD to get him back.

Wigan seem to have a habit of re-calling and then sending them to another club to get them in a different environment as well for some reason.

Looks a good signing for you guys!

Yep agreed, although I was extremely surprised when they called all 3 back last year even tho rothwell and eckersley were no where near the 1st team, left us on the bear bones, risk you take with loanees I guess

[RLDB]

Think Wigan re-called them all for the reserves to win their league. 

[Raider91]

Great pick up. Solid, durable and reliable. Capable of big minutes exactly what you need when your running a smaller squad 

[RSN]

Our pack is done. Just short of a decent 6 and a back up 9. If we had both of them our squad is much better than last year and thankfully going under the radar.

Agree we need a back up 9. I think that's the priority. 

[Raider91]

Mike Ogunwale signed up. Complete unknown, fingers crossed he'll prove to be a gem.

Squad numbers out today think we still need an interchange hooker. A lot resting on how walker goes at 6 as well. Squad is look very good though, pack is the best it's been for years!

Noticed there’s no number 21 yet, hopefully a hooker! Sam Dowsett would be good!

Think he’ll do well. Playing in the halves with one of his best mates he played plenty of junior rugby with will help

He played very well at the testimonial.

I’m led to believe this won’t be the case unfortunately.
