Sir Gregory ParsloeP:
Was hoping we could keep Lisone as he’s become really useful of the bench.
However, given the green light has been given for 10 overseas players for next year and we only have 5, assuming ECW leaves, I wonder if we may try to get Arthur’s son to play hooker as part of a plan to keep the coach and Ackers is not getting picked in the 17 and looks on the outer.
Not sure we need the other son as HB cover but maybe he could play for Bradford with Ackers in SL next year ?
We need a replacement for Lisone as well but Blease now has a bit more work to do/ possible scope to reposition the squad a bit further.
I’m off down the bookies to get £20 on man of steel for 2026. Blease signs Joe Westerman to play prop and he turns into Arthur Beetson but Wane won’t pick him for the World Cup .
Love the idea that next year will be "Arthur's go Yorkshire" but it looks like the two boys are going to be at Newcastle, and moving to the UK has to be the right thing for them as well as Dad. The hooker, is the younger one, and, maybe the one with more to lose by upping sticks and coming to the UK. The other is a half (a decent player and far better than championship standard) but probably not what we need.
