Our pack will be quality next season and every other clubs signings are very uninspiring.

The three-peat is most definitely on

My take on the above if it is fully complete is below.
Balancing players leaving with those arriving makes some teams stronger rather than weaker.

There are obviously some anomalies as with Wigan I would see O’Loughlin as a big loss although with his injuries in recent years he may not be as a big a playing loss as I scored


CASTLEFORD TIGERS. Stronger

INS: Lewis Bienek (Hull FC), Niall Evalds (Salford Red Devils), Suaia Matagi (Huddersfield Giants – Loan), Gareth O’Brien (Toronto Wolfpack), Jordan Turner (Huddersfield Giants).

For Hull FC people are missing the fact we have gotten rid of Club Hull, Radford and Last gone, Ellis on the coaching staff and disinterested Jones gone. We will be better next season than some think.

Stevie Ward has also retired from Leeds' ranks.

That inglis signing was the most uninspiring.

Patron has also been confirmed as leaving warrington now, id say we're (slightly) stronger, as we've got a couple of decent actual props now, though there's still the chance price might not play them, ever.

Cas brought in 2 fullbacks which is good, probably need to get at least one more to be on the safe side.

I wouldn’t say that. There are plenty more ahead of him.

Gary Schofield's analysis for the finishing spots puts a Weak Wakefield easily bottom place next year.

Leigh's survival may only need them to see off Wakey. Do they play each other in the "loop" fixtures??? These would be "4 pointers"....

Who between Leigh and Wakefield are better placed to bring in players to cover injury and poor form mid season?? Mr. Beamont or Mr. Carter??

Seems to be quite a number of players leaving Catalans and heading to French clubs.
Surprised by that when I read on here about NRL and M62 players signing for Catalans to boost their retirement fund.

LEIGH CENTURIONS
Ins: James Bell (Toulouse Olympique), Ryan Brierley (Hull Kingston Rovers), Jamie Ellis (Hull Kingston Rovers), Matty Gee (Hull Kingston Rovers), Joe Mellor (Toronto Wolfpack), Nathaniel Peteru (Hull Kingston Rovers), Lewis Tierney (Catalans Dragons), Blake Wallace (Toronto Wolfpack)

plus Ben Flower.

But who are Catalan replacing those leaving with? Young talented french lads or are they making way for some more ageing players and NRL castoffs?
