A quality 9 is a must ahead of 2026.
I’m not sure where we get one from at this stage ahead of 2025 especially with no quota spots.
It’s not ideal but we may have to dip into the loan market again for 2025.
Tom Forber would be a potential realistic target. He’s been with us before, unlikely to be in the 17 at Wigan when everyone is fit and showed he’s far too good a player to not be playing SL when he took the starting 9 spot for Wigan in their run at the back end of the season and playoffs/Grand Final win.
I’m confident we will be targeting a more sustainable long term solution from 2026.
The key signings for 2026 will likely be at 9 and 13 I expect.
As you say quality at 9 isn’t around at the moment so I feel we may have to look outside UK for a quality 9. Though perhaps that depends on Doyle and Smith in 2025. They could end up being our 2026 partnership.
Personally so long as whoever comes in will challenge for a starting spot and improve us I will be happy.
