Bent is a grafter, what we need. Coleman rates him highly.
The squad is virtually all signed so it looks like new signings next? If Coleman wants 28 to 29 players as mentioned then another 10 players incoming. Bennion, Hall, Dec Patton and Romeo rumored already.
Have we signed a big screen yet?
Langtree and Gregson will be around next season.
Still think there's hope of Maizen but we'll see.

@halfback-ragnarsson Lannon is a 2nd rower.
That's all the current squad retained or released now. I wonder if they have timed it to announce a new signing at members Monday at 6pm before it goes out on social media at 7pm?
@dan1 Lannon does often play SR but I think Coleman said he wants to play in the pack and was being used at SR to cover injuries
Looking at the squad I definitely look at Lannon at prop and get another big and strong back rower. Shame Sam Wilde went as he the type of player need or one big Tongan.
For me ATM I'd rather see lannon in the back row..whether that be 2nd row or loose ...two big front rowers(Murray/bennion maybe)....then lannon..langtree lyodd ...thatd be a formidable pack for any team
I think Lannon said he preferred middles, he can play second row or prop, I will move him to second row.
Pascal's right, we will miss Wilde.

Still leaves nine gaps to reach 27 but we might not get that many.
Featherstone have announced seven departing players. Charlie Harris is going to Dewsbury and Harry Bowes to Keighley The other five players are Zeus Silk, Keenen Tomlinson, Wellington Albert, Declan Patton and Jack Bussey.
So whoever has signed Patton can now announce that they have. The article on SARL said implied that Bussey and Patton have new clubs to go to, but just wished the others good luck. As much as you can read anything into these things.

We won’t sign anyone from Featherstone as they have not been relegated.😂😂😂
Would love to see Wellington back alongside Bussey and Patton, then I think we have made some decent signings👍
