I suppose the one thing in Walmsley's favour is the proposal that Australians/NZ/Islanders that have been over here for 5(?) seasons will no longer count on the quota. If that goes through then suddenly his options open up.

His signing for us for the start of the 2021 season was in November 2020. 

Wasn’t there a condition that it had to be 5 years in Superleague. I recall something like that where championship may not be considered. That was a while ago though and I disagreed with that. 


If this were to be passed then Lino could come off at the end of this season which would be a huge boost and give us 3 spots for next season instead of 2. 

Khlav Kalash: Dom Young anyone?! I know, he's likely to stay in Australia.  Seems we enquired, which is a statement itself. https://www.alloutrugbyleague.co.uk/news/dom-young-situation-attracts-super-1141134?utm_source=whatsapp&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=communities

He has been getting some negative press for his hard carries and side wards running. That seems why he’s on the out. Tchamambe is likely in the same build and I do wonder if he will be ready next season to stake a claim or whether his year will be 2027 as he is young.  Either way we need a quality winger next season who has pace and can make good carries. Be interesting to see where we go with that.

As regards Walmsley - up until this last match I thought we could do better, but now I'm undecided.I like the way he never shirks and strives to get to top SL standard and think he's not far off. Powelly hasn't really helped him by making some strange team selections lately either.As an aside,I remember the 2023 relegation team and a winger called Jorge Taufua who was tough but not much else.
Atoni is easier for me.He can be the best player on the pitch but nowhere near often enough.Under the constraints of the old regime he would probably be the best we could afford, but we can probably do better now.
