"Pure speculation. And really, it should be 'NO DEAL' until they come to the party with a player WE WANT + a compensation payment. Presumably, Moses has them over a barrel, so that should be the only acceptable outcome."
"Heard its 300k cap relief and 100k cash"
"Agreed. There is no way Ryles will want Lomax anywhere near the squad. He's finally got everyone buying in - doesn't need someone with an eye to his next contract elsweher."
"We were after Moale in the off season and he chose the Storm over us the irony if he were to end up with us after choosing the mentioned."

Our best 17 players is my pick.
Not sure Capt if King or Pritchard in top 25.
Also King on the bench over DeGois. He has an xfactor about him. Perhaps BA wants to limit the flair in the 9 to allow the flair of the 7 and 6 to be the focus in the early stages of the season.
Taka is a right side player by nature, he was out of position last year, it won't change anyway.

Gower to drop off for Watmough when he comes back
IMO the backline injury free picks itself, the other wing spot is the only real contentious position but Gutherson showed enough to suggest he should be there and he has the added benefit of being a backup goal-kicker if needed.
Likewise the forwards pretty much pick themselves especially with Watmough injured.
The bench is where things get interesting, while not all teams will be going with a bench hooker, I think Parra will at least until Peats gets fit enough to play the full 80 mins. While I'd personally prefer King I think IDG will get the spot.
Kenny Edwards based on trial form MUST be in the 17 for round 1.
That leaves 2 spots with Gower, Terepo, Wicks, Alvaro & Tanginoa the main options (too early to bring in Twal)
I'd go with Alvaro and Terepo but I'm expecting Gower and Wicks to get the call from BA
