York Wasps remain confident of having scrum half Danny Waite on board for Sunday's clash with Dewsbury Rams.
Coach Lee Crooks will hold further talks with the Castleford Tigers Alliance player tonight, along with another player from the amateur ranks.
Any new signings would be a timely boost going into Sunday's tough encounter against the Northern Ford Premiership champions at Ram Stadium.
The Wasps will hold a treatment session tonight to assess further injuries picked up in Monday's 12-4 defeat by Batley Bulldogs.
Added to the seven players sidelined for that match, Tim Rumford broke a knuckle which will rule him out for several weeks, Gareth Dobson and Alan Pallister have both sustained groin strains while Craig Forsyth and Paddy Handley are struggling with bad backs.
