We steer well clear. He's a fullback now rather than a halfback. We have an abundance of fullback talent.

Only three players out of the whole of that list would I consider personally, and that's consider not necessarily sign. And that's Morrison, Jon Clarke (Dependent on Buderus going), and Washbrook (whom I feel Hull have not developed properly).

Everyone else, leave them well alone.

I have now added Crusaders too it.

Yeah, I would take Hanbury then. And wouldn't need to consider that one, we should do it anyway.

I disagree - Rhys Hanbury could do a good job for us - very underrated.

Washbrook just lacks mental and physical pace - looked a great prospect but seems to been unable to fulfill

I know David about Hanbury, which is why I posted it above you after frosties corrected his post to then include Crusaders.

That reminds me of going into a high street shop late in a sale period. The difference between 'cheap' and 'good value' readily apparent. There are a few on there that I'd have if we could have the versions of 3-4 years ago. Anyone remember where we parked the DeLorean?

Think the op got this bang on as ive heard the same

That made me laugh lots. Thanks.

One things for sure as we currently stand.

We already know we have slipped miles behind Wigan, Warrington, Saints, and Huddersfield. At this moment looking at 2012 we may also be miles behind Hull and Catalans.

Catalans are making good squad changes, but Hull are really going in the right direction. The signings they have made will strengthen them considerably, but more importantly to compliment that they have added a new coach whom in my opinion is better than Maguire.

Don't fancy any on the OOC list if I am honest!

The launch of the 2012 season tickets is tomorow so it will be interesting to see if Gary H says anything about recruitment for next year. He usually announces a signing(s) at this time to show the Rhinos have intentions for the next season. A lot of names have been mentioned and we will see if any are correct. I'm sure GH has the deals already done!

Jon Clarke taken out now, signed a two year deal with Widnes.

Frosties, any idea if Gary H wil be announcing any signings tomorrow?

No idea. I would assume that something is in order very soon because it doesnt look to pleasant for people going to buy their ST as of tomorrow.

Why would anyone buy their season ticket tomorrow?
I cannot for the life of me understand why folk buy them before they have to.
i.e. the week or so before price goes up.

Spot on mate. Some people must have very few happy things in life to rush to get their season tickets, when you have until December to get it at the same rate.

Or maybe they're just flush with cash?

Maybe people find that Christmas is already an expensive time, and like to spread the cost out a bit?

So put it aside in a savings account and let it work for a couple of months. Every penny counts.

Or buy a hodful of bricks
