Not so sure that Richard Moore is one of the featherstone lads we might be interested in

I think York could acquire someone big from featherstone soon too to make a mark

Misi was terrific in his first year at Fev, especially in terms of winning penalties at the PTB, but hasn't been so good since and although he still wins penalties at the play-the-ball he hasbeen far more likely to simply lose the ball in the ruck lately. Good off-the-field influence though.

Wildie has been very good at hooker this year and can fill in quite well at half back as well, and he's another good-character player. Fev want to keep him but sounds like Bradford might offer more £.

If the York comment is about Mark Campbell, his family do own a 50% share in York but he reaffirmed his commitment to Fev at the fans' forum last week.

Regarding the negative comments about Chisholm we should bear in mind
1. The recovery from last years career threatening injury
2. He’s always been a spur of the moment player rather than an organiser- rather like Sammut. Witness some of the individual tries he’s scored this season
3. He’s probably been man of the match as many times as any other player this season
4. I thought the understanding between him and Keyes had developed until Keye s injury
5. I’ve had a belly full of those fans around me focussing on a half back’s faults behind beaten packs- not only the classic case of Luke Gale. I remember a p**t around us who constantly criticised Deacon especially on the rare occasions when our great sets of forwards were not dominating.

1. I agree it's a bad injury to come back from, it can take the edge of anyone. But I'm not sure how his knee is causing him to throw a bad pass or to run down a blind alley in attack.
2. I agree, but I'd say that sometimes it disrupts our attack to have such an instinctive player making it up as he goes along as often as he does. He can be impossible to read which is frustrating to play with.
3. I'm always a bit dubious about man of the match awards. Who votes for them? I'm not saying he hasn't deserved some of them, just that I'm not sure sure they're a great yardstick for performance.
4. I'm not so sure about that. I think we have missed Keyes as he's the steadying influence we need.
5. Agree 100% about playing behind a beaten pack but when we've won comfortably he does still manage to have a mixed bag of a game, Hunslet away and North Wales away being two examples. It's all very well doing the eye catching stuff but I think he'd do better if he played it boring sometimes too.

When you look at how we move the ball through the hands it's not as well drilled as many of our opponents. Now this isn't all down to Chisholm but he has a part to play as he's been the dominant halfback at first receiver often enough.

The mention that we're looking at Wildie and have been looking at Dwyer suggests that Kear isn't happy with our options at dummy half. One bad pass from there can disrupt an entire move.

James Green signed on 1 year deal. Happy with that. One of the few players who came out of Workington game with any credit.

Chuffed with this, been very positive and adds to a very nice foursome with Crossley, Bustin and Peltier

According to Friday forum we maybe in for Sam Hopkins... I’ve never seen him play is he decent?

Decent-ish aggressive forward. Was at Leigh then followed Rowley to Toronto. Good enough for us I reckon if he's injury free.

Good need another prop or two Kirk has looked out of his depth last couple of week plus need competition for bustin as after green, crossley, bustin and Peltier the standard drops imo

Another signing i'd be happy with. Excellent try scoring record for a prop.

We are not getting Sam Burgess for next year.Resigned for South Sydney. That's a blow.

Ashley Gibson one year deal.

Without tearing up trees in an attacking sense his defence has noticeably been missed when not in the sade. Namely the York game. Think its a bit of a safe signing. I have to admit given his try scoring record throughout his career he certainly has it in his locker is it a case of again showing our limitations at times in attack playing straight to Ethan Ryan's side?

Tbf he has been put on the right wing tends to be more defensive plus grant can’t finish for toffee

Heard we have signed Carlisle and Wildie from Fev

Seems a bit excessive to sign another two hookers when we already have Flanagan, Hallas and Halafihi on books for next year. Need to shed one or two to get better balance in squad.

I expect some players will be leaving.

Wildie i'd be happy with. Carlisle i'd be a bit meh about. However i don't see a lot of Fev so i'm sure one of their fans could give a more accurate assessment.

Would expect Butterworth to be leaving if we're bringing in 2 hookers.

Both solid Championship hookers, both have had good seasons, especially Wildie, who whilst best at 9 can also fill in effectively at half back. Both would have been on contracts at Fev that the club wasn't willing to replicate after missing the top 4. It's been well documented for a while that Wildie has been talking to Bradford, though the rumour about Carlile had been a possible move to York. Perhaps all won't become clear until promotion has been decided.

I haven't seen much of your other hookers but they'd both be much better all-round players than Flanagan in my opinion (as good as he is near the line).

Wildie is typical of a JK pivot player. He can play 6,7 and 9 and should rip it up in your division - good signing imo.

If Hallas stays at Bulls will be more than likely playing loose forward/2nd row. Think we need better options than Vila too.
