As HKR look to have such a big squad they could still be available for loan spells

Yep, let Storton and Minchella go to HKR and get someone not as good in return. Ambitious.

(Yes I know we need the money and I’m guessing they didn’t want to stay either but just venting my frustrations!)

Look where ambition got us though, with a squad we couldn’t afford

and arguably didn’t perform

Fair point. Can’t help but feel negative at the moment. Hopefully there will be light at the start of the season....

We were told we would be hearing 2nd December regarding duel reg with a club, ad what have we got so far, a 19yro kid and a guy who hasn’t played for 4 years, we might be best doing duel reg with Dudley hill

What’s the 19yo and Barlow got to do with DR?

I see that on rochdales' squad list both Alex Rowe n Misi Taulapapa are listed as released.

They would certainly add much needed experience n another prop 2

That would be Newcastle not Rochdale. Easy mistake to make i guess



A 38 year old not good enough for league 1 isnt the sort of player we need to be looking at

New signing / shirt sponsor to be announced this evening. I’m still waiting for the back i was told would be joining but I would say that is definitely a loan if it is to come true.

Well, we've signed Nzoungou. That, I think, is our front row sorted. Crossley, England, Kirk, Nzoungou & Barlow. With Foster & Scurr as backup, playing a lot of reserve games.

Great signing that. Could still do with another prop. A couple of injuries and we look light again. But very happy with this business

I'm happy with that signing. The pack is looking like a strong unit and a good pack goes a long way. Though we're still a bit light in depth it's looking better as time goes on - let's hope the DR scenario bears fruit.

Levy certainly gets around The Bulls will be his 7th team plus 4 loan spells in the Championship 1/2, And he's only 21.
He was Ok at Salford but was mainly used off the Bench.

He was part of the Melbourne Storm set up in 2017 but didn't make the grade, has some talent to get an invite but the NRL is a tough gig even in their Academy set ups

Crossley, Kirk, England, Nzoungou, Barlow is a set of 5 props that arguably has better quality than the 6 we started last year with:

Crossley, Kirk, Green, Bustin, Peltier, Magrin

I wouldn’t bother signing a sixth and would use the two reserve props as backup as well as dual reg (if we go for such an arrangement).

This is a big powerful set of forwards that will suit the narrow Dewsbury pitch perfectly. A good blend of youth and experience too and some players with a point to prove.

I’d really like to see us bring in one real quality second rower. Am I right in thinking that at the moment we only really have Connor Farrell, Adam Rooks, Evan Hodgson and maybe Sam Hallas (more a loose forward if Kear decides not to use him as hooker?)

Finally there is a hint of a possible d/r with someone, this would be very good too looking at the hull squad

I refer the honourable gentleman to Michael Worrincy and the Penrith Panthers.

Pestegg has gone quiet.

I think there's a proverb about 'sleeping eggs' - I'm pretty sure it ended in 'gs' anyway..

He/they/it has just followed me on twitter....

I'm completely NOT in-the-know as well, so they'll get nowt juicy from me.

No no no its the middle bit, as in Dogswit. I think it is what he has stepped in whilst walking the walk.

They obviously thought he was worth a look and thats as far as it went didn't play for the 1st Team.

As we both know his defence was always suspect and I remember asking him when the Bulls were in Perpignan if the Coach's had told his game was rubbish, he looked genuinely shocked and said that know one in the Club had said anything and that was before the St's match where his defence was unforgettable because it was that bad!

Well, on the subject of players who've left, HKR have released their squad numbers for next year - none of the players signed from Bradford have made it out of the 20's. Guess Dewsbury are in for a good season then

Don't forget that Hull KR have retired number 6 which is likely what number Keyes would have.
