According to the ever reliable Neil Barker on Twitter, we're in talks to bring Wayne Godwin in on loan.

Please let this be a bad joke.

I know we're short on bodies at the moment, but

Good player but really?

Hood proving he's a future star for the club, surely we have someone in the lower grades capable of making the step up?

What happens if Hood picks up an injury or suspension? Whilst Rangi is out Theo cant fill in, so it makes sense. Just not sure if Wagga is the man but for a short term loan deal it does make sense.

Seems like a smart move to me. If Hood got injured we'd be in real trouble. Have we got anyone in the juniors who could do the job?

If Locke isn't going to play, which is looking like a possibility, that means Fages will need to stay in the halves for at least the next six games.

Bringing in another hooker gives Harris the option of spelling Hood, as long as Godwin goes well. Can't see too many other option in terms of experienced, available,specialist hookers.
(Unless Howarth's noyt happy with the amount of game time he's getting at Hull)

I think the saw the issue with playing Hood for the full 80 on Sunday. It was by far his quietest game for us so far, which isn't a surprise given that he needed to play the full 80 for the first time this season. When he has previously been used in spells with Lee he brings those bursts of energy around the ruck, perhaps Wagga will allow him to do that.

God no, give me Godwin all day.

Does anyone know if we can call G Griffin back from Wakefield yet?

Not sure on this one why not just give Locke a go at hooker! Surely he ain't that bad a player something tells me Koukash wants him gone!

Already done.

We should be able to for this weekend, as clubs usually don't allow loan players to become cup-tied.

Isn't the question "will Locke ever be fit to play for us"?

I don't think Wagga ever let us down previously, seems a sensible option for us though obviously not ideal!

Bring back Berthezene.

Club have confirmed the signing on Twitter, one month loan deal.

Not disappointed by this move at all - Hookers need to be spelled unless you are James Roby.

After a bit of thought, I take back my initial reaction.

He's always given his all and he's still a good hooker. Certainly will give us the two hookers we need at the moment. You can't really say anything bad about a guy that says he can't wait to put the shirt on again.

It's not like clubs will be jumping at the bit to let even reserve hookers be cup tied for another team either.

Has he been playing for dewsbury??

I was surprised when we let him him go. Is he the greatest hooker in the world? No, but his energy, enthusiasm and, most importantly, understanding what the club had been through would have been essential to building the team.

I'm not saying every player who was on the books during the financial crisis should have been kept on, but more of a nucleus should have been retained and along with Jewitt and Broughton, he would been a good choice. I firmly believe Godwin's character would definitely have helped with the transition, if nothing else he'd have proved a more able deputy than Howarth.

Anyway, if he shows the same level of effort as last time round, he should be a welcomed addition.

If only one thing is for certain from Wagga, it’s that he will give nothing short than a 110% when wearing that Salford shirt.

Salford ran Hood for the 80 Leeds game and it showed. and with injuries & suspensions we're down to the 17 that are fit play. we cannot keep doing that until Chase returns or Lee recovers, we need an experience out & out Hooker to spell him.
We've got Leigh- Cas- Hull - Giants & Wire.
He's 33 and judging by the friendly we played at the Rams has kept himself trim .

some of Harris recruitment has been leftfield , lets hope this is a Josh Griffin , not a Michael Platt hunch.

Jeez, Michael Platt. Who were we playing against at home last year when he turned like the Titanic? I see he is starring for Leigh nowadays

He's been putting in some good performances for Leigh. Granted, at a level below where he was playing for Salford, but a decent signing for us.

And there lies the difference. Hopefully come the second stanza on Saturday out superior class and fitness will shine through once Leigh start getting down hearted and tired
