And it looks like 'Charlie ' has been usurped as the 'knower of all things'!

Speaking of Harold not seen him on here for a while

That's true. I always enjoy his contributions. Come back again, please, Harold.

Praise J Acton and he'll be here like a shot.

Very true - but then we probably won't enjoy each others contributions!

Seen the team running through some stuff looked like Mortimer and Hutchinson was in the half’s so looks like Baptiste hood Cunningham for hookers should have enough with them 3 and Reynolds cover for the half’s how many more players you reckon we need everyone?

Alan, I honestly think Jamie can put things right, and also knock on the door for an international spot. Others might think i'm mad, but that's my opinion.

I'd like to see another powerful prop in there Monty.

We used 30 players in squad last season. I think we have 27 already confirmed - so I guess we are not far off.
However if we run a reserve team we will need some more for that!
I think we need more strength in depth in the halves. Hutchinson is coming in off a bad injury and last season Mortimer only played 7 games before getting injured. We don't want to lose our play-makers early in the season without a Plan B.

he's probably been banned......

Budge (good evening), you really are like a dog with a bone.

To remove any misunderstanding and innuendo, perhaps that should have read "bitch with a bone". Let it go man.

Monty (good evening to you too). "Soon" is a little more vague than your confidence of around 10 days ago that stated that he would be announced on Monday. Bongser assumed that you were referring to 04.12.17 but perhaps you merely meant that he would appear on "a" monday (like Solomon Grundy).

Do you have anything solid, because Bongser (who mainly takes on liquid) is tiring of the dry wilderness of no firm news?

The 'Trade press' were reporting that the Baptiste signing (for Leigh) was due towards the end of the week. (i.e. last week) www.totalrl.com/leigh-centurions-kurt-baptiste/

Yeah got firm evidence on this

Higson to Toronto by the looks of things

Be interesting to see how that pans out with Pownall and Kay

Patterson also signed mate

Have they also signed the RFL?? Because I can't imagine they would allow any other team get away with the fixture pi$$ take that Toronto are getting away with

They must have they playing at Newcastle magic weekend to against Toulouse

Who, Cory? Didn't he sign for Doncaster RU?

I’m hearing that there could be a massive u-turn with mcnally just let me gather more information before I can confirm it I hope it’s true

Yeah both signed the otherday

They had better make it quick because he is just turning off for Pontefract !!!
