Looks like Bob could be out for a long time then.

Cheers for that Leigh

Or on his way to Wigan

That's what I reckon Col....or somewhere else anyway.

I'm all for the conspiracy theories, but didn't Micky pick up an injury on Sunday?

Cracking signing. Very happy with that one.

Maybe bob's due back and Mickey needs a break. He's been playing with injections and it's telling on him too.

Bring Liam in with Mickey for the Fax game , then Bob & Liam thereafter whilst Mickey get's himself sorted.

Terrible thing those clause's.

Agreed, but do we need 4 hookers including Lewis Foster (although he can do a job in the 'half back' position)

Whatever is happening with Beswick, it's odd the club hasn't announced anything about the Hood signing.

On topic - Good signing. You get the impression that Jukes doesn't fancy Foster in close games, so need someone in, as it is vital we have Higham fit for the big games.

Good signing! Feel for foster but he's time will come! He needs to bulk up a bit! From what I have heard from my usual source and this news I'd say it's unlikely we see Beswick again! Shame because he's a top top player and has been at the club all year even though he ain't playing

Good signing Liam Hood, never an 80 minute hooker but if spelled with Higham (which I assume he will be) then he will be devastating in the Championship.

Another signing though that adds fuel to the fire regarding the Rangi, Kay and Beswick rumours.

You mean the one that says they have been told to stay away. All bar Rangi have been at the club. No idea what is going on with Rangi.

A good signing for you, not letting the grass grow under your feet and covering off an important position, if Higham got injured you would have really been struggling.

How would signing a hooker fuel rumours about a winger?

Well it was rumoured last night that Kay is back training today, Rangi - well lets wait and see, Beswick - all the best at Wigan is my guess, seems to have issues after Rowley went but they haven't been all over the media.

Hood Higham and Foster covering hooker which will do for me as Foster will get plenty game time.

I said another signing that adds fuel to the fire over Rangi, Kay AND Beswick. In recent weeks you've signed Charnock (half back and given Dewbsury notice for a recall on Reynolds), Owen (winger) and now Hood (hooker).

Yes, but:-

=#FF0000Charnock is just a month's loan - at the time, Chase, Brierley, Ridyard, and Beswick were out, and Reynolds was four weeks away from returning from his loan at Dewsbury.

=#FF0000Owen was needed at weekend, as Kay was out injured, and our only two wingers, Higson and Pownall, were needed at centre and full back respectively.

=#FF0000Hood is needed if Beswick (achilles) needs an operation, or departs for pastures new. Odd he hasn't gone yet though - unless of course he HAS an injury.

Santa Claus being the exception

Ho Ho Ho!

Looks like Santas got something for you also.

Good signing considering we're desperate for a Hooker with Bob out injured, Higham playing with an injury & Foster not quite the finished player yet. Unless Bob is still a few weeks from recovery & Micky's injury is getting worse I'd have liked to see Foster sent the other way on loan to keep getting game time. As for the Bob Beswick rumors he was in the Legends' Bar before the London game being interviewed. You don't parade a player who is leaving/banned from the club in front of the fans to say how much he's looking forward to coming back from his injury to play again.
