Watts has really impressed me, he's such a big unit that he is always looking to give the offload out the top of the tackle.

Maybe galea is being signed to play 6?

I have got all my fingers and toes and a couple of other things crossed
that we do not sign Galea, another 2nd rower, we just dont need, plus
for christ sake, another dobbin, we all might just as well go to caravan park
is it because he friendly with PG. hes allmost as old as grass.

we have made o,meley an offer but wakey have made him a bigger one

I have to say that the recruitment is nowhere near as completed as I expected it to be by now. Seems some of our plans haven't worked out and we're still running around trying to fill the gaps in the squad

I maybe wrong but I thought AP said our players were signed and we were chasing a couple more ?

By 'signed' he must have meant 'agreed' in cases were permission hadn't been granted by the players' current clubs. If they change their mind or get a last minute offer that turns their head, then that could lead to a more 'fluid situation' - like catching a diarrhoea bug.


David Hodgson was rumoured to have come back and asked for more cash from Rovers than initially agreed, after getting a better offer elsewhere last year. Now the Bulls look safe, it is, slightly ironically, maybe a bit of a bear market for the clubs again.

The team could be anything as we don't know who has signed. Add Chase Nd Bateman and it looks good to me.

It's a ridiculous thread IMO. How can we decide on how well we have recruited when we have not annouced anyone yet?

People say we have missed out on targets, who? The obly one I hear that isn't tied up is a proo and it's a possible reason why we might bring Galea in and move a backrow into prop.

We'll see.

After Hornes performance yesterday at fullback. No thankyou struggled to keep hold of the ball in the tackle, and will miss more than he plays next season. McDonnell at fullback sounds decent to me, speciallist at the job not a makeshift fullback like Horne.

Admittedly I haven't seen much of either layer, but Lineham looks better than Crookes inky opinion and I would be happy if he was our starting winger.
