Interesting that Paul mentioned an as yet to be announced signing that should make us 'more than adequate' in the front row. Also Ryan Wilson got a lot of mentions so I wonder if he has signed as well. Was nice to hear that they had chosen not to bother with players whose attitudes might not be all that great too - its no good having a star player if they are going to disrupt the rest of the squad.

Looks like we weren't kidding about improving the squad size - we already have the same number of players we started last year with by my count (24) and the squad doesn't really look close to finished.

According to the Rugby Leaguer, Stu Sanderson has re-signed for 2015. Not seen this officially yet though.

Gone a bit quiet on the transfer front.

Would still like to see a couple more decent forwards with a bit of experience.

Maybe we can get Sheffield to loan us some ...lol

Hally confirmed it today.

I see that Hull FC have released Jacob Miller today. He impressed me when he played for us last season and would love to see him as a regular for us.

Miller and Wilkinson week in week out is a mouth watering prospect!

Would be nice although Hull KR and Wakefield are apparently favourites and last I heard Leigh were interested too.

It has previously been reported that Leigh missed out as he was looking to go back home.

Looking at the signings the other teams have made, the competition in our league is going to be much more intense than last season.

It's essential that we have a bigger squad - which we seem to be building, although it can't be easy for the players who will get little game time, as I'm sure all players like to play on a regular basis.

I still feel that we need three more experienced forwards to be added to the squad. Carl has mentioned one.

Let's hope we get some more news soon.

PS. I had got some minor hopes that Leeds Doncaster-born prop Ian Kirke might be coming our way if Leeds off-loaded him. I've just read that he's been released by Leeds but has signed for Wakefield.

Is any one else concerned that we start training soon and yet seem to have fewer props now than we had last year even though this was clearly our biggest problem area?

Yes, but I have confidence the matter will be resolved !

Is that code for you know we have irons in the fire?
Because it would be nice to have some reassurance from absolutely any source since the issue is very worrying.

The squad may be packed with potential, but as of today it looks weakish..

I also note we are low on hookers - solve these two issues and I will start getting really excited about seeing all these kids in action.

I have no inside info just confident in PC.

Which brings us back to ....doe a deer a female deer, ray a drop of golden sun .......

Looking forward to some more signings news soon ....

I wonder who else they've got lined up for us?

Can we assume there will be no more of the 2014 players signing on for 2015 , thinking of Wilson,Nicklas & Spaven ?

I certainly hope not - while I am unsure about Nicklas, Wilson appears to be a good young player in the mould that we are trying to recruit and Spaven
scored some crucial tries for us from dummy half - in particular the one against Leigh.

theres news to come tuesday think it maybe the kiwi that we are getting hope so apparently he makes pas dunne look like a minnow

Making Pas Dunn look small would be hilarious.



(and ever so slightly frightening).

A kiwi!!!
I bloody hope so!

But not the fruit

League Weekly are reporting that Paul Cooke has a former Wakefield youngster on his radar.

Wonder if PC is considering an experienced player in a player/coach role ?
