Well that was a surprise - at least to me. I was thinking there was going to be "Hope" - no longer unattached?

Yep, a shock to me as well. Wouldn't be surprised to see Will come in, probably need a new centre too. Corey Hanson's left for York so there's not much depth there now.

I don't know where these articulate and loquacious props appeared from - just as I don't know where Sarah Bennison disappeared to - but if Daryl Powell and Mark Aston like him - and another coach who recently won things at St Helens thinks [url=http://www.giantsrl.com/news/article/909/giants-sign-tony-tonksTHIS[/url then I won't be complaining.

A lot can happen in three seasons though. I'm not disputing it's a good signing by the way.

Sorry to see Cory go! He'll do well at York!

Tonks is a good signing for you lads , adding to Jamie Langley , your pack will be much stronger next season , and you could even challenge Fax for 4th spot , I feel Fev will have a very difficult season next year , and could be among the also rans .Charlie knows .

It appears Peter Aspinall,a second rower,has also left for York City Knights.

Left ?



He was only on loan.

It appears I may have erred.

I find you much nicer on the other forum,winding-up the good folk of Batley.

I am off now for a course in semantics and when I return - with a brand new,innovative and exciting username I shall be




gunning for you.





I hope you are cheered by some good news tonight.

I don't wind them up. I just state facts they don't like. They're used to being "everybody's second favourite club" and they're struggling to cope with being the villains.

Now he has scored for Ireland is there Hope for the eagles this week????

FWIW, Will Hope has been listed as a Sheffield Eagles player in the Wales v Ireland match report in the League Express. He was listed as unattached for the previous two matches.

He was listed in the programme as an Eagles player. Not sure why that should be as he was only ever on loan from Salford.

Well lets hope League Express are right even though they are wrong!!!

Still no hope

No hope - but sam smeaton.

I don't really get the clamour for Hope, given we have Knowles, Musolino, Davies and Langley, I'm not sure he'd get near the first team...

Will was one of our best in a rather unspectacular 2014 season, in my opinion. Think he'd be a great acquisition and would definitely be knocking on the door for a place in the 17. But if the squad stays as it is then there'd be no complaints, really good.
