I read somewhere that Hirst is going to Bulls for 2020 anyway.

Good....can take Scott Grix with him-error strewn/inconsistant/unreliable performances typify what we've been about all year-he was supposably here to set a proper example.....

Well Kear's a big fan.....

Would be good to get Hirst signed up before Bradford get their signing suspension lifted but yeah totally agree about Grix. Ive seen him have one good game since he signed.

Hopefully.

Aye last thing we need after this season is a forward making yards and hitting his front.

We'll see.

We did last 2 games. He's already had a better season than a couple of our props.

But he hasn't, has he? A couple of rumbles forward against Sheffield and he's a hero to some. I just don't get it. Perhaps he'll get winning pay at 3rd time of asking against Rochdale. I won't hold my breath. There's a reason he couldn't hold down his place in a poor Wakefield side. If we want to carry on next season like this, sign players like Hirst. We need young hungry lads, not swapping like for like players wandering around clubs at the back end of their careers. Saying that I wouldn't mind getting one last season out of Ben Westwood. Lol!

Hirst as put in some fine performances within one of the most physical packs in Super League.
I've seen him play when not on sky and believe me he is a honest player who gives 100% .
I don't get the mentality at times of some posters not just us on fax but Widnes,Leigh and more so Bulls, This is championship rugby we play and yes whilst we chase SL in the current economic climate the main aim is to stay afloat. So we need to get used to players who are willing to do a job and have the experience but maybe at times need to prove a point or are at the Autumn of their careers.

The alternative of course is giving rookies a shout and again that means opening up a new wage . Halifax have had league wise a very disappointing season but it may well have been a disaster if tones of money had been pumped in to a gamble.

In the next 5/10 years I can sadly see some big names , founder member clubs go under because they bet on it all on black or red .

So to cut this post short,don't expect a grand final or promotion in 2020 or 21 but expect us to be consistent and in no danger of going the same way as the dinosaurs. Maybe the Bulls should take note

Well said. If we are not in the running to sign a player of Hirst quality(A very good championship prop) then the alternative is quite grim. Some people get something in their heads totally devoid of reality and just run with it. Another example been on the Leigh board where Kevin Brown is not good enough for them.
