Any one for league 1 rugby?

On the other hand.
Part of why they are being released is to try and avoid, not contribute to precisely that outcome.

Keegan Hirst back to Batley.

As you predicted a couple of weeks back as I recall.

Makes you wonder, with Keegan, Dan and PB moving on who will be incoming to bolster the pack.

Although not withstanding on how we rate them and either way (club and them) a return would be on the cards.

Dan’s move is on a months trial basis and Paul was Toronto bound which still must have some doubts about.

Jodie Broughton signs for Batley.

Sad to say its not the 90's and you can have just about any 2 players stood on the wing if you are not going to get the ball to them in good position. We have not done that on a regular basis for years.

Broughton to be fair he did score 5 in 4 games . Who knows how many in a season batley may find out .

The Batley chairman reminded me of that on the other forum. I couldnt remember a single one but picked the Leigh game for highlights where he scored 2 and both were pretty much walk ins and he cost 2 or 3 tries so swings and roundabouts. Im sure he is a decent player but not ideal for our style of play. Im sure McGrath will do a decent job on less money.

I thought you we're on about Rob Worrincy for a moment there.

This close season is going to be a very long one given the current climate. Yes we have lost some stalwarts and fan favourites but to be honest despite some individual highlights the team as a whole has under performed, or perhaps have performed to the level of which they are capable. I don't think we have lost any "world beaters" even at our level although I'm grateful for all their efforts in a tough game. I don't know what to expect in terms of recruitment but let's give the coach a fair crack and see what he comes up with in what are very difficult times

Agree with most of that, I think this team had come to the end of its cycle and we needed a bit of a clear out. I think RM needed to make a few more of those choices a bit earlier though as things started to become a bit stale.
