This is what I find strange......

Luke Briscoe went to Wakefield and returned to Rhinos after playing one game. They considered dual reg with Hunslet but it was publicly announced that he could not get into the Hunslet side, so went back to Wakefield and hasn’t played since.

Baldwinson and Tonks for sure would have been offered dual reg with Hunslet, but again, as good as they are, were they told they would not get in the Hunslet team at this time?

So, it just goes to show what state London and Bradford are in if these lads (inc Minns, Foster & Ducky)can get game time in SL and not in the Championships.

Before people start saying they are too good to play for Hunslet, lets not be silly. Hunslet have around seven players who were in the old U20’s academy a few years ago and some were on first team contracts like Liam Hood and Jimmy Watson.

Perhaps these lads might get a stint at Hunslet next season when players and dual registration is being considered? Or perhaps they will play for London and Bradford in the Championship when they both get relegated?

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg



It's an interesting one and I suppose we'll only see in two or three years time. I always thought that Baldwinson would be a good player, not so convinced on Tonks.
Will they think they have failed after being released so soon? OR
Will they think that it was an experience worth having and treat it as part of their rugby education?

Time will tell and we'll find out then.

"The Golden Generation finally has its Golden Fleece! They have Wembley Cup Final winners medals to add to their collection." 23/08/2014:



Baldwinson wrote on Twitter in response to somebody....

"I was playing well mate! Just my future is slim mate a lot of top NRL players sign long deals! Take me years to get a sniff"

Could've told him that 12 months ago tbh.

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj] Kevin Sinfield:982.jpg



Whilst I am happy to have Baldwinson back based upon how highly others rated him and how much wailing and gnashing of teeth we had when he left it does worry me that the lad has now shown a real lack of patience in a short time span. Not happy with his path to the 1st team at Leeds, so he's off. Not happy with his path to the first team at NZ, so he's off.

I may have put 2 and 2 together but it doesn't speak volumes.

Another Baldwinson tweet, to his pals Cam Leeming and Ryan Hampshire was "it's mental how strong the comp is, I haven't played one bad player yet!! everyone just freaks"

This is a pretty good sign for him, imo. He'll have learnt a lot about what these young players do and be a long way ahead in development compared to if he'd have been trundling around the championship. Bradford might come as a bit of a shock to him though.

Quote: BrisbaneRhino "Hasn't GH in effect saved a whole year's pay - albeit peanuts - and yet had these two get more experience both overseas and most likely SL? The man's clearly hopeless. Get rid.'"


Another GH masterplan.

I swear, that guys like an evil genius.
