Anyone heard the Garbutt to Cas rumour???

Been around a few months

But there again I’m sure that the same poster that told us months ago that Keinhorst had signed elsewhere said that Mullalley & Walters had also agreed new deals with us?

I remember that too, I’m just hoping they were wrong. I can’t imagine even their mums could make a case for them to be at a top 4 club.

Sinfield looked and sounded a dejected man in his interview. The club did have several opportunities to invest in quality for this season and next in the likes of Hastings and Greenwood though were either not interested or not their preferred choice. Starting to recruit at this time of year is going to mean scraping the barrel.


The exciting thing is that beyond the dross of last night there’s still the likes of Walters and Ormonroyd

Or not prepared to pay market price.

If that's the case then the powers that be are looking very penny wise but pound foolish. The club has some hefty debts to service for the lovely new stadium. They won't be able to meet those commitments with the revenue they'll make serving the on field dross we've seen this year. I hope the sleeve has a few nice surprises tucked away for us, if not we will be riding our luck to avoid languishing at the bottom of the table. Still so long as we're not rock bottom we'll stay up

, but our financial health may be somewhat damaged.

Far and away our best front rower. Would show how far the tables have turned if he goes.

That said, as much as he is an asset on the field he misses far too many games.

Garbutt to Cas is unlikely as we don’t have the quota spot for next year to accommodate him.
Watching last night, you could do worse than take Jamie Ellis from us though. He’s not the best, but at least he might allow Myler to play his natural game rather than try to play both half back roles at once.

We've signed two HBs.

As it looks at the moment, assuming all are fit, this is what I’d go with and where I think we still need signings:

Walker
T Briscoe
Watkins
New signing
Handley / L Briscoe
Lolohea
Myler
Garbutt
Parcell
New signing
New signing
Ward
Cuthbertson

Singleton
Oledzki
Dwyer
Smith
