The first eh?

Well if the others we have llined up are like richard moore and ben cross we'd be better off not signing anyone at all.

Come on, statistically better? are you serious?

Too many variables to judge from statisics alone.

None of this excuses the fact we are hemorrhaging players from an already weaker team, without even replacing them at all, let alone replacing with similiar/better quality players.

Judging by the recruitment so far and the performance this season you can already see a poor season next year a mile off.

He's an average journeyman.

The type of player the wakefields, celtics and quins of this world use to bolster their squad, but the type of player a top team doesn't sign because they just use academy instead.

I can only assume we no longer have aspirations of being the best. We had our 3 titles on the trot and we're getting our new southstand, so let's let's just chill out in mid table in the comfort zone.

Terrence Seu Seu is replacement for Bedsy

Looking forward to tedious arguments about how Seu Seu has a more exotic surname than Diskin.

If Seu Seu is a better player than McShane then great....if not, again, what's the bluddy point ?

Either way it seems McShane will be the first of an exodus of good young ENGLISH forwards (was it that long ago that some of here proclaimed him to be the new K.Cunningham ?). Well done GH.

I suspect Amor and Ambler will follow thanks to the signing of our dynamic new 30 year old prop

and re-signing of another two

.....even better GH

For once I agree, but last weeks League Express suggests McShane is perfectly happy to stay at the club.

It remains to be seen how we use Moore, but while I haven't seen him much this season, the stats at least, and the reviews he has been getting, suggest that Amor has earned a shot next season. Not as sure on Ambler, but I don't believe he's any less a player than Moore.

With Peacock, Leuluai, Kirke, Moore and (unless something changes ) Bailey, its hard to see Amber and Amor coming back - certainly not both of them. Having 7 props in a squad of 25 would be ridiculous.

Mcshane just signed new 4 yr deal so he going no where I was told when Amor went to Wakey they had the option to keep him so cnt see him coming back and just dont think Ambler is good enough

Never heard of Seu Seu but hope that wont stiffle Hoods chances to the point he leaves

As long as we keep McDermott it doesn't matter who we sign or who leaves the club on the playing front. Even if we win the CC he should be replaced.

Agree DHM.

I said the same last week. 100% agree.
