Dean Lawford has been re-signed to move us round the park with a 1st class distribution/kicking game.

All Rhinos fans are in agreement that BMcD needs to sort the hooker role out. McShane does not seem to fit in. So I hope the Aiton rumour is accurate?

I heard John Hopoate was signing. Not sure what he's like but he should be able to plug a few holes.

Don't worry about hooker, a guy down the pub told me Cameron Smith is on his way to Leeds.

That's definitely an opportunity not to be sniffed at

No, because there was never any truth to that rumour.

If only!

BLB or Hardacker, macshane out....leading to Aiton in (i prefer Macshane from what I have seen but if there is an issue off the field then makes sense). Kirmond would be great, but I have a sneaky feeling that the GH and KH relationship may hinder this move versus helping it...it would be seen as a stab in the back to Wakey....but its a business afterall - if it does then it would be a multi-player trade.....out maybe moore, clarkson, Minns and Foster on Loan, maybe Keinhorst if BJB stays as he will need game time.

I know for a FACT that we recently made an enquiry to Huddersfield for Danny Brough which was turned down flat

If someone (most likely Warrington) outbids us for Kirmond (if we even do bid) then this presents a problem for Wakey and KH as they can't really refuse the highest offer........unless we do send a few players, possibly both permanent and loan as they'll probably be struggling for numbers next year so could really do with getting a few guys in.

I think we need new blood in the forwards sooner rather than later so would not be against muti player swap plus cash for Aiton and Kirmond.

Isn't kirmond a backrower?

For the love of god we need a prop.

Reading the interviews from GH and the Coach both saying they have told Bjb on more than 1 occasion they WANT him to stay indicates imo he will be off!

It indicates he isn't happy. If a deal was already struck (like we heard back in April) then it probably would've been announced. The season is already over and Wire have announced Penny to return in the backs and a Featherstone forward to arrive.......yet no announcement on BJB.....it might still happen but clearly it isn't as clear cut as some made out it to be 5 months ago.

Haggling over his release terms between the clubs??
