Brodie Croft back In training today, so we can put that nonsense to bed now.

TNW, new 3 year deal confirmed

That's good,we need to try keep the good young ones around and get them game time

Also good to see Holroyd in the training pictures. Massive year for him personally and massively important to the club that he does well.

Happy with this. At worst he’s a bigger Donaldson. There was that one game back end of last year (I want to say against Catalan) where he was excellent and showed there’s potential to be more than that.

Sounds obvious but I really hope we get abit of luck with injuries this year. Last few years have felt pretty bad, though the crazy bans last season didn't help.

Good resign, not huge not small, mobile fit and seems resilient. Only 21 so could be a real solid Super league prop over the next 2-3 years. He can already step straight into first team rugby and should be cementing starting spot over his contract period. Maybe even push in another level or 2.

Yeah pleased by this news. Though for God's sake I hope we do a better job with continuing to develop him than we have with some in the past. There have been times when I've wondered whether we hand them a contract, pat em on the ars£ and tell them they're world beaters and just leave them to get on with it.

Is it this coming season the rules change around number of minutes played of did I dream that in a Bobby Ewing Stylee?

I thought it was games played. I've really not been paying attention lol

The younger posters won't have a Scooby Doo what you're referring to there Batley

Dream on .

I see Jamie Langley has joined the coaching staff

Interesting move, assistants needed a shake up and BA needs to groom his own successor .

Probably the ebd fir the very poor Chev Walker and grix
