We need someone to effectively fill the Andrew Dunemann role.

Im not sure we do TBH, Dunemann was brought in to help bring through Mcguire and burrow but they were already pretty much starters in the first team, weve got two experienced halfbacks, if were going to replace Gale with another HB id prefer it to be someone young and with potential.

Someone like McLelland you mean?

Batley you do realise McLelland played for Scotland which makes him a super duper international half back lol

Only in RU at junior level.

Nah mate hes played for Scotland RL too and as weve been told International half backs are all really good.

Absolutely. I just feel with the susceptibility to burn out as well as injuries that the need for a prop is a little greater, add to that the pretty standard (compared to your typical squad) cover we have at half. I'd hope in the need for short term cover that Johnson is upto speed at 9 and that Leeming goes in there preventing Dwyer starting.

OK thanks mate hope you are well.

We offered mclelland a deal didn’t we?

Losing Gale is a blow, although The story that Austin had come to play 14 always sounded unlikely.

I can’t think of anyone we could recruit to fit the British 3rd half role, unless we did push the boat out and go for young Pryce which would be a great move.

No obvious British 5th prop options spring to mind either.

Keeping Sezer fit is now vital. If we need Leeming to deputise, Bentley could also play hooker as a grafter.

I have been unable to sign on as Mark Laurie for a few weeks and in the end gave up trying, so have taken the name of another hero of my youth.

We did, and as I understand it was pretty paltry.

With the saving of Gales salary i hope the club can offer some renumeration to the scholarship and academy lads that are being asked to play for free which is shameful by the club.

Arise Sir Gregory. Bowden at Hull is the only thing I can think of.

Decent shout Arthur but not sure how much he has got left and seems very injury prone, I’d guess if we were interested it might have happened as part of the Gale deal.
