I see that on rochdales' squad list both Alex Rowe n Misi Taulapapa are listed as released.

They would certainly add much needed experience n another prop 2

That would be Newcastle not Rochdale. Easy mistake to make i guess



A 38 year old not good enough for league 1 isnt the sort of player we need to be looking at

New signing / shirt sponsor to be announced this evening. I’m still waiting for the back i was told would be joining but I would say that is definitely a loan if it is to come true.

Well, we've signed Nzoungou. That, I think, is our front row sorted. Crossley, England, Kirk, Nzoungou & Barlow. With Foster & Scurr as backup, playing a lot of reserve games.

Great signing that. Could still do with another prop. A couple of injuries and we look light again. But very happy with this business

I'm happy with that signing. The pack is looking like a strong unit and a good pack goes a long way. Though we're still a bit light in depth it's looking better as time goes on - let's hope the DR scenario bears fruit.

Levy certainly gets around The Bulls will be his 7th team plus 4 loan spells in the Championship 1/2, And he's only 21.
He was Ok at Salford but was mainly used off the Bench.

He was part of the Melbourne Storm set up in 2017 but didn't make the grade, has some talent to get an invite but the NRL is a tough gig even in their Academy set ups

Crossley, Kirk, England, Nzoungou, Barlow is a set of 5 props that arguably has better quality than the 6 we started last year with:

Crossley, Kirk, Green, Bustin, Peltier, Magrin

I wouldn’t bother signing a sixth and would use the two reserve props as backup as well as dual reg (if we go for such an arrangement).

This is a big powerful set of forwards that will suit the narrow Dewsbury pitch perfectly. A good blend of youth and experience too and some players with a point to prove.

I’d really like to see us bring in one real quality second rower. Am I right in thinking that at the moment we only really have Connor Farrell, Adam Rooks, Evan Hodgson and maybe Sam Hallas (more a loose forward if Kear decides not to use him as hooker?)

Finally there is a hint of a possible d/r with someone, this would be very good too looking at the hull squad

I refer the honourable gentleman to Michael Worrincy and the Penrith Panthers.
