can't say i'm too disapointed were letting newton go as a further 2 year deal would have been too much of a risk imo. We really need to bring in some quality to replace him though. As dilligaf's said only real prospects in SL would be randall and diskin, beyond that we'd need to look overseas ( hopinh andy ellis rumour last week was just that - a rumour).
It would settle a lot of rumours if club would make a statement re burgess imo.

Cant help but feel that we're getting all bad news out of way at once , ie newton,sykes etc before making a major signing announcement.

If the club classed re-signing Sykes as bad news they wouldn't have signed him.

Would prefer to see Randall and Hopkirk. Then we could ghost through the defence.

think sykes re-signing as first choice would be classed by most fans as bad news. on the other hand if we've resigned him as a utility back and we announce a then it puts it in a very different light.

Deacon and Godwin to Harlequins... Randall to link up with his best buddy Beaver Menzies. We re-sign Rinaldi as back up to cover Hooker and Scrum half. BJ to 7 and new stand off signed in the shape of Wing.

JD on a school night, makes you feel much more positive about things...

I'd be happy if that happened . Doesn't look likely though.

If Hopkirk was the one that was invisible and unable to impact on the physical world then we already have him.... actually several clones of him

Haven't we got him at right centre? Would explain how easy opposition players seem to run straight through him.

and why he seems to drop the ball so much. it just goes straight through his hands.

If we replace our diddy of a coach with the one currently coaching Randall then you just never know what could happen.

or is that me?

Drew poop! You need a brain transplant - Castlefords gain then

And his defence, which is not as much of a worry if those around you can be relied on.

I should not have classed Drew as poop, but would not take him because of his age.
