Sorry to say it but with a comment like that it makes you lower than Whalesh*t

Good signing. Today’s T&A article says he scored 25 trys last season which is a great return. I think the fact that he started out at Bradford but didn’t make it to the first team(due to opportunities being limited etc) makes this a great signing as he is now living out his dream. He is going to be desperate to impress and be successful. Good experience at this level and an older head in the pack.

The article also quotes Kear as saying the only additions we are now likely to make would be as part of the dual reg agreement with Toronto if we deem it necessary. Does this mean the three trialists have been signed already or not? Does anyone know about this?

My lads playing second row Sunday. Scrum half and loose forward last week, he might be prop next week

Roger, assuming Flanagan was the new nine you mentioned a couple a weeks back it looks like the deal must have taken some negotiating?

No it was actually Mickey Higham but he couldn't be persuaded to come out of retirement for whatever reason

Won't he Be hanging on for the Leigh coaching job after this weekend????

Perhaps they said you know its a great Club from your last time here!??

25 tries in a season from a hooker is ridiculous. Most wingers won't even get that!
It's frustrating me that I can't remember a single thing about this bloke despite him being on our books for so long.
Either way, really looking forward to Sunday now and seeing how things shape up.

Regarding the trialists, you would think that would be something one of the RL journalists would press John Kear on when they spoke to him, but obviously not!

Is George related to Mark Flanagan ( son of Terry) who was with the Bulls at the same time? I think Nobby took Mark to Wigan who paid a fee. George was released around the same time (2007/2008??). Always rated him as a good prospect but it was difficult to get in the 1st team at that time.
He's had a good career - I watched him at Batley and he was consistently good . I think he also played for Dewsbury and he obviously had a great season with Hunslet last year.

I always assumed they were bothers but don't actually know. My main thought when they started was actually if they were related to 'Flash' Flanagan of Hull KR and GB fame..

They're not brothers. I don't think they're even related.

Mark is from Saddleworth, George from Holmewood.

I remember talking to Eddie McGuiness about how highly rated George was at the Bulls, but for some reason he didn't break through. Maybe because we had Terry Newton at the time.

..and probably not related to 'Flash' either!
