After announcing Carvells signing this feels like being slapped round the face with a wet fish !
Underwhelmed to put it mildly.

What happened to Godwin's return to the Bulls?

Eh? I hope not. Wagga isn't good enough.

Rhinos fans are having the same view of their ex-Bradford coach.

Recon we can do a swap, FC for BM ???

I would be happy with that

If, as it seems, Heath is on his way, then I understand giving Diskin another year. He may not be in the form of his life, but he's pretty reliable.

I think that he's a player that plays well when the forwards are making ground. He's the type of hooker that loves running at a defence that's on the back foot, and playing off the back of a quick play the ball. I'm afraid he hasn't got the players around him at the moment to play to his strengths. If we can add some more grunt to the pack on top of Carvell then next year could be a different story.

Oh dear, this is the last news I wanted to hear, really am starting to lose hope.

I wasn't impressed when I saw this first thing this morning. But, if L'Estrange is on his way as the rumour mill suggests, it turns into not a bad move IMO.

Disko isn't exactly in the form of his life, but we do need someone with his experience to bring O'Brien on and frankly, if we did sack Diskin off, who else are we going to get to do the job? We'd run the risk of either A) Just having O'Brien or B) Having him and someone who's not going to help him develop.

I would have prefered to have had L'Estrange and O'Brien for next year, but if that's not possible, this isn't the worst alternative in the world.

Pretty much sums up my feelings, I just hope we've got a decent deal in terms of salary reduction.. He shouldn't be a top earner now you would hope.

Matt has not had the best of seasons. However we do need a team that sticks together.
The big additions need to come elsewhere. O'brien still needs to learn a lot even as number 2 maybe a big ask for him next year.

If we had the choice, disko or health we know who we'd all choose.

Unfortunately it sounds as though FC won't have that choice, so keeping disko makes sense, especially with a 1 year deal.

He can pass on his experience to AO'B, and I'm happy he is still up to SL (not on recent showing, but we all know form is temporary!)

Personally I'd have had a look at Keal Carlile.

That kid that's made about 20 appearences for 3 clubs in about 5 years?

Id give him a miss, appearance record says a lot about his ability.

He was one of our juniors and would count as 'home grown', though. Not seen much of him since he left to be honest.
