We've signed Lewis Charnock from Saints on a month's loan according to member's email.

I think the Bulls might cop some flak for the headline of that email
I know it's technically true but there will be people opening that expecting a bit more than just a month's loan of an academy player!

My lord it's happened! Welcome Lewis.

Well I know the name but not really the player, so I had a dive into my records to see.

Five SL games (three in 2015, two in 2013, none in 2014), and one CC game. Fewer than I expected.

edit: I've bolded the games where he started at 6 (home to Salford, 2013) and 7 (away to Hull last May)

Gareth Hock's real surname is Charnock (true story) I wonder if any relation?

We had Lewis at Leigh for a month, after Brierley left, but things didn't work out. He looked promising, but he was difficult to assess, given his limited opportunities. Apparently no relation to Gareth! His record at Leigh was: - 1 start,1 substitute, 1 try.

I see Aston wants Ridyard for the rest of the season. Again, I'm not sure what the situation is with Martyn. I can't believe we have dropped him, (even if he intends to go to Canada next season) given his importance to the team. It would appear that he needs groin surgery, so maybe that's the story with him?

Yeah but only a months loan. Hopefully if he's any good we can extend or its to cover while an overseas target gets his visa through. At least it's an improvemt on no halfback in the short term

While it is "only a month" I think this next month will decide whether we are or aren't in the top 4. It's a bloody important month to have got a HB sorted. And he can kick goals

Id be tempted to stick him staight in with Thomas at 6/7, Addy to loose and Lumb/AOB as hookers, play the lower teams be a good chance to see what he can do and give him some game time in matches we should win easily (hopefully)

Seriously arrogant statement that is given our position in the league.

Er, it's a factual statement, the next couple of games are against Workington and Oldham, and they're the bottom two clubs, FFS.

Bore off FA. I ain't interested.

Come on lads, cut out the squabbling. We don't want it to get like the T and A site.
