Slightly O/T but watching Saints last night, and seeing rumours of Anderson handing in his resignation and the state Leeds are in, one of the best signings this club has made is Rohan Smith. There just aren't any decent coaches out there at the moment.

I don't discount the chance of Smith having a scrum half lined up. Just because we have signed Moss doesn't mean that is it. Moss will have been the first simply because his British passport meant he could sign the contract in the morning and board the plane before the ink dried. We may have a couple lined up but it takes about 3-4 weeks for the paperwork as it did with Smith. We may be in for Leon but I would be surprised if Smith plans to build his team around him over the next three seasons that he has signed for. I expect him to bring in another surprise youngster who fancies joining Smith again. Well, I hope there is. My hope is that he puts together a group of young players who will grow together such as Deacs, Peacock, Fielden, Langers and Robbie did.

Though, hopefully not [iquite[/i in the same league as your list or, as seems [allegedly] to be the case with Mitch Clark, they won't be here long enough to make a big impression.

The signing of Adam O'Brien and hopefully James Clare say we can build a team long term. Rohan Smith seems to have one hell of a reputatation down under. Hopefully that will give us an advantage trying to sign some young players from down under.

According to League weekly today Gaskell is down to sign for Huddersfield for next season. I believe if he was playing yesterday we would have taken the two points. He seems to be the only player we have with the ability to unlock the opposition defence when we are in their 20. GET US A SCRUM HALF!!!!

Someone on Bulls Banter was quoting Green as saying Gaskell is out for 12 weeks.

If that is true and he's leaving at the end of the season, then its doubtful we'll ever see him in a Bulls shirt again.

I wish that people would realise that it really is not as simplistic as this. He may well know the players, yes, but with the RL overseas rules here, and the high likelihood that they would struggle to meet the criteria required to secure a visa, then we could be somewhat snookered.

Thus further enhancing my views on him a week or so ago that I was (once again) shouted sown to for suggesting.....

He is a waste of a wage. He plays nowhere near the amount of games to justify the wage he is earning and it could be better used elsewhere.

It's true heard the comment myself.

And yet Make-It-Up-Mick responded to someone on Twitter asking when 4 players were back, suggesting they may be back for next Sunday. Knowledge!

If that's true then I think we can write this season off.
What's the central funding for finishing 6th? Like, 50p or something?

Claire and Caro re-sign.

Indeed. Clare for 2 further years, as the T&A stated last week, and Caro for 1 further year.

Happy with Clare. I think the jury is still out on Caro.

Over the moon with Clare. That's a brilliant re-signing. Caro i'm OK with. Hasn't been brilliant last couple of weeks, but there's about a dozen others i would release before him.

Pace to burn but seems to lack confidence to take anyone on down the flank and his defence needs a lot of work IMO.

Decent Championship player, but if we ever got into Super League, I'm not so sure I'd want him staying.
