Read some good things about Moss. Played a couple of 1st games this year.

Read somewhere that Wigan were interested in Lawford. Aren't they dual reg partners?

Wakefield are paying him over twice what he was on last year and a good chunk more than we offered him and paid a fee to sign Lawford. He'll be training full time but it lacks ambition IMO. He had offers from Superleague clubs just on less money.

In a full time environment he might kick on.

A bit OT but Doncaster have made another decent signing in Joe Lovodua, someone who I had hoped we might have been in for at some stage.

That makes 8 very decent signings (alongside Craig Hall, Alex Sutcliffe, Reece Lyne, Suaia Matagi, Pauli Pauli, Josh Guzdek and Luke Briscoe).

Are Donny a team to be genuinely concerned about in terms of securing a top 4 position again?

Most of the players signed are in their twilight years but sill decent players who pose a threat.

If they can keep all of them fit and on the field they'll be a real handful next year.

Impressed by Donny's recruitment but nobody keeps every player fit all season. Don't look behind you, Bulls, look forward.

Fixtures out tomorrow?

Matagai I think he was at fax for a game or 2 and was awful and I’m never convinced on pauli Pauli maybe good for a couple of good runs and then vanishes Lovodua could be okay depending on attitude strongest signings for me are Hall, briscoe and sutcliffe

I think Doncaster will be focussed, rightly in my view, on not getting sucked into a relegation battle.

The last time they came up, they went straight back down. They'll be keen to consolidate this year - hence lots of one-year deals for older players. Smart move, in my view. Although they'll need to bring in some younger players later.

I suspect they'll be happy to be mid-table next year.

Matagi has been playing for Bradford Salem RU this season.

The club will announce 'an eagerly anticipated announcement regarding their Dual Reg' status tomorrow at midday. I assume we will either link up with Leeds or perhaps offer our players to a team in League One.

Can't see it being Leeds. Why hype the announcement if it's a repeat of last year's setup?
Not being linked with a SL side might be noble, but also smacks of us cutting off our nose to spite our face a little.

I don’t think we’ll have an SL D/R partner this year. I think we’ll have “learnt our lesson” on how “disruptive “ it can be and will maybe do a D/R with Hunslet for example.
