Aye. And with him being dead, he'll struggle to keep shuttling back the 10, as well.

Good point. Even alive I think he lacked the physical presence needed.

Lots of individual flair though.

Always has a purple patch on him too.

Hasn't really peaked for the last 17 years either.

He did do a cover of rl"When Will We B Paid?"rl though, so maybe best suited for Bradford.

Pretty sure Addy is definitely off, AoB has basically just said his goodbyes to him via an instagram/twitter post.

Haven't we got the older, hopefully cheaper, full on Championship level version of Addy in Scott Murrell heading our way?

Although he has kicked us to death for nearly 2 years.

Murrell practically beat us single handedly at the Shay this year.

It's time for Addy to move on for everyone's best interests, as has been said before. Murrell as a short term solution, I'm perfectly fine with. Especially if he's the one that ends up interchanging with AOB to give our hooker a rest.

Same here. If Addy's off then good luck to him. He needs a change of club.

Murrell - if he is signing for us- is a decent replacement for a season until one of the young lads is ready to take over.

The article with Rohan today mentions the possibility of Joseph playing at loose forward.

Where did the Murrell rumour even come from? Anyone credible ie not Gledhill?

Red

It was mentioned by Ross on T&A earlier this week

He's played quite a bit of loose in his career. He's a lot better at prop or at loose (as a 3rd prop style, not as a ball playing Sculthorpe type) than he is at hooker.

Ben Evans has now been confirmed by London.

More talk of replacement hookers - I ask again, what about Lumb? Is the consensus that he isn't ready yet, or am I fillng in the blanks incorrectly?

Fev offered a little bit of Money for Murrell and although we are making cuts were still told no. Unless something has changed the answer is probably still no.

Im not sure if I saw it mentioned anywhere but obviously the Tangata deal is dead in the water with the player turning down any deal before it even got to the point of what players were coming our way in exchange.
