Hudds player is up in air in light of kopczak affair. London player was kaufusi. Not an option now since l'estrange decided to take up option for last year of his contract, meaning no free quota spot.

Lulia?

Already someone lined up for his quota spot afaik.

Fairdoos, it's nice to fill in a blank or two.

Not aimed at you specifically, but I always wonder why those in the know are sometimes shy at naming names. I doubt any negotiations have ever been undone by mentioning it on a forum!

That said, I also said the other week sometimes it's nice not to know and be surprised, so I suppose it's one extreme to the other and this is just middling in between!!

Hartley or Ewing?

Ah damn, to think we were so close to having Kaufusi. A pack of Nas, Scrutes, Carvell and Kaufusi would have taken some stopping.
As it stands, we still need another prop imo.

Not to mention Sidlow and according to Ben Evans twitter he's on loan for next year also.

In an ideal world, we'd be able to rotate with Sidlow and have Evans fresh for the inevitable injuries. I don't think 5 props are enough for a whole season and I'm not counting Chev as a prop because he flat out isn't one.

Nothing at all. Just another option. Currently trying to work out who misses out. Not the worst headache to have!

So I get home and through the grapevine I'm told Curtis Naughton is using his debut as an excuse to move on somewhere.

I'll be flabbergasted and trés annoyed if this came to fruition.

Sounds like balls to me hindle. Article in T&A says the opposite.

Well there is no doubt that some will be sniffing around if they saw his performance the other day. It's Upto us to show him that he's valued and has a future here. We don't want another Wardle episode on our hands. He is exactly the type of player we need to be building around and I know that the Bulls fans will love the kid.

Don't understand why he'd want too. He won't be a better chance of 1st team action for any team above us. With a small squad, and Kearney inevitable injuries; he'll get game time.

Will he though? Kearney has missed plenty of games this year, but his deputy has been Foster, and judging by what the commentators were saying on Sky, Elliott Kear was to play there on Saturday had it not been for a late withdrawal.

If Kear does go to play FB, if Kearney is injured i would like to see Naughton tried at winger provided we have room on the bench, we may not have played the full strength Hudds team but he is a quick runner who made a lot of yards.

Like to see him get some space.
