I've heard a certain mr Clare might be coming back from Leigh to gin match fitness following his bad injury in Feb (thought it was season ending) so would defo help at full back or wing

Well one down mate haha. Any names or is that too cheeky

No pal, I didn't hear anything about Aston signing.

My lad didn't hear anything about it till last last, may have to sack him and get a new source ha

this is definitely one benefit of our perpetual crisis, 24/365 speculation about who is about to join us. Keep up the good work Roger!

Well Aston was one of the three names I was told, so perhaps the guy who told me isn't as reliable as I thought. In fact when he mentioned it to me, it was Aston's name that made me think he was talking out of his posterior.

The other two names he mentioned are hardly surprises though, largely because they've already been mentioned on this thread.

Well looking back on the thread Cameron Smith, Jarryd Hayne, Willie Tonga and James Clare mentioned. Hayne and Smith it is then haha!

In all seriousness happy with Aston reliable at this level. A couple of forwards on top of the names mentioned and could there be a chance of going on a run after Hull KR?

Whilst Tonga, Clare, Gibson & Aston are improvements to the squad .......


WE NEED SOME FECKING FORWARDS

Should make a play at Daniel Smith at Hudds. Was decent at Wakey before getting a long contract with them. Can't get a game for toffee at the minute

Are we in dire need for forwards? Margrin, Peltier, Oledzki, Davies, Sironen, Roche, Bentley, Smith, Hallas, Moore is a pretty big pack. I wouldn't say we're in more need of forwards than we are backs. For me its about getting better more experienced players than players in specific positions.

I would say we need some better forwards more than we need some better centres

Some better forwards perhaps, but we certainly don't lack size. The pack that was named for the Fax game was a big one, albeit Roche & Peltier were lost in the first half.
Haven't seen any word yet about those two. If they're going to be injured, we start to look a little light on quality again.

Take Oledski out of that as leeds will certainly call him back and maybe Smith too. We still dont know whats happening with Moores court case and Sironen's a bit of an unknown quantity. Then we're pretty much back to set of forwards that have been getting bullied all year. So I'd certainly say we could use another experienced forward or two.

Sam Hallas has signed permanently for 2 year

Brilliant if true. Love Hallas's heart and attitude. Only young but captain material.

And Willie Tonga, hardly surprising news
