Higgins will be on loan as Graham Lowe will think that's the best deal for SCR. Obviously Simms has gone and Lowe with the rest of the rugby admin will do things differently and probably a lot better.
If Higgins is a success he will stay, if not then they've given him a trial and the loan is fair to both the club and the player.
Lowe will have to take who he can right now to improve the squad. Mention made at the Pressy that they are looking at recruits for 2014/1516.
With Lowe there I don't think you'll have to much to worry about over player recruitment.

must be something bad about him for us to even overlook him dangerous near the line due to his size maybe he not all that off the field seein as no super league club wanted him

Does anyone know when the lads from Manly are due to arrive?

Would be ideal if their first game was the home tie V Hull KR and if we had Gleeson back by then and any potential other loanees or new signings that would be a winnable game with what would constitute our current best sqaud to work with.

OT I know but I keep seeing that this possibly Mozzers last year and we could do worse than go with a cheeky bid for him to add the obviously missing edge in the front row.

Manly lads look like a month or so.

We've been linked with Johnny Molloy, released from Hudds, originally Wigan. Pals with Matty Ashurst and big young back-rower. Could do a lot worse.

Unless it was a 1 year deal or a season loan I wouldn't even consider mediocre players that other clubs don't want. The last thing we need is average players tied up on contracts beyond this year. Personally I'd prefer to see our young lads given some experiance.

Let's take some pain or embarrassment this year if we have to as long as it gives us better options next year.

Liam is still training with the first grade squad here and he said he was hoping to get there in a couple of weeks.
