I saw a new post by Abe indicated and couldn't wait to click to see if we had signed a prop forward. Silly me. 

Better than King. 

Still need a clue?

Really? I didn't think that would happen, we dropped him like a sack of shat 

Charnley till the end of this season, apparantley. Yikes.

I quite like Charnley and he will become our best uninjured winger so I can't complain. Although I am suprised given the recent history. 

My own theory why King has suddenly become a winger is that he may be better under a high ball than Wrench ... but who knows?
Charnley is fine by me. How Charnley left us means nowt as we've moved on. A small step in the right direction ... we need more players as we are struggling & a few more injuries could scupper us even more. No time to be picky as we are in the brown.

Oh dear. If this has been rumbling on for a couple of weeks it might explain a few things. We know the Aussies stick together and even those that weren't here during Maguire's time here may well side with their countrymen. If it is true and Burgess can galvanise everybody then great. If not I can see a 10 game losing streak. 
Perhaps another example of the "refer a friend" recruitment incentive. 
Ratchford - Matty Russell. 
Fitzgibbon - Yates & Stone (all Knights) 
Powell & Williams - Charnley.


I can't see us troubling Wigan or Hull KR even if we do make the play offs so would prefer to stick with the future for the rest of the year. 


So far I reckon we have named starting line ups with 6 different wingers. Ashton, Thewlis x 2, king, Lindop and that lad from Leeds RU. Charnley would be 7. That has to be some sort of record. 

We have beaten Saints 3 times and Leeds & competed with HKR but the idea that we could compete with HKR or Wigan at the end of the season is simply not a goer. We are wafer thin but young uns need to be good enough or they get hurt. The old pros line 'em up and hit them hard. 

We allowed Powell to take Noah Booth off us for a free leaving present and later Hull KR signed him from Wakefield when they too recognised the kids talent.


We now are rumoured to be looking to recruit a winger who is in his thirties as a stop gap panic signing, when Booth could have played there in Ashton's absence.


What the hell is going on at our club, we should be retaining our young players.


The lack of nous in the Wire hierarchy is unbelievable.

So basically the Wingers in our reserves and the academy and the lad out on loan are not good enough, just wow.
