Mitch Brown is out long term I think.

Sandow? [Whistles]

Tyrone Roberts?

Do we have our full allocation of overseas players currently, or do we still have a vacancy?

I think the limit is 7, which we currently have (Goodwin, Austin, Tasi, Sita, BMM, Clark, Mamo). That's assuming the RFL haven't moved the goalposts again (again).

I dont think he's allowed to play or indeed train with any club before the ban is up in mid July.

It wasn't a serious suggestion!

he probably would be allowed to, the pies managed to get hardaker cleared to train pre ban ending and pre season,

mind you that was dodgy as anything, so probably not the best example.

kyle eastmond who will then move to centre next year

Thanks Alffi.

OT but of interest possibly.

I read the other day that out of all Super League teams London Broncos have the least number of imports with four. Goes to show how they have transformed the direction of that club over recent seasons and makes their promotion even more impressive.

I don't think we need to look for cover for Brown at all. Sit on the money and if we're looking slack in an area as the season goes on look for a loan signing to strengthen that area. But don't just throw money at a half when we've won 2 games with Patton in the halves, and he's doing the job we need him to. Give him a chance rather than just saying he's failed and try to replace him before he's done anything wrong.
And for the record i'm not a fan of him but he's done well in his first 2 games, and given time in the position he will settle in and get better.

We said...exactly my sentiments except I'm in the Patton camp.

Dec is in his fifth year with the first team and has made 75 appearances. I know he's moved from half-back to hooker and back again, but I think we can say he's well beyond his "settling in" period. Will he get better? I genuinely hope so.

I remember post after post on here about Ratchford pre a lengthy run at a fullback, he's not a fullback, 'his defence is rubbish, he can't kick goals, he's a centre, he's a loose forward, get shut....'

Touching base here with a few in denial?
I've said it plenty times that he is the most talented player we have, marquee or not. Continuous playing at 1 has finally paid off as he's developed into arguably the best fullback in SL....to reach that level he's been at the club a lot longer than Patton and benefited from continous repetitive 1 starts over the last 2/3/4 seasons.

Don't expect Patton to hit the heights of Ratchford when he just hasn't had that responsibility put on him for long enough.
