After a relegation fight are you?

Pownall, Maden and Gardiner to fight for a wing position imo. Ballard would be nice to have.

Gardners never played wing though. He's clearly a centre.

drifting slightly here, but did we sign Higson back or have I dreamt it

Mat Gardner was and still is a winger who we just happen to play in the centres because he has size, check his history. All the better teams target him at centre, and most do it well.

Signed for Swinton

Swinton chairman said Higson wanted to listen to their offer. I imagine he'll go where the money is.

With Armstrong signed with t'eagles now I think swinton will keep hold of Higson by all means

Players have to consider the money on offer but' they will also take into account likely win bonuses.

I am confident our team next season will be stronger than last.

I rate Higson & would love to see him back here but if he don't want to play for us then feck him he obiviously has no aspirations as a successful (on field ) rugby player

My understanding is that Adam has just had/is about to have a knee clear out. It would be folly for anyone, including us, to sign him until he is able to prove the success of that procedure.

feck that maybe the season after next

I spoke to Trevor last night and he said aspinwall is a Leigh player and this is registered with the rfl

I suspect Martin will still be under contract to Hull until November - that's when most contracts run to.

Here's a couple of hypotheses for you: I wonder if he wants to stop playing full-time RL, (and travelling across the country) to concentrate on the next phase of his working career, after RL, and play 'part-time'? I also wonder whether Hull have made the noises about still being in discussion with him, to ease the disappointment among their fans, at having to let him go?

Yet still no official announcement from the club.
