I`d keep them all apart from Stewart and Cookson (like his play but will allways be behind others in the pecking order so needs to move on to further his career).

Yep I would have no complaints if we sign these 3 - plus would look at Haliwell to play in the 2nd row (as cover), if not retained by Barrow.

Rudd never done it will he ever?
Paul Reilly no no no no no
Greenwood? We don't need anymore wingers surely
Tommy Goulden has already signed

Always liked Halliwell when he was fit but he did seem quite injury prone in his last spell at the club.

I'm sure Millward will decide but I guess he'll want mostly local players... he made a point of this during his first stint.

I heard a while back that Basil said no thanks re Halliwell whether that has changed since our removal from the championship on a technicality who knows!

So far, we have made some excellent signings - certainly for C1 level. However, a couple of weaknesses that many identified in 2009, still remain - no added pace in the outside backs, and the lack of a couple of penetrative back row forwards. (much as I admire JT and Armitstead, their strengths lie elsewhere)

Aaron Smith has signed for Swinton, announced today

WTF!





Great signing!

We know JT is a tackling machine and Armisteads last 3 games were ok but where does his strength lie ?

That's disappointing, I thought he was one of our most consistent players throughout last season. Was hoping that IM would improve him this coming season! Good signing along with Watto for you.

No all he did was run in ever decreasing circles until he nearly ended running up his own rear end, Duffs wil be a better option.

I think he passed the ball about 4 times all season. Always put 100% in and I'm sure he'll be a great signing for Swinton.

Thanks and Good Luck Aaron.
