Aye, av geet the prize turkey fer xmas day Ian.

Hampshire signed for Wakey 1 year contract

This is Kurt Baptists right ?
The 5'9", 13 stone, who played hooker for Brisbane and Canberra...... ?

Anyone any idea what has happen to Greg Mcnally ????

He may have got lost at Pontefract.

Sat Nav leading him back to Pennington

Well at least 3 coaches don't see him as a SL half back, certainly don't see him getting a starting gig with them in that position. In fact, considering the FB and wingers they have, other than a squad player, it's difficult to see where he fits in at all.

Anyhooose, good luck to the lad, seemed to have his issues last season - let's hope another fresh start sees him enjoying his rugby again

Vancouver Leyther I didn't realise there was a height and weight restriction, I remember the giant Kevin Sinfield playing in that position for Leeds and Great Britain for a few years. (1 stone heavier and a couple of inches taller)

McNally for me was nowhere near a good SL player,he would be a good Championship player for some Club, but we must be looking to be in SL again as soon as possible and McNally would be surplus to requirements.Good signing maybe for Fev, Fax or even Toronto.

Of course Charlie its all about individual opinions and, long may it continue to be
I personally have never changed my opinion of McNally and, his individual try against top four Salford in our last SL match at the LSV, was the best and classiest long range try I saw from any SL fullback last season, including Shaul and Hardaker !
I believe Leigh are making a huge mistake in not retaining Gregg and, if their decision is based on KCs observation of him then I can only say, Keiron , you've not seen enough of him!

If your including Neil Jukes in your list of SL coaches? the Jury is still out on Neil's ability and certainly, many of NJs decisions last season were wrong, I believe!
Ryan Hampshire is 22 years old and IMO he is a halfback. Wane and Powell had Leuluai and Gale available to them who are both older and more experienced than Hampshire! Ryan Hampshire was never given enough chance at halfback at Leigh and I'm sure he will prove all the doubters wrong in the years to come. Its good luck Ryan from me, disappointed your future is not at Leigh!

Kevin Sinfield was indeed a great player, who could play in several positions very well and was particularly good at 13 (my old position also many years ago). He is however at 6’1” more than a couple of inches taller than Kurt Baptiste, and to be honest I actually think 5’9” is a little generous for Baptiste.
Baptiste has to my knowledge not played at 13 on a regular basis (though he has moved to that position during the odd game as injury or temporary game plan dictated it) and has been considered a specialist hooker by his previous clubs.
There is of course no set height or weight for a loose, but to play a player who has always been considered a hooker (and a bloody good un’ at that) at 13, when we have others that are better suited, would not be a smart move in my humble opinion....... and our coaches would never play a player out of his best position

From what I seen of training morts and hutchingson was running in the half’s

Fair comment V.L. Baptiste is a hooker but I'm sure we will see him and Mortimer in the pack over the course of the season, Drew Hutchinson (6'2 and nearly 15 stone)hopefully will be the regular scrum half.

Well he's no Rob Burrow is he , believe DB was waxing lyrical over his behind doors performance against Warrington
