we tried to offload george earlier in the season to saints i think to try get gaskell too.

george got 2 tries at the weekend btw and blackmore got 1 for batley

His degree finished last year mate and he is currently working in Oldham. Hope you are right though!

I'm staying calm as roger daly says he's going to saints

always going to take a while for anderson to get 'his' team...

broughton on the wing and a ball playing loose forward in bailey?? who can also play half back, sounds good to me!

Just had a brain explosion- thought for one minute you were referring to Ryan instead of chris

I agree about Anderson getting his team. The core nucleus was there minus a number 7 which he did try to acquire. But he got ferres, Koppy, Taai, fielden, molally, set Murphy to wing, got lunt back and ensured he was happy and changed the systems we play......first year in charge and what a start! He has done so much rite and undoubtedly have another off season to add to and tweek the squad.
Well done baloo!

Assume Bailey, and Broughton In they will both be on good money especially Bailey, so who,s going?, If big money is coming in then big money has to go, either a star player, or a number of squad players, for Broughton, George, Dawson, Blackmore, 1,2,all 3 ?, l would not want to loose Murphy,
For Bailey, Fergy, Fiaimu, Fairbank,Grix, Robbo even, especially if Dwyer is also in the frame.
We are supposedly up to cap so something has got to give, the squad seems very settled, l don,t think we want too much disruption, Thoughts ?

Dwyer is not in the frame. He still has more than 2 years at Wire. Baloo was quite adamant about that.

Yes hence why it's mad playing him unless as cover and Fuey short spells Lunty so he does two roles from the bench !!

I'm struggling to see what he adds for us

To give Lunt a rest until Leeming gets up top being physically tough enough for SL, after all, he's only 17.

If we really were up to the cap then we wouldn't have been looking for a half back. Our biggest wage by far was taken off the cap when LOD left and his space hasn't been taken up. Also can't see bailey getting on that much- i doubt he would get a look in down under so a last hurrah with us is more than the nothing he'd get elsewhere. As for broughton he is a quantity surveyor and works for a large company (my other half has dealings with them in his job and they are "a good firm"icon_wink.gif - the money may not be the only consideration, travelling time may play a very large part- as could the willingness of his new club to be slightly flexible in certain respects to allow him to continue as a QS.

Still staying calm as Roger Daly advises he's going to Saints

would be a top top signing if we get and and abit of a surprise really would not of expected to get him.
