HGSA committee was told last week that all new signings for next season had been completed and that there were no more in the pipeline.

No, we weren't told who they were!

Thats encouraging to hear that everything is sorted for next year and we are not rushing around at the last minute competing for players with the other clubs especially when the likes of Salford will be in for every decent player.

i was told only 2 coming in and sorted bailey and broughton, hope this is wrong cos i also think we need another prop.

This came from a player over the weekend, he had no reason to tell porkies, let's hope it comes to fruition.

Maybe he's no longer in the pipeline then and has been signed???

I understand the prop we have signed is Gareth Carvell, the next door neighbour of a current player told me at the weekend.

ps long term reader first time member so hopefully my first post is accurate otherwise my credibility will be shot already!

I thought he had already signed with Bradford hadn't he?

Yup, official quite a while ago.

And to think he made me buy him a pint before he told me! Consider my credibility well and truly shot, perhaps next time I'll check online first.

If your source is a good one then maybe something else has happened and contracts hadn't been signed etc. Time will tell but... www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/23044984

Don't worry pal,we've all got mates like that

Broughton signed - waiting to be announced
Kaufusi signed - waiting to be announced
In talks with Craig Huby from cas with a player going in the opposite direction, think its faiumu

Huby - Great fitness for a big buy can play big minutes
Kaufusi - Impact prop

This gives us 4 out and out props with larne then as 2nd row/prop

Mullally/johnson as work in progress props

You got a good source for this mate? I would be happy with just one of those players joining! Huby got good skills and a good offload and kicks goals, always rated him. Kaufusi is just a beast!

can see these happening... and although i would be very sad to see faiumu leave kaufusi and huby would bring a hell of alot to this team.

Huby was in cracking form in 2012... could kick on like ferres with us.
kaufusi bring size and that aggression we need. We have lost the ruck in the big games this back end.
