I think we've allready established that signing someone until the end of the season is not classed as a ''loanee'' so i wouldn't worry about that. We allready have one though in the man of mystery who we havn't see yet - James Duckworth from Leeds.

I'd consider moving MCB to the wing and Foster to centre. The former looks threatening with the ball but a little lost defensively (still better than JO'C though), whilst the latter is a very good tackler but seems lightweight in the forwards. These moves would, of course, require us to bring in a couple of big old props - which we've all been crying out for - and re-organise our forwards a little. I think it would make us more solid all round.

Sadly that has been obvious since day 1, and i cannot see any evidence that they are going to materialise?

Hooray

I've found someone who is even more of a nitpicker than I am.

You mean "I've found someone who is even more of a nitpicker than I"

Nice to see that Gus didn't managed to drive the Grammar Police Away.

... and another.

There are many wingers playing in the Championship who are better than O'C - for instance Will Sharp, Kevin Penny, Rob Worrincy (although currently banned) and Tom Armstrong. That is why he was in league two.

I don't understand why we haven't signed Alex Brown from Leigh Centurions. He scored 9 tries in 16 games in Super League last season, can defend, is built like a brick outhouse and clearly good enough. He's just been loaned out too, so surely is available.

Yes but would he move south?

I've thought for a while that the club should have been mining the Championship for talent these past few years. Established SL players arent interested in coming down, but part timers who want to make the step up might well be tempted to give it a whirl. There is talent in that division. Ah well, we'll be in it (hopefully) next year anyway!
