Must have missed it, but in today's LE Stevo says it's nice to see Rinaldi get another chance at playing in SL next season. Apparently he's been offered an extension to stay on at Trinity. I'm guessing he is Latu's replacement and IMO he is a better player.

If that's the case I'm well chuffed.

He's been spot on since coming to Belle Vue and he looks like Eric Cantona (seagulls anyone?)

Any takers as to who will get a kick in the crowd next season?

Looking forward to the pack forming a scrum with garlic and onion breath.

Good news if true

When he came on yesterday he gave the team much needed direction, best hooker we have at the moment...

I thought that was because they took Cookie off

Agree. He definitely injects some pace into our attacks and looks dangerous with ball in hand.

Plus he doesnt have a dodgy skip and drop the ball

Apparently it was rumoured in the Cats bar that he had been offered a year's extension, it was also rumoured that Paul Cooke had been offered or had signed a two year contract with the club.

Hope the second bits not true or I will be cancelling the Gold Membership I have just bought

I honestly don't know, it was a poster on here what had been in the bar before the game and he told me and a few others about both Rinaldi and Cooke, tbh I took the Cooke bit with a pinch of salt thats why I cannot say whether he had signed or had been offered the 2year deal.

Although Cooke hasn't done anything to justify an extension, it would be interesting to see how he performs at 13, especially with Demetriou leaving.

Maybe we should put him in at 13 for the last 2 games? Either we save ourselves a pile of money, or we unleash the beast. (My money's on the former, butchoo never know.)

I wouldn't play Latu in the last two games. What have we got to gain by doing it? Send him home to be with his new child and play Rinaldi and Obst at 9 and interchange.

Was Cooke taken off injured yesterday?

I can't see it given his job and fact that he wants to be with his family but great if true.
Wonder where all the posters are that said it was s rubbish signing.

Paul Cook has been the fall guy since he joined.

The bloke has been on an hiding to nothing, a pivotal position halfway through the season with plyers and moves he did not know, the expectation he would produce the goods, BJ injured, Sam injured no continuaity

Give the bloke a break I would love to see him at 13 next season and the season after, playing out wide he could really make a difference, at the moment there is too much expectation, the people who should be looked at are the ones who decided to get rid of Brough for a few quid, that has cost the club far more that what they got for Danny, coupled with the 20 quid price on the gate both disatrous decisioons imho
