That's the one

Seems an odd time to let a player go just as pre season has started

or another way, the perfect time, as long as a replacement starts as he leaves.

Matt James it is, full time deal. Thats back up to two forwards needed then.

Mason and Kirke have been doing the rounds for months. no smoke withour fire??

Given that our starting props are already in situ, Kirke would be a fine addition.

I also think Mason has something to offer as an impact forward - if all that enforcer nonsense is left behind and he's coached to just run hard and straight, he's still a handful.

Agreed, no such style or position exists in the modern game. That's not to say a certain toughness and willingness to stand your ground isn't an asset - it is but that's all about mentality. One more prop ia all we need.

Amor
Raleigh
Poor
Wilkes
A N Other

not bad to start with and if we hit a crisis loan players are always available.

I agree. I'd like to add Kirke to that list and I'd leave it at that.

As for Mason, I don't really like his style of hardness. He's too willing to give a penalty away without actually gaining anything for it. I do think our forwrads will need to protect Smith this year. There will be a few thugs that think messing with him will gain an advantage over us with no retaliation. You need forwards who will stand up for their team but not one with too quick on the draw.
Poore seems to be willing to handle himself in SOO so I'm ok that he'll be able to handle himself with us.

If i remember correctly Ali and Raleigh had a bit of handbags a few years ago, so the're not afraid of getting stuck in

Mason or Kirke sounding likely then. How about Walmsley on loan from Saints?

Walmsley is dual reg at Batley according to what John Kear was saying a few weeks back outside the Heritage stand at Batley.

Added Goulding Jr to squad, also updated rumours.

hes the one we should have had great prospect better than Amor was when he came to us on loan 2 years ago
