To be fair koppy was good better than both green and tangata and atkins think we both can be right has before lockdown he was argubly one of the better players in the team but to be fair he didnt play after that.

I hope your right and we have a great year and if where 10 th or 11th ill be happy

I'd guess there is a recall if required, he's still a Trinity player. I assume it's the same with senior.

He's at Newcastle Thunder boys!

Yes but he's still our player, he's only on loan. Wasn't Walker there last season but re-joined us at the end of the season.

I can't imagine we'd recall him as it kind of ruins the point of a season-long loan but I suppose we could. I also assume Walker re-joined because effectively Gateshead stopped playing.

Anyway, a handy player to have around, even at Newcastle.

Stated it was season long but there could be a recall

Definitely year long but you’d have to assume there is some flexibility.

I don’t want him recalled tbh, it should be the making of him.

There's definitely a recall option. I just hope he gets the same amount of game time now they're in the Championship as he would've in League 1. It's shaping up to be a competitive division, a year of playing at that level and he could really kick on.

It’s ideal for Bailey. He’s one of those odd players who’s position isn’t yet set. He could be a SO or a LF or even something else. He has the core skills and enough size and athleticism to be whatever he wants to be. He should find that at Newcastle.

Yeah I know what you mean, I think he'll start at 6 but can definitely see him as a ball playing 13. It'll do him more good than a year in the reserves would have.

Good post pal

The coaching situation is massive for us
I can’t recall a time when we’ve had half as much coaching experience
Poaching and last with Chester should be excellent

I see it the same way (although on hull kr Simms is an excellent signing for them)

We have replaced brough, which is excellent, lino could be a real find in a key position

We’ve lost bjb which isn’t good, he’s being such a consistent player for us ever since he came, I think Kaye is adequate but he won’t positively replaced BJB

Atkins n kirmond were here to cover in there final years and were squad players

The only area for concern is prop
We’ve lost koppy and naverette and batty
I am sure some one will turn up, we will certainly need it as soon as either Dave or Green are injured, the club have said they are looking so I am sure that will put it’s self right

I have a really good feeling about Brad walker and that he’ll have a real impact this season for us

I’d say we are in a similar position in terms of first team players but hopefully our half back pairing is finally sorted all be it our prop situation has gone backwards

You talk as if they’re going to smash the Superleague opposition to bits. If your that impressed you should go support them then so you can watch all these amazing players.

No im saying they have strengthened cos others seem to think they havent.if i go watch them then shall i get the 4 x membership trinity tv squadbuilder and lottery money back/stopped too ....just cos i praise another dont mezn i support then
