Huby would be a massive signing in more ways than one.

Being serious, his last few seasons at Cas before his move to Hudds he was one of the most destructive forwards in SL. If he can shed the timber he's put on, there's no doubt he can reach that form again.

But I doubt it'll happen. Hudds have let go so many players and have signed a only a few so far.

Don't now about that, you probably have more trust in our conditioner than me

.

Our conditioner did a pretty good job at the start of last season...

You know something I don't totally buy that conditioner stuff. Over the last few years I think we have just signed soft or past it players (especially in the pack) and no amount of conditioning will give you heart. Fitness is as much mental as anything and that willingness and desire to go beyond what your opponent will has been missing in some. Clarkson may not be cutting edge but he's not to blame for them running and tackling soft especially as some only do 15 minutes a half.

Nigel Bells lack of "conditioning" was legendary even in the 1980's but he'd go for 80 minutes and I reckon he'd still do it today if you could bring him from the past. I do accept things have changed since then and fitness training as it used to be called is more important and scientific as the game is definitely faster but the fundamental of "ticker" remains exactly the same. This was demonstrated by the Aussies one or two of whom (Sam Thaiday) were absolute porkers compared to the ripped Burgess twins.

I'd be very happy with Ferguson and I'd probably have him in the side over Kirmond if I'm honest. Allgood and Huby would both be good signings if true. I think I'd prefer to get just one of them though and getting another hooker to replace Moore should be our top priority.

Plus, one of the "features" of our game for the past few seasons has been poor ball control, whihci, given all the extra defending we've had, any team would look knackered.

In todays "Daily Mail" of the Rugby League scene, League Weekly, Ferguson is definitely going back to Huddersfield. Shame if true.

Apparently had too good a series for Scotland!

I had a flick through League Express and it only mentioned Clough and Gaskell as confirmed signings, with Ellis going to HKR.
Stone is trying to get Jake Mamo from Newcastle Knights but he's had a nasty ankle injury, this could be the signing that decides if Ferguson stays or goes.

Is the reason allgood has not been announced is we could still be in the hunt for the other fifita brother we can but dream but it says he's looking towards joining a super league club in the latest press release and names us as the team with a serious offer or is it just lazy reporting

I suspect we are just waiting on paperwork in respect to Allgood. There was too much smoke there.

I guess that means we've replaced Anderson, Scruton and Simon with Allgood and Hirst. One more prop required.
