then your assessment is off imo

No problem with Bibby thought he did a decent job and I guess he would not be on a bundle so value for money. Maybe we are looking to move forward and based on what we see his value as Leigh are prepared to offer more. Don't think its a case of being out bid by Leigh but more as case of them valuing him higher than us.

What with Tronc coming in does that mean we may be keeping Korki. Our 4 props would be Korki, Stosic, Tronc and Moore - not a bad bunch coupled with Newton at hooker, Morrisson and Fergie in the 2nd row and JD at loose - would be nice if one or both of Wilkes and Snitch were to stay as well but it seems unlikely.

think thats a fair way to look at it. thing is we need more than 4 props because where do we go if we get injuries? wilkes and snitch have played there as it is for chunks of the season. if bibey goes then we still are a couple short imo.

If Wilkes and Snitch stay then we are covered but if as seems likely they are going then I would agree that we need a couple of 2nd Row/Props.

agreed. players who can cover both positions would be ideal. hopefully wilkes and snitch will continue to fill the roles

I think Bibey has played his best rugby for us the second half of this season and if he could have maintained it in the future would have been a valuable asset. Just to throw one in here's a debate. If you could keep one on form over last couple of months who would you keep, discuss!

Bibey V Korky

bibey

Korky for me

Rickys done a good job for us and i wish him well, to those who knock him, i suggest you are rather foolish to say the least.

Bibey has had his best season so far. Before he was going through the motions but I think he has done very well this season. Is this because his contract was running out?? Don't believe the RL express they said Atkins was off to Wire the other week !

Why thanks for that, i will really take on board what you say and try to change my ways for you!

I understand what people are saying and to be fair to Bibey he has had a better year THIS season, but i stand by what i say in that i dont think he is a super league player and am not bothered at all that is reported to be leaving!

I just dont belive how anybody can think he drives it in well, the guy almost stops before he meets anyone!

He doesn't 'stop' he slows down and starts to go to ground this is to enable him to be tackled on his knees and elbows thus enabling a quick play the ball. You would be complaining the other way if he went piling into the tackle and was forced back.

As to the question of Korki or Bibey has to be Bibey for overall consistency and value for money.

Possibly Castleford are sniffing around Snitch- understood why
Possiibly Harlequins are sniffing around Ollie - understood why
Deffo Leigh are after Ricky Bibey - also understood why

obviously a statement made with no consideration for the points made by sandal cat which i would hazard a guess are close to the mark. plus he has played for them previously.
no great surprise if true, and in the same way snitch is better than cas, bibey is better than leigh

Spot on!.That's what i've been saying for the past month but some people still don't seem understand the basics IMO
