Talking to a fax player last nite and he knows nowt about james going there

I dont think the coaching staff or directors at clubs would contact all the squad to say "we might be signing Matt James on loan....but keep it to yourselves for now"

why ?

Spoken to a member of the Halifax coaching staff this morning,the clubs have agreed a loan deal but the player's agent is holding up the deal !

If that's true, I hope we have another prop lined up, otherwise we're going into SL looking distinctly lightweight.

Anyone keep Korki's number?!

its being addressed

Korki would have done us 1 more year. Not saying hes the best prop in the World but he would have done us a job for a extra year.

I agree he would of done. Probably a below average job. Again.

Amor, Johnson, Wilkes, Raliegh, James and Spiers down as props. I don't get the panic, but this is Trinity and if some of our fans didn't have something to worry about real or imagined they would be gutted.

The days of heavy 29+20 props are over with the reduction in the interchange. So generally younger, lighter, fitter and mobile props are the order of the day. I reckon we need one more prop but i won't lose any sleep if we don't find one. What we do have is plenty of utility in the pack with a number of player who can cover more than one position. It's also time to give Spiers a chance this seasonor what's the point in bringing players through.

What we now have is a group of potential play makers, something that destroyed us last year and proved sheer effort alone is not enough.

I take your point, but to me we still look a bit lightweight - one more big prop with a bit of grunt would be a welcome addition.

I do accept however that at this stage in the off-season, there are probably no players available who fit the bill.

Is "grunt" the new buzzword? Every man and their dog is using it. Can I add it to such timeless classics as "behind the 8 ball"?...

I'll call your "behind the 8 ball" and raise you a "kick on" as in, "we need to kick on from that performance."

I'll meet your 8ball and kick on, and raise you Stevos "second stanza"!!!!
