He was rumoured to have signed for Wigan when he came over to the UK, came with a load of hype and has done well for Halifax.

I think the issue is he counts towards the quota spots, won't matter for next year but unsure if he's SL quality or just a top Championship player.

Full time training would possibly help him. The lad can score a try on the edges and seems to back himself with a bit of space.

I guess we will see but id be pleased with that signing.

He/they sent quite a few our way!

Is that an Applegarth or a D Powell signing?

Agree like the other clubs ..Every player was good for one season but we have them 3. That is why we are in the Championship.

Contracted to Halifax until the end of 2024, so unless we are paying a fee it seems unlikely

Paying a fee is now clearly not a problem for us, so hopefully we have ??

Who’s to say he didn’t have a contract clause for superleague release.

I’m sure we will find out soon enough would expect a lot of announcements following the takeover being successful.

If we have money to throw around on signing on fees, we should be aiming higher than a championship player.
And I'd rather give the fee to Kershaw to get him to stay.

He might have a release clause, but we aren't a SL club anymore

This seems an unlikely figure, Bowes is never going to be able to command that, the simple fact is he isn't that Good, don't get me wrong he is a decent enough player with a fair bit of potential to improve, but I can't see us or any other club rating him that highly. I am not really sure what his true position is yet anyway, not convinced he will stay at hooker long term.

Irrelevant if the deal was completed when we were/are. It depends I guess when we are no longer classified as a superleague club officially and what are written in terms of rules around it for player signings etc.

See the suppposed Doyle signing for reference.

Reece Lynne looking likely to sign for Bradford according to Yorkshire Live

Probably be good in the championship for a couple of years. About his level these days. He has been very good for us over the years so good luck to him.
