That would be a bonus - we've never really recovered from the loss of Rinaldi, when we had by far the best beard in SL; Amor made a manful attempt to fill in, but he never really got past looking like a homeless. Every club needs both a ginger, and a splendid beard; ideally not on the same player though - that's just scary.

Whether they are coming or not it's taking a painfully long time to materialise

Cant see Huby coming unless Hudds are desperate to get him off the cap even then they may want a transfer fee
Huge disappointment regarding Ferguson
My biggest concern in the back row is just how fit are Kirmond, Ashurst, Molloy & Annakin
All good players but not had the best of luck injury wise

Ruby is out of contract today apparently too how can Hudds demand a transfer fee?

He signed a 4 years deal when he moved to Hudds at the end of 2014. So he isn't out of contract till 2018.

I imagine IF he comes it's because Hudds want to make room in their Cap to sign a couple of players, probably from Aus. Saying that with the wage he's one at Hudds, we'd have to put a good package together for him to be even tempted to move imo.

It might be 'beggars can't be choosers' for him. I'm struggling to think of another side who might need a prop and have the 'wiggle room' that we may have.

Going on what Wren said.

They can have the Simon money, seems fair.

Yes it could definitely be that, if he wants a move away from Hudds. The only thing that gave me reason to maybe doubt it, is because they lost Crabtree at the end of last season and now if they were to lose Huby they'd be after a Prop themselves, even though they signed Clough. I think they've got quota spaces available over there though, so that might come into it.

What happened to that post from bigalf saying he had signed as a friend of hubys worked with him? Was it a wind up?

I was in Starbucks today and sat nearby was Chester and Huby. It may be nothing but I thought it might be of interest.

Yes I saw that post, it was by a poster called bigjeff and then when typing a reply to someone it disappeared. Maybe thought better & keep it shtum.

Far from paying Hudds a transfer fee it's more likely that Hudds will pay a chunk of Hubys wage in order to free up some money to sign someone else.

That would make the deal even better
