Loseing a raft of players and in Smith and Green...not a good half-back pairing and Wane will earn his corn next season as it will be the end of the team Madge built.

By 'signed' he must have meant 'agreed' in cases were permission hadn't been granted by the players' current clubs. If they change their mind or get a last minute offer that turns their head, then that could lead to a more 'fluid situation' - like catching a diarrhoea bug.
David Hodgson was rumoured to have come back and asked for more cash from Rovers than initially agreed, after getting a better offer elsewhere last year. Now the Bulls look safe, it is, slightly ironically, maybe a bit of a bear market for the clubs again.

The team could be anything as we don't know who has signed. Add Chase Nd Bateman and it looks good to me.

It's a ridiculous thread IMO. How can we decide on how well we have recruited when we have not annouced anyone yet?

People say we have missed out on targets, who? The obly one I hear that isn't tied up is a proo and it's a possible reason why we might bring Galea in and move a backrow into prop.

We'll see.

After Hornes performance yesterday at fullback. No thankyou struggled to keep hold of the ball in the tackle, and will miss more than he plays next season. McDonnell at fullback sounds decent to me, speciallist at the job not a makeshift fullback like Horne.

Admittedly I haven't seen much of either layer, but Lineham looks better than Crookes inky opinion and I would be happy if he was our starting winger.
