Heard today danny tickle signing for huddersfield

Been waiting weeks for the rumour thread!

Sounds perfect

Ditto.

It would be the most pointless signing ever.

If tickle goes to Huddersfield I don't think we'd need to replace him unless washy left.

Manu
Whiting
Fitzgibbon

Lauaki

Burnett as back up.

Let's use our spare cash to bring in replacements for Radford, Dowes and two 3/4's.

Just cant see it unless it is to replace Fitz which seems pointless, he is good player but overseas. too old and injured too much.

As Sheldon has said we haveplenty of cover in the backrow, even if Tickle leaves we have Turner, Whiting and washy who could play in the backrow.

Also we have Kent, Cunningham and Crookes coming through.

Wouldnt be a bad signing as he is a very good player when fit but would be a strange and pointless signing as we need to recruit in other positions.

The only good thing would be his ability to play stand off.

How much potential does crookes have?

Lots IMO, picked for England under 18's squad along with Lyne and Briscoe, starting the year playing for the under 18's, not playing for the reserves, played the last 2 games scoring a couple of trys and kicking a few goals. havent seen him play for a year or so (Hollywood fraiser will be able to give a more recent view0, but when I have see him he looks very good, hopfully as good as his Dad.

Think people are underestimating danny tickle think he is a big player for us and be daft to let him go as for ben crooks nowhere near ready still very skinny and why rush players

I don't think anyone wants tickle to go nor is any one saying crookes should replace him.

Think we'll part company with Galea at the end of the year, he's a great player and we miss him when he's not playing, which unfortunately he is a fair bit, but age will start catching up with him and best to get rid sooner rather than when its too late.

I'd be shocked if he goes to you lot for a lot of the reasons above, suppose he does give utility as he can cover 2nd row, 13 and 6 but think you have utility in abundance. If you did sign him then injures wuld not be down to bad luck, just inevitable.

Seriously there have been some crap rumours on this messageboard but this is down there with the worst of them. It ain't happening.

I thought he'd at least get a year extention with you tbh.

Not the worst idea i've heard and should be playing there for Rovers imo.
