Could add Cartwright and Staveley in too, that's alot of size missing.

This season has been one calamity after another.
It's typical just as things were looking up a bit. Ah well, we'll just have to be content with another battling display on Saturday.
Try and stay in the game and you never know.

Player 51 incoming.

the only saving grace is saints are clueless with the ball. They will probably batter us into submission with a stronger forward pack though. For all of their bleating, their pack will be a decent one on saturday

Player 52 is houghton's unknown cousin

Need to get a shift on with the deadline on Friday although it seems that there's not much available.

Signed Leon Ruan from Leeds.

An extra body I suppose but someone who can't get a game in the current leeds side is hardly going to be pulling up any trees for us

was hoping for a hull win with the recent turnaround but looks unlikely with the absentees keeping the soreline respectful will do,, best wishes neil

Leeds backrow (on paper anyway) is decent Martin, Mcdonell and Bentley.

Don't know alot about him to be fair, no harm in signing him, another body amd a chance to see how he does, with an eye of maybe signing him long term.

I dont suppose it matters in the long run,Its an extra body and we are down to bare bones, but a very inexperienced young forward who in reality wont be able to make any difference on the field.
Wouldnt surprise me to see a sub 8000 gate on Saturday

if you ask the guys on the Doncaster forum you will get a better idea.
Think he was good for them but it was Div 1 rugby not Championship

Ruan would be an extra body who maybe has a point to prove and would allow us to move Chamberlain into the centres.

I'm hoping for a decent turn out after that magnificent Wigan win. With Grix at least we've become more organised and shown some resilience in defence.

I'm quite looking forward to it!

The team deserve a good turn out after the Wigan performance. Humber Street Sesh will probably knock a few off the gate though.
