Yeaman's been stealing a living for quite some time now. I'd release him.

Crookes I'd be tempted to keep for 12 months and see how we go. We have cover there.

In all honesty, I'd chuck Holdsworth out and get McGoldrick. He proved he had that bit of grunt, setup some great tries and didn't look clueless in the 20. He can also cover fullback. A good, old-fashioned RL player for me.

Holdsworth was always a last minute panic-signing when Chase and Prince fell through.

What a load of BS.

Holdsworth signed 6 weeks before the Prince deal was even mentioned. How many 'last minute, panic signings' are made 6 months before the start of the season?

Really? I was told Holdsworth was signed to play with Chase and a deal had been agreed in advance of the close of the 2012 season. And you are suggesting we replace DJ with a utility player who the team who finished with the wooden spoon have now deemed surplus to requirements?!

Wonder what footage the club will put on the website to gee us all up if Goldie did come back. Hopefully him cruising down the M62 on his big ass motorbike!

Shows how silly most fans are, they moan and moan at signings saying we aren't signing enough quality.... and then want McGoldrick back

And you clearly haven't been to many games this year.

Holdsworth has looked so far out of his depth, it was embarrassing. McGoldrick made a lot of people (myself included) sit up and change my opinion of him.

Rumours are next to go will be McDonnell, Watts and Westerman - we shall see

Watts and Westerman?? Highly doubt it - they just need telling to keep out of the pub

Of course, you'll have proof of this, won't you.

If McDonnell is injured and wont be playing start of season, hes only got 1 year left and I cant see Shaul been moved from FB now can you? so is there any point keeping SM? Horne or Whiting can replace him if he gets injured! Just a thought. Don't want to mess around putting them in different places, stick at where their position is meant to be.

I wouldn't have Goldie back now but he did more in his few games to influence our play when signed than either of the current halves did last year with the possible exception of DJ at Hudds v Wire where he won the game for us. Goldie was absolutely battered when he signed the year before last prior to playing a game but categorically stuffed the criticism down certain people's throats with his return on the field. No world beater by any means but his attitude was spot on despite it being the biggest seed of doubt pedalled by those predicting his demise prior to him playing a game.

I though McGoldrick did well when he came! He created a few good tries!

Heard a rumour Johnson was only released to make way for a BIG player
