I wouldn't trust Hally to sign his name.

I have joked for years about the quality of side we could put together from players we have "signed" but never played, until they appear these two are in that side in my mind. Sam Hoare was one of my favourites, pictured at the stadium with the kit on and then played the rest of the year for Halifax

The only way it can work for me at this late stage is that they'll partner up on one side and they already know each other very well

Oh no, my attendance at games is so important - they are coming for me again!!!!!

They have unleashed The Kitman!!!!!

PRAISE BE THE HOLY ONES - I repent!!!!!

Who is The Kitman?

If there was a guillotine emoji, I reckon you'd be a prime candidate for it, Steve!

I suspect the club will make an announcement in the next couple of days if either of the new guys aren't in the squad for Sunday.

Yes, as soon as I pressed the 'submit' button on that message I realised I might be being too optimistic!

Oh DM you sweet summer child they only announce things when they want you to spend money!

The Kit Man is Martin Rowlands so technically a club employee.

Got ya! Martin Rowlands used to be at the old 'fans forum' meetings. At that time, I believe he was working with the kids in the community leading up to the World Cup. I didn't know he was the kit man.

I'm actually a Sunday's child (born in winter). I'm supposed to be Blithe and Bonny - Happy and Pretty. I'm generally happy but Happy and Ugly would be a better fit!

No offence was meant DM

We'll see today if they are in the squad - my money is on no with a slight chance of Faraimo as at least he's still in the UK I believe.

I do agree with Jemmo that throwing them into playoff rugby could be a massive risk, destabilising the squad and we have no idea how they will perform and how they will sync up with the existing squad.

Again it does smack of trying to paper over the cracks last minute with some "big money" short-term fixes, rather than planning for the longterm at the start of the season, but what do I know I don't even go to the games

Fonua is in the squad

That's good news. Let's hope Faraimo makes it for next week.

That is indeed a good surprise.

Spot on DM. I would like to add that it would have been good to have finished in second place at least, thus securing a home advantage in the play offs and a decent attendance.

Cheers, Wilf.

By finishing second, you in effect buy yourself more lottery tickets, giving yourself a better chance.
