I agree, but until we get one or two more players into the Club, there's little room for manoeuver if we get injuries and not too much competition for the bench.

We need a 25 man squad for me , if we havent big money to spend we will have to stick to the budget. I am sure the budget should cover 25 players who will be pushing for a first team place.

You never know our scouting system may come up with a Gayle,Wood or another Briggs.


We need a scrum half soon .

Yes, top priority a No7.

That team for me looks a lot weaker than last seasons team that just finished 4th in nat league 2. I am really worried about are chances this season and without the addition of another 4-5 players, i really carnt see us winning a game this season.

Cheer up.
Not one game?
Surely not?
I personally think that last season's side would have done OK in NL1.
The standard is not fantastic in NL1.
I am not feeling all gloom and doom in the slightest.
I will wait to see how we play and take it from there.
Why shouldn't we be able to compete?

I think that the team we already have will be more successful than the ''superstars'' we had in the Lakers, for the simple reason that they are here to play, not to get rich at some mug's expense ! Come On You Dons. and thanks to Dave and the team for keeping it real.

I really hope your right but we have lost out 4 best players from last season ( cory,zeb,gale and wood) and not replaced them with anywhere near the same quailty so think we will struggle big time. If you look at teams like widnes,halifax,leigh,whitehaven then batley sheffield,fev,barrow have all strengthen alot then toulouse are the unknown and it leaves us and gateshead so i think at this stage with this squad we look very thredbare and weak in key areas.

I can confirm that Castle has signed for next year,

Mark Castle signing confirmed at fans forum by Tony Miller.

Added to main list.

A report in League Weekly today quotes Carl Hall as stating that the Club has 22 players on board currently with three more signings required.

On that basis, there are still a number of names (four if I'm correct) yet to be officially unveiled by the Club.

Talking to Carl today, it seems he has been slightly misquoted.

In reality a number of the 22+ players training currently are still on trial hence no official announcements from the Club.

Those travelling to Featherstone on Sunday should get to see those players still on trial in action.

Jake Bassinder confirmed as a signing (in the Free Press).

Anyone know if Andy Speake is officially back in our squad?

It came as a surprise to see him yesterday.
A nice surprise.
