The fact we was considering Jared sammut means they maybe thinking of moving somebody on ... and the fact we have turned down dec Patton means we are looking for a decent player higher up the market although I would of said Patton may have been a short term fix untill Lewis gets more game time... any rumours on any more players coming in I’d be happy if we got that young half from Leeds him and Lewis in a few seasons would be a great half back pairing

And yet people were excited to see we'd signed Drinkwater just before last season. Strange how things work out.

We have 4 HBs in the club now (one of them a youngster). 1 yesr deals have a habit of players needing to play well to put them in the shop window as well (except Drinkwater).

Let's just see shall we....

I count 5 HB's for you...

Big Fat Jordan Abdull
Joey Keyes
Big Fat Jamie Ellis
Ryan Birerley
Mikey Lewis

Dagger and Minchella can also play in the halves can't they.

Am I alone in thinking ryan brierley is a good signing.?

I also think Brierley was worth signing he is a great support player with blistering pace and so is different to our other half backs.

Abdull will clearly take one of the half back positions and will guide the team and provide the kicking game. Brierley would offer a running game and might be a good partner. Everything depends on how they go in training.

Have said for years that I thought we needed a running half.Something we have lacked for a long time.Probably because being old and reminiscing too long about our glory years when we had Steve Hartley feeding off quality backs and tearing teams apart. Not saying that Brierley is the same, but his try tally is not bad,whether it will stand up in SL we will see, but would you prefer Drinkwater? Think we have made a decent fist of recruitment bearing in mind we were at the back end of the queue due to our SL status being uncertain. It is what it is but we seem to have better cover,and if,for once,we don,t get decimated by injuries,I think we will be ok,but one thing is certain, something had to change.Lets hope that this time it,s for the better.But re. Brierley, I think it,s a decent signing.
