Either we are only making one more signing, or whoever posted it has absolutely no idea what penultimate means.

Plus the fact I already thought Blake had signed.

All very odd.

[Gary Coyle]

LOL, Maxey seems to make it up as he goes along

[Lone Drinker]

I'm assuming it's a balls up.

[distantdog]

I think it also deserved a bit of a better write up. It is almost as if it was done while waiting for a taxi to go out! Goes back to the image of our club that our website portrays!

[Piggy's mate]

Yeah naf just about sums it up which is a shame coz Blakes not a bad player to have in the team

I'd have him back at rams,good player.

I guess you'd have to assume that there's only one more signing to announce. You'd have to, given that there hasn't been a rush to change the official website.

If it is the case, my season ticket won't be getting renewed.

[Keep The Faith]

Seems if thats the case only 19 players..

Penultimate derives from 2 Latin words, penis and ultimare. It means if you make a cock up of this you get one more go!

And ernieone wont be happy theyre still using that silly image of the charabang to represent the supporters club

[RogerT]

Could it possibly mean that there is one more to come outside of the 2/3 rumoured to be coming from other clubs but still playing games.

 

As stated somewhere we will not name them whilst their club is still playing.

 

Cheers Roger.

 

On second thoughts I wonder if it's the penultimate signing of our currant squad.

This was one of the items raised a few weeks back when the Chairman asked for ideas to improve things.

[RogerT]

Thanks for that, I had taken my eyes off the ball with concentrating just on us.

 

Cheers Roger.

Rest easy folks the Title as been changed to Further Signing.

 

PHEW.

[phildog]

But where are the rest of the exciting signings that JK mentions? If we don't make announcements until the players' current seasons are over, then that must mean that all our incomers are from Fev/Broncos/Rhinos/Wigan/Giants and Saints, cos they're the only teams left playing!! Don't drip feed. let's have the banquet.

[Chairman LMAO]

I think most people are aware that it's likely that the bulk of our new signings are going to be coming in from Sheffield Eagles.  All the rest is probably just smoke and mirrors.

Rumours that Keiron Hyde may be joining you.

 

Excited?

[TheTerminator]

Rumours that Keiron Hyde may be joining you.

Excited?

I'd be happy to see him come in as back-up for the half-back roles. I really don't think he'd be a first choice given the names that have been mooted.

To be honest, I've always considered him a reasonable player who isn't a stand-out by any means but can 'do a job' if called upon. However, I've got to admit that I was a bit taken aback by his apparent lack of physical fitness when I attended one of your games this season. He was definitely carrying a bit of timber and struggled to keep pace with the game from full-back.

In short; no, I'm not 'excited' by this rumour. On the flip side, the prospect of Kieran Hyde as back-up is probably far less horrifying than the thought of having to suffer through another season of Jason Crookes.

Is he related to Kieran Hyde?

[Blind side johnny]

Is he related to Kieran Hyde?

 

 

Yes. He's his mis-typed twin.

I was speaking to kieran and he said nothing has been sorted but he seems to know he's physical fitness is one key area to work to find a decent club for 2016.

If he did come and found his fitness and learnt under our half backs he isn't a bad player from what i'v seen in his bulls & wakey days.. So who knows strength in depth will help in 2016 tom as is something we'v lacked in a few seasons

Hasn't looked fit this season, but last year he scored some good tries, and always seemed to be the one who got back to make the important tackles - he saved a fair few long range tries. I always liked him, and I'm sorry he hasn't been retained rather than Crookes as a utility player. If he gets a good pre season, I reckon he'll make your first team squad most weeks.
