2017 squad and rumour mill thread


buford t justice

Recommended Posts

Thought id start one off as silly season is upon us once more now the dust is settling on our season.

 

I understand the only ones leaving us from this years squad are Keegan Hirst, Alex Brown and James Craven with only Luke Blake and Chris Ulugia still to put pen to paper on a new deal - is this right?

 

Rumours are we have signed Joel Farrell from the Sheep, a centre from Swinton I forget the name of, Dominic Maloney coming back into the game after a spell out and a couple of youngsters following Diskin from Bradford.

 

Is the DR link up with Cas still going to be in place?

 

Will we run a second team?

 

Any advances on this info? 

What we're dealing with here is a complete lack of respect for the law

Danny williams wing from odsal.

Would like more cover for centres.

Wayne retties employment at tong high school in jeopardy due to the foundation being taken by an islamic faction. I hope this doesnt unsettle him too much and effect his ability to perform for the brass we offer

'Shaw cross juniors, Birkenshaw, Mirfield, Heckmondwike Panthers, Stainland Stags and then the Heavy woolen donkeys... WARDY, STOZZA, GT, KARL OR KEAR MUST OF DROPPED A DIGIT FROM MY MOBILE NUMBER! :clapping:

Thought Danny Williams had signed a new contract at Bulls?

I think he prefers to get paid!

 

 

What about the Bostock from Fev rumour (and no I'm not just starting it now) :hunter:

... a centre from Swinton I forget the name of...

Not sure if it's the same one as you're talking about btj, there seems to be quite a few rumours about Swinton players doing the rounds. The fullback and scrum half are two, and the other one I'd heard a few times from different people was Macauley Hallett who was previously with HKR.

Was talking to Hallet at Swintons presentation night and he said he had signed for you, cracking signing in my opinion

Thats the one. Looks a good signing by all accounts.

 

Anyone know if there's any truth in the Johnny Campbell returning to Batley rumour?

Did read in T&A that JC was on retained list but that was some time back, when Smith was sorting out his leavers but the situation may have changed. If he comes back there'll be some hassle with currently re-signed wingers snd fb!! I would have thought our efforts would have been for a forceful prop and if true where will we play Farrell? Wouldn't be top of my must have list.

Hooker or loose forward as it appears we haven't signed Blake and a good signing imo if he stops reacting to every little niggle!!

Is Micky Heywood with us next season? I was told he was brought in just for the Qualifiers as cover for Scott? He certainly looks the business from what I saw of him warming up at the Rhinos game!

I would be disappointed if we were to lose Blake. I think he has had an outstanding season!

 

I agree DD but I heard he could be retiring?
