Hopefully a bit of biff is added, the pack looked very passive last year especially without Suffolk. Bridge was good but can seem a bit attack biased and a bit of a passenger at times. A dominant 7 is a must.

youve got a good one in Corey Lee, former saints and England academy junior, been impressed watching him at Leigh in the reserves and really stood out on his debut in a friendly against North Wales earlier this year scoring a hat trick, with one of his tries a 80m length try, Very fast lad

Ladies & gentlemen the wise one has spoken , and who am I to disagree with this insightful and well written post.

I also cannot understand why anyone would want to sigh at Rochdale Hornets !

Hope you are more accurate with your Mayfield predictions .

Can't understand why you would sign at hornets for 125 a win with no signing on money

And have to train in Warrington after tax and fuel your playing for next to nowt

Is that better

If that's the case it may well result in any local lads finding it difficult and possibly not worth it. The two possible signings from Mayfield come to mind.

On another subject all the best to Mayfield in their semi final play off game on Saturday at Leigh Miners. They have had a fabulous season playing some outstanding attacking rugby ending up as the leading points scorer. It demonstrates Matt Callands attitude to the game by playing attractive rugby. I just wish that he had got the Hornets job and worked his magic there. We could then have possibly have had a dual registration type of link up with Mayfield utilising local talent which is coming through at under 18 level.

Ah well we can only dream as to what might have been.

Rochdale Hornets have signed Six foot seven inch, twenty stone prop forward Samir Tahraoui from Bradford Bulls.
 

With pre-season starting next week, the squad is nearing finalisation but one Hornet who won't be returning in 2016 is second rower Danny Bridge, with the Irish international set to take up a contract offer from Redcliffe Dolphins in Australia.
 

Stand off Ryan Smith has also been released, along with centre Dave Hull and prop forward Liam Gilchrist.

Is there any truth in the rumour danny bridge has signed for the cru

 

He was originally going to France, but the deal fell through, so now opted for Australia. Never heard any rumours about Cru.

 

 

He's posted on Twitter (Hornets Twitter Feed) that he is going to Oz.

 

Best of luck Danny boy.

Harry Files is indeed the Brother of Oldhams hooker Adam Files.

Harry was Salford 19s captain, player of the year and players player of the year in 2014, he resigned for them for 2015 with the assurance he would be loaned out as he was too old to play 19s. No loan club was found so he asked to be released from his contract and returned to his amateur club to play, a great prospect.

Good luck with Big Samir from Bradford Dulls , he may look the part but is very indisciplined , orften lashing out in the tackle which usually makes him a target.

Although we saw flashes of brilliance this last season with him he doesn't seem to ' Run his weight' and generally gets tackled very easily.

Saying all that he can be quite deadly close to the line on the run in.

I genuinely hope he does well for you just not when you play us :-D

That was very apparent when we played Keighley.

He did not like being tackled. Going to be a liability me thinks.
