RogerT Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 As I mentioned previously there are 3 players that needed signing on, they where/are Patch Walker, Danny Cowling and Alex Bretherton. Well part of my list as come to fruition with Patch Walker signing on, now for the other 2. I would also love to see Johnny Campbell back at the Mount. Cheers Roger.

Piggy's mate Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Great as he is can Bretherton do another season? I don't think he will Touch Rugby W(h)inger and part-time Super Hero (Thursday mornings by appointment) BATLEY BULLDOGS RLFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9' oller Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Brev still looks agile and hungry. Whether his family still accommodate his career in the boots we shall see. He's been a valuable cog this year but I guess it depends if he still cuts the mustard next term 'Shaw cross juniors, Birkenshaw, Mirfield, Heckmondwike Panthers, Stainland Stags and then the Heavy woolen donkeys...

doggystyle Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Hayward leaving seemed inevitable. He's just not big enough at our level. Good luck to the lad, maybe bulk up and come back stronger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phildog Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Let's look at the 2017 squad; Squires, Hallett and Haward gone, O'Sullivan and Hill out on loan, so we're 5 down. (We don't have a great record on recalling loanees). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phildog Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Apologies for mixing my loan and DR...end result is they weren't here, until Brad got called in for Sunday. I was trying to make the point that we are light on our original 25 man squad. We took chances on a few flyers this time, 2 of which have actually featured less times than fingers of one hand, one who didn't have the temperament, 3 'season-long' loans which got rained on. No doubt there will be a couple who no longer fit into Disken's plans, one might call it a day. 2018's recruitment needs bloke's who will hit the ground running and put us back into the 'contender' category. That means recruiting from above, not below again. IF, IF, we again fall into a DR, make it watertight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piggy's mate Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Although most signed two year deals till end of 2018 season the only one I'm confident of turning up next season is Patch who signed for 2018 last week!!

RogerT Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 Hi there gang, that's why I only have put Patch Walker on my new Matrix for the 2018 Player Stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phildog Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Heart tells me that there could be changes at 5,6, turn round in props and one or two higher squad numbers. Don't see the whole squad staying allowing for some newcomers who will have been identified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batley Bob Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 League Express today , says we are in talks with Jason Crookes and Danny Cowling about new contracts and Danny Bravo will be given the chance to earn another contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phildog Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Cowling and Bravo yes, as I said before Hill and O'sullivan deserve another chance. Crookes always did well against us and don't reckon he's shirked owt since coming. We love all our players but can we use them ALL again yet improve? Sadly I think not and even though nearly all are contracted I think there will be an exit or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogstew Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 We'd be better off with a decent coach. This season's opportunity wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernieone Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Lets stick with the coach we have got and look at at least 5 new players including a centre, winger, half back and a prop (or maybe two props). Preferably some backs with a bit of speed. 1950s Gallant Youth, 2000 Bulldog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
