2019 signings

[DavidM]

I know they’ve signed Halafihi , the hooker from Bulls . Their website has Jack Lee and Ryan Wright , Wright was one casualty of the keighley debacle I believe 

[IanMac]

Lee is contracted to Hunslet for 2019, good player but can’t see us getting him. If true, would seem that it’s more likely to be Wright, know nothing about him, would far prefer Newts being signed back on but that seems to be unlikely from everything that’s been said.

[homeandawayer]

He's contracted as well.

[IanMac]

Looking at the squad details on the town website, although there are 4 still unsigned on the list, Scott Akehurst has recently been removed so I take it he won’t be part of the squad next season.

When are our signings coming in this week

[LancashireTown]

Our social media has been fantastic this year, but always seem let down with news and co-operation with fans on news like this. Hope it’s soon, I’m excited. 

Just a tweet saying “signing announced Thursday 5pm” goes along way and gets people interested.

I'm sure they do that before signing. I never feel let down with with news. We have real quality social media compared to other clubs. Our website has improved unbelievably. Talked to someone involved at the club and they said players are signed but they await paperwork being sorted which means they can then announce

Surely it doesnt take that long to register a player, it seems like weeks since OW was announced other clubs seem to manage fine within a few days unless of course its overseas players but they obviously come with extra cost.

Maybe they drip feed info to maximise exposure like any clued up business would.

There’s been years when players were still coming in in January so yes I’d say it’s desirable but definitely isn’t essential.

Do you sign a player because he’s right for what you want or do you just sign him to bolster numbers?

You said about drip feeding info meaning the club had players signed but not publicly released. what you stating now is completely different circumstances.

If we have any more players signed on I'd have thought we could have announced one towards the end of the early bird season ticket offer to try and convince any stragglers to purchase one?

If there signed they would be announced and at preseason training no matter what you say. 

I do believe there are players that have possibly agreed terms or trying to but havnt actually signed yet.

Maybe some news tomorrow.

That's fair enough for the future but what about now, who else we got for this season?
