It's very, very, very quiet Roger!!

[RogerT 1,250]

Correct until the club release any information or Bissa it will stay that way, Iro who does a lot of the spade work is away on holiday.

[phildog 669]

Ok Bruce and Senior selected v Toulouse...does this mean, as they aren't listed as T.Rialist or Sam Ogden Else,  that they are Batley registered players and does it signify that they have been signed on short term contracts for the rest of 2019 or on ongoing contracts into 2020? As I said elsewhere...wheedling out information.

[RogerT 1,250]

If I have read it correctly they have been here all season under tuition and on trialist forms, hence I think I have five amateurs training with us on the 2019 players signed on list.

[phildog 669]

Yes Rog, have seen them in kit at games, didn't know how they fitted in the the official RL roster. Can they play on Trialist forms, although I think I have seen that they are now signed??

[phildog 669]

It appears you won't be adding the name of Paul Brearley who has gone to Halifax (even though the picture used was of Jack Downs!).

[RogerT 1,250]

Where does it say he as.

[RogerT 1,250]

As I understand it anybody who is on trialists forms can then be signed onto the playing register for this season on professional terms as one of the higher up teams did to get a player onto their books, in Archie's case it was a pre-curser to next season.

on the Halifax forum they say its in the press...not sure which paper....

has he gone up in the world or sideways...?

Jouffret and Brearley...that's 19 tries down already for next season...

[RogerT 1,250]

League Express only saying that they are the leaders at trying to get him followed by Batley and Widnes.

[9' oller 1,079]

I'm not sure if a possible 50% change in personnel would be a good thing or bad thing

[phildog 669]

9Oller, depends on who the 50%' are in either direction!!

[phildog 669]

Facebook RL post...

[phildog 669]

Jovi T rumoured staying.

[RogerT 1,250]

Taira I presume.

[Piggy's mate 2,762]

Now I get it.. I thought we'd signed some Bon Jovii tribute act

Figures it's like the retirement home for Batley & Dewsbury OAP (Old Age Players)

[ernieone 853]

Can add Luke Walshaw to your list.
