The Phantom Horseman Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Now confirmed by the club via Twitter. Bad news for us but not altogether surprising. Who fills his shoes though partnering Chisholm? McLelland probably favourite having played at Fax, but other options include recalling Watson Boas, promoting Punchard or Richardson, or seeing if Wakefield would let Ben Reynolds go out on loan again. Also the possibility of Bussey when he's fit again (though for me there are still question marks about him being asked to defend on the edge if he's going to play half back).

Private Baldrick Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 It would appear that the options are:- 1. Recall Boas. 2. Another loan signing, Reynolds for example. 3. Use DR. 4 Promote from within from the reserves. 5. Play a player out of position, i.e. Bussey when he is fit/not suspended. For me we have a player on the books that has gained valuable game time and has a point to prove whilst being away from the club. Option 1 is what I think we should be doing.

Steve Slater Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Can't see Wakefield releasing Reynolds for a full month while they are only 4 points off the drop? Boas was ok and is a good finisher but not the best as an organiser, though he might fit in well alongside Chisholm? Who would play down the right though, as both seem to prefer the left?

hrtbps Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 What with our recent £10k fine, recalling Boas or using our reserves looks to be a more likely scenario than getting someone in on loan.

He has played at half back for HKR but the general feeling seems to be that he's really a fullback or wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamescolin Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 With us having cover at fullback and wing it might have been a bit of foresight by the club to sig him as half back cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grinder Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I'd like to see Richardson given a chance, but suspect that this will be seen as too much of a risk. I'm not convinced by Watson, so I guess that will be someone to come in, on loan at a guess. I'm sure I'll think of something funny to say soon.

DR/Loan rules O.K. 1. We signed two PNG half backs, but they were a punt and didn't work out. 2. There is a shortage of quality half backs in SL, never mind the Championship. Unless you have the financial resources of Toronto, it's very hard to tie down a decent half back to a permanent Championship deal. There are about 150 quality players attached to SL clubs who are only going to get into their 1st team through injury or suspension. These guys...Briscoe, Holmes, Sutcliffe, Golding etc... would just be in the twilight zone if loans/DR didn't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamescolin Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I think the forward thinking of the powers that be are good. They seem to have their hands firmly on the steering wheel to take us in the right direction with the best outfit we can gather together. All the players that have played for us under whatever the system they have been signed have all given their best and should be congratulated for their efforts together with the coach for motivating them.
