RogerT 1,284 Report post Posted September 18, 2020 Where it says" so we think it's time for a bulldog inbound", to me that suggests the player as been signed on earlier in the week and released now to boost the half time draw, or is it the sceptic in me. Either way good news and let's have some more. Phildog in says inbound not a resigning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
distantdog 2,040 Report post Posted September 18, 2020 Thanks Roger. I suspect that they will already know everyonewho has signed. We have discussed the idea of tactical signing announcements to boost the half time draw, I think it is a good idea. Anyway, looking forward to finding out who it is! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phildog 677 Report post Posted September 18, 2020 Knew it said Inbound, was merely thinking Rams as in the comment previous. Response to this news is 'oh'. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bromleybulldog 448 Report post Posted September 18, 2020 His last club was Workington not Coventry. Video highlights look good but then again they always do! Still need two half backs...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DOGFATHER 1,198 Report post Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) Why do you say that Rog? He was at Workington last year. http://www.itsrugby.co.uk/players/elliot-hall-42590.html His try scoring rate is phenomenal, 25 tries in 34 appearances. He could just be the tackle buster we needed. He comes across as a decent lad too, and certainly no mug. The Town fans certainly seem upset he has left.

He has pace, strength and knows how to find the try line, good defensively as well. Obviously a step up for him but I’m sure he will prove to be a good signing for you. Really gutted he couldn’t find employment up here but best wishes to the lad hope it goes well for him and your club. 4 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DOGFATHER 1,198 Report post Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) I wonder if this spells the end for Hooley? Both Hall and Campbell are well versed at fb, I believe Morton has also played there a bit too. Which seems to leave Hooley surplus to requirements.

Perhaps if we sign a recognised 7 & White, we'll have cover/competition from Hooley for 7 and fullback?
