Same place that said Danny ward was taking over from fordy 

[spanishknight]

James Glover a centre has signed from Sheffield Eagles.

[BridKnight]

Another excellent signing.  Backs looking very strong now with threats right across the park.  Just need a couple more big forwards to help punch holes in the opposition and create some space.  But then what do I know!

[spanishknight]

Think the backs look much better than last season, much faster and the average age has dropped, defence will be better which is a good thing, 16 players signed on upto now think we need about 10 more, 6 or 7 forwards I reckon.

[BridKnight]

Yep - about right there SK.  Thought we had more than 7 forwards signed to date.  Fingers crossed for further news very soon!

You scoff... 

Flatman didn't wanna blow anymore money than he had paying ford's contract off

 

500k was quite enough for one season

Why do you think all the big rollers are retiring

Cut the wage bill.. Do the mathematics

3 of your players were more than our entire wage bill

Ask to see the books

Still would like to see another half back,can't go with just 2 like last season and maybe another winger,don't know if Dixon has been offered a contract for next season and he can kick goals as well

Towes is a winger, think we need at least 3 or 4 props same with backrow forwards and 2 or 3 backs.

[Wiggyroad]

I think overall we need to learn lessons from last season.We need the balance of youth and experience. 

I take what Coolie says with a pinch of salt,but he is probably right that last years squad with the ex super league players in it would have been on good contract plus paying out extra for a lot of loan players.

The way the squad is been pieced together so far I think they are been alot more cautious about having a squad of ex super league and focusing more on championship experience.I think we need to see who is retained really,but we will need experienced players to keep us in with a chance of a top 6 place

Has Porter re-signed?.

[Fenton Knight]

Not seen anything on Joe. Just hope he’s on the way to recovery following his knee injury.

He played for Sheffield so the only way is up after last seasons league tables, I'd be excited if I'd played under Tubby then going to play under Ford.. Going from playing in a borrowed stadium hitching up your caravan every 2 weeks to playing at your gaff... So he's excited is he

[coolie]

Hope with the Paulie Paulie signing your not falling into last seasons trap
