We only need him for a fortnight  N fordy will be back by then

i wonder if Nick Rawsthorne has been tempted back as he isn't in Fax's plans, he had a couple of spells on loan with the Knights a few years ago and has abit of SL experience, might be ok short term to boost the numbers and at least he isn't still at school.

Better off without him. He was dire yesterday for Swinton, unfit and overweight, he struggled.

Agent Ellis doing his thing.

See we've swapped Bassy for Glover, seems a bizarre piece of business?

[Cam varley]

Very odd. Personally never rated bass when he was at York and in my opinion he was of the main reasons why we beat Sheffield in the cup this year.

[spanishknight]

Hasn't Bass been on loan at a league one club, weird move.

[Cam varley]

Yep midlands and skolars.Also just seen that no recall clause and can be played against parent club 

[rich f]

I can't understand this Bass /Glover move. The only thing I can think of is that Sheffield wanted Glover, we wanted a fee and got Bass back instead. There's no way Hendersons gone out to get Bass and decided Glover is surplus to requirements. Very odd. Leaves us desperately short at centre again.

[Puk]

Strange one always rated Glover and will be a big loss and can kick goals that only leaves Harrison and Harris who aren't regular kickers unless Ellis is coming back to the knights.

Looks like Bass will be in the centres

Not sure he's as good as Glover and does pick up a few injuries when he was with the knights last time.

Wow. Just watched that. He looks absolutely gutted. Really can't see the logic behind this at all. Hendos biggest call to date, hope it doesn't come back and bite him.

Toby Warren on loan to end of season, welcome back Toby.

Up dated.

[Expatknight]

with the two loan signings that gives us 9 players of the fit squad who are 21 or younger, I am sure there is a good reason for this but I think we are getting a bit light on experience, I can't see the logic unless they are part of a long term plan, it is unlikely Toby will stay beyond his loan period as he is under a 4 year contract at Leeds.

I am sure the boys will try their best as all our younger players have this season but there is no substitute for  experience when the going gets tough.

At this stage of the season, I would rather loan in 2 young players who will be keen to make an impression rather than 2 journeymen who might only go through the motions and take the money. Leave that option to Bradford.

I agree the two loanees will be keen to impress especially Toby who will want to show how much he has improved.

Also who is actually available to compliment the squad on the market?

We needed a hooker as cover now Josh is injured so will give us more depth there I think it’s a positive move.

[spanishknight]

If Taylor is as good as Aaron Smith who we had on loan from Saints a couple of years ago, I'll be happy.
