He has left Fev so that would seem to suggest it could be likely.

Fev have said that they are going hybrid full time and that Pryce has a job outside rugby, hence the reason he’s leaving. Changes were always on the cards when Ford joined.

Yes it does make sense what they’re doing, new S&C coach may help improve fitness thought we ran out of a bit of steam in the last 10 minutes on Saturday.

shame to see it all falling apart at Keighley, got a real fight on their hands to avoid relegation now. Good pick up for Fax though, him and Adam O'Brien add some real quality going into the business end.

[The Blues Ox]

Keighley apparently have 5 signings to announce by the end of the day though. One is Cole Oakley going the other way from Fax on a 2 week loan deal.

PJ Lima has signed up for the TO first team, until the end of the season anyway

Crookes is a weird one, his strike rate is good but he literally cannot tackle his dinner and is often injured.

Depending on the replacement this could be a very good move for Keighley and maybe Fax play him on the wing?

Highly unlikely Fax have brought him in to play on the wing with the wingers we have. Any specialist centre for us though is a godsend and personally I think he is certainly an upgrade on not having a centre and his style of play should fit in very nicely with our backs.

Fax also released Nick Rawsthorne without playing a game so he can take up an opportunity with another team. Most presumed that was Keighley but not amongst the 5 they named.

The fact every club bar the Titans (who were awful themselves when he played there) ditched him as soon as they could and the fact he's only managed 87 1st team games in 10 years tells you everything you need to know about him.

Still 87 games more than a lot of players.

Another big wage out of the door at Cougar park. Been saying for weeks there are big problems down there. 

Do you remember earlier in the year  when you thought they would finish the season as the highest placed team with a BD post code? It was laughable back  then and even more so now.

And look which way both teams have gone since then. 

Enjoy the relegation battle. Im sure a 36 year old  and these 2 week loan signings will be just what you need to drag yourselves  out of it.......

You can say whatever you want, I’d rather go down than have Big Nige at the wheel, we both know you’ve no future with him in charge.

Brad Singleton to Salford? Rumour or true?

Don't know?

But he is the right type of player for Salford, loads of expierience at the top level on his day puts in a good shift, should imagine he won't cost the earth and still only 30 years old, and Rowley seems to get the best out of players others can't, Salford took a punt on another prop last year in 35 year old Adam Sidlow, no reason not to consider Singleton.

[kiggy]

Robin Brochon has signed up for the TO first team, another young French lad which is good news

Salford need a slow plodder who’s increasingly injury prone ?

I suppose he started young at Leeds but he’s the oldest looking 30 year old player I’ve seen. He’s never looked athletic but if you’d never watched him before and somebody told you he was 38/39 and ready for retirement, you wouldn’t bat an eyelid.

I will see your Brad Singleton and raise you another Leeds player Carl Ablett, I believe the players at Leeds called him 40/20 as he was only 20 years old but looked 40.

I mean as much in how he moves and not just his looks (although granted he’s not wearing well on that score for 30). Ablett gives him a good run for his money mind! 
 

The nickname reminds me of a woman at an old workplace that some people (not me obviously) used to call Kronenbourg, because from a distance she looked 16 but close up she looked 64.
