The Transfer Rumour Mill Thread

[LeytherRob]

 

Another one going, although i'm not sure how big a miss this one will be. His switch from wing to second row at Huddersfield seems to have put his career into a nosedive.

Disappointing in away but hopefully we still have Hallas and Flanagan next year for number 9 spot.

I'm hoping Sam Hallas goes with his business partner Steve Crossley.

So far this season, he's played as a  non-instinctive passer at hooker, scrum half, stand off and loose forward. He came from Leeds as a prop and, to be fair, he is a good prop.

I'd love to see Reiss Butterworth back, plus Ross Oakes, Matt Garside, Brandon Pickersgill and Elliot Hall.

The CEO has made a promising statement in tonight's local paper.

Hall shouldn't have gone. O ly yes word be Pickersgill but on defence I prefer Kear. Hallas? We haven't much money or choice to be honest.

He was immense and I mean different level in games for us. However that was one in 10. No word of a lie and I don't normally say this about players but I have literally said more than 3 times this year I forgot Murphy was playing. Like I've said when he wants he can be different level however twice a season doesn't suffice.

Keighley are definitely cashed up. Doyle’s taken a part-time offer which is one of the biggest part time deals in the championship. There had been some Fulltime interest from Leigh and one other but they’d have had to offer double to match Keighley’s offer and didn’t want to go that high.

Yeah. You can tell the guys with long SL experience. When he turns it on, he can be a game changer. But didn’t do it often enough.

I mean, obviously we said a company car was out of the question. Got to make it believable haha. Nah, he's going Keighley apparently.

I am intrigued by this.

Spending more than Featherstone? Saw off interest from Derek Beaumont?

On one player before any Super League players show interest and are signed?

How about the player spoke to friends, who had also been at Bradford, and liked what he heard?

How about the player,a hooker,feels he may develop under the coaching where the director of rugby is a former hooker?

Perhaps listening/watching interviews featuring Rhys Lovegrove/Andrew Henderson may inform you of the spend this year in contrast to a year or two ago.

Or listen to that well controlled head coach of Hunslet who reckons a million has been spent on the squad for this year,while he was on the radio.( Or perhaps not quite that quickly ) 

Not everyone lusts after money. Other considerations are available.

Anyway he will be allowed time to adapt to his new surroundings as he has received a 3 match ban tonight

Another one for the Keighley rumour mill. Will have a very good team next year if these all come off.

Same here to be honest, wouldn't be in my first 17 but would be a handy squad player

Don't often disagree with you Gubby, but I am on this occasion.

Don’t know if anyones put this on yet I meant to do it a couple of weeks ago but forgot. Saints are interested in taking Jack Walker who’s fell out with Leeds. 

[Phil W]

Doyle just confirmed as signed for Keighley, don't think that will go down well at Bulls.

Reis's Butterworth has already signed for the Dewsbury Rams for next season. Since Liam Finn took over as coach, he's been outstanding.
