We have signed Jack Coventry, who once was one of yours and at 28, perhaps he’s one of those elder statesmen, though probably not yet ready for a swan song!

Jack was only a baby when he played for us 6 games in two years, so he never had the chance to become one of our elder statesmen

Think Paul's his dad, maybe wrong though.

Still not seen any club confirmation that Davies has signed for us for next season.

Connor Davies would be good news.  liked the look of him last year and thought he looked good in a Wales side that was always under the cosh.

That’s no good, they don’t use Twitter and I am informed it hasn’t been found on that platform, nor is it on the club website or Instagram.
 

I wait to be corrected.

My take was that the deal was still to be confirmed.  Maybe interest from elsewhere following his World Cup exploits

Just going on what Liam said at the forum last week,he said our players had come back from the World Cup unscathed,Connor Davies name was mentioned. Maybe I’ve read too much into that.

Obvious choice since Ford left and Henderson took over, he'll develop more at York and we wish him well in his new appointment

 

No Lockwood either...

It's been really quiet regarding Locky, i wonder if he's staying at Fev now ? Still plenty of time for something to happen.

With a change of coach at Featherstone maybe Locky is looking for an opportunity there

They are building up a decent squad. C1 should be pretty competitive next year.

Hi all, i've heard  a rumour that Keenen Tomlinson is in pre-season training with us (Cougars). What's his best position and would he be a good addition?

Was OK but didn’t get a decent run.  Probably a second rower / centre ( as are all second rowers these days)

Can't say he cracked any pots last season but he seemed to be carrying a injury. Solid player who won't let you down. I'd play him 2nd row. Good luck Keenan.

Bench

In my younger days, pre summer rugby I was always a popular player off the bench, primarily because I'd warmed it up for the cold fella coming off the field ‍

[phildog]

Indigogo; Keenan's problem with being a 'utility' player is that he never got a regular game with us at Batley when he first showed. Always a bench man as a filler in, always 3rd choice 2nd row, damaging in the centre(where Lingard gave him the 4 shirt inntgevtrucated season to try and settle him) from a short distance as he's a powerful lad but after 25 yards his pace dies. Also filled in on the wing a few times as Rams fans will remember from his acrobatic try at Bash. If he's to go well for Cougars he'll need to be toughened up and given a run and good game time in the 2nd row. Also, and I think Rams fans would agree, he can go missing in action in patches. That said I did like the lad and his keenness. They say that certain players are a fit for certain clubs, we've had a few, this might be his.

A new signing to be announced tonight according to the club social media.

A half back would be nice.
