That's good news - anything on the forward situation?

I havnt heard anything other than the possibility of a young forward we had on loan last season returning.

[jroyales]

Anything is better than nowt. But we need experienced, nasty props not youngsters learning their trade. We fell into that trap last season, and I couldn't cope after 62 years with yet another one.

[ManchesterYed]

With two experience props like moi moi we compete at the top end of this division, if not we are fighting to get in the play offs. Mr.Hamilton will do the right thing

Great Christmas present. Every Fiji I've seen over the years, thinking about Rochdale, they've always been something special. Well done to the club - things are looking really positive.

[fiftiesremembered]

Great signing.Now we are talking positive vibes for the season.Players like this are essential to help bring the youngsters on - and give the halves a chance.

[ManchesterYed]

Great signing, well done Mr H. One more experienced prop and we are in the mix 

[parigby]

Maybe there will be a like New Years Day present. Here's hoping.

[Tony Mac]

Think this is a very astute signing as he will give us some nastiness in the pack. One more like him and we could do some damage this year

I'll start the new year off.

All the best for 2023 to all posters and readers, including all Hornets fans.

Has anyone got any further news about any signings?

I believe another experienced prop forward will join the club and be the final piece in the jigsaw

is he a straight edge, corner piece or one with bobbles on all four sides?

Really impressed with the recruitment so far this year but feel we are two or three still short. 
 

I see Rupert Worrincey as signed for hunslet parkside and Brett Forris for Doncaster, concerning

That's a shame. Good luck to the lad. I feel that we're pretty short up front now- even more than has been suggested.

Yes I think we were probably a prop or 2 short already....
