He is a fireman at Featherstone so i would imagine he would have to pack that in IF he does go to Wakefield. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashing bloke but sadly that's not enough on the field,i hope he goes well at Sheffield if it's true. We need some younger forwards now, McDermott's idea of Dad's Army was never going to work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a couple of games where played very well(one of them was at Sheffield) but his season was punctuated by injury and some ordinary performances especially defensively. Agree we need to get younger overall in the forwards, that said we got a lot more out of the 36-year-old Moors than we did out of the 32-year-old Sene-Lefao this season. It looks like we are judging each player on his merits which is fine by me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still early days. Our first new signing announced last year was Pickersgill on 18th October. Then Morgan Smith and Ben Hellewell a few days later, and that took us to 16 players signed. We're already at 18 so we're ahead of where we tend to be in terms of numbers at this time of year. Even leavers/resignings can sometimes drag on, Lockwood and Bussey were only announced in November last year. It wouldn't make business sense to announce all new signings at once, it's far better to announce them gradually to keep interest alive especially in terms of season ticket sales. Moreover each year a lot of our signings tend to be made in December/January...a lot of players become available around those times as other deals fall into place, both here and in Australia, look at Leigh's team last season. In recent years we have unveiled Moors, Cam King, Kopczak, and Jacks in January. Plus there's the World Cup which you'd like to think we'll be keeping an eye on (along with every other team of course). So if previous years are anything to go by we will announce a few new signings/re-signings/departures in the next few weeks, and then maybe the odd one here and there in December and January.

If it’s stone from Leigh I’m sure I’ve seen he’s signed with nrl side Melbourne storm if we have got him I’d be very happy with it tho Le Cam ? Never heard of him gigot - good player but is he what we need with Ford being off the cuff I feel like we need a steady organising half back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeymagic22 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Chris Hankinson is a decent signing, had a good season for Toulouse in SL last year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Horseman Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) Hankinson was Toulouse's player of the season in 2022. That's a decent signing. I know we seem to be signing a lot of ex-Toulouse players but most of them are very good! https://treizemondial.fr/chris-hankinson-elu-meilleur-joueur-du-toulouse-olympique-en-2022/ Google translation: Arrived this season at Toulouse Olympique, Chris Hankinson was elected the best player of his team in 2022. 25 games played for 5 tries scored but also 20 assists. Added to that he landed 63 kicks for just 14 misses. The English center was an essential pawn in the race to maintain Toulouse Olympique and he even helped out several times in the halves when he was short of people. His efforts will not have been enough since the TO XIII falls back to the Championship only 1 year after obtaining his promotion to the Super League.
