So you're suggesting that the new owners should have stuck with last season's squad with a minimal amount of tweaking? No-one can argue with your point that doing so would have saved them a shed load

One thing about Astley is that he's never going to let us down.

Having only missed a few games in two years I can give you an honest assessment of all 4 players

 

Aaron brown you will be getting a small but very skilful loose forward if your playing an open brand of rugby he is like a third half bringing forwards onto the ball wider out however when we come up against the top half of the championship against powerful forward packs his size does get targeted in the middle a solid championship player none the less 

 

Danny craven if you get Danny on the pitch week in week out you have in my eyes one of the best halfs below super league even at his age his left boot is probably better than most in super league, his trade mark show and go will get you bags of tries, one of the best defensive halfs I’ve saw too! However his discipline can let him down he has had another injury troubled year and had 4 yellow cards within that, and of course the other thing is how many games he will actually play for you his injury record is pretty grim has terrible luck with his calf’s and fingers dislocating

 

Owen farnworth personally for me for what he was likely earning at widnes after having a full time contract only a few years ago I am not sad to see go probably the right time for club and player, the lad had aggression in abundance and is a ferocious tackler but for me is on the small side for a prop and again spends a lot of time sat in the stands likely because how he approaches the game against much bigger opponents having said this he will never let you down in effort and will look like Sam burgess in league one, has age on his side too but again if you get promoted next year which I’m sure you will against tougher opponents the injuries may strike

 

finally Adam Lawton! What a player for league one he seriously could break a record for tries scored for a forward in league one I have no doubt about that even at championship level he is so destructive near the opponents line, doesn’t miss many games has all the skill in the world as he started out as a stand off in his youth but for all this again at championship level his defence is very suspect, tries to over play at times when the game is slipping away which often makes things worse and again discipline in defence is a real issue infact his defence in general is pretty poor but despite the latter I think Adam’s strengths completely out weigh his weakness’s and his play going forward is really exciting and special out them all for me he’s the biggest loss.

 

I hope you read this and understand it’s a balanced opinion and for league 1 I think all will go extremely well however come to championship especially with Danny and Owen I question if the injury’s will strike again in much more physical week in week out battles

Good signing , wonder when they'll catch up with all the signings we've announced already on here 😄.
Be interesting if there's one or two that none of us on here catch wind of , but that's social media and the numerous press and web sites hard to keep much secret nowadays.

‘We’ve announced’ 🤣🤣🤣 Regurgitated press rumours more like. Great signing - a big step up from what we’ve had this season.

I see mention on Twatter that Wilkinson might be going keighley. Has there been any rumours for an incoming hooker half or fb?

Twatter ? Must be a new one. 

Wilkinson won our player of the year and is quality operator and will be of interest of several clubs no doubt, I believe he will of been on of the first signed up by the new board with no mention of him on the leaving list.

 

regarding Hirst I feel we will need much better quality for us to get out of this division and feel Baker would of been a better option. No doubt he will be a decent squad player.

I saw that on Twitter too. I've not heard his name mentioned at the Keighley end of things!
