The Sam Day saga has been On Off, On, Off, On, Off Heard he didn't want to go in the championship due to work commitments, then I heard he did want to play next season, then I heard he wasn't going to play, then I heard he wanted to play but couldn't as he couldn't do training, then I heard Sam & Dale had worked out how he could play without training So looks like the Hokey Cokey currently stands at OUT rather than IN 2
Crown Flatter Posted November 7, 2023 Author Posted November 7, 2023 Paul Sykes goes again next season. 4 Legs, Dews, Legs.
Crown Flatter Posted November 10, 2023 Author Posted November 10, 2023 Prop Bailey Dawson is on board for 2024. The 21 year old hails from Hull and has played for HKR and Cas. Legs, Dews, Legs.

So which is the right info He might have got fed up playing halfback and fancied a change
STEVE P Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 Fergie's new signings seem to be youngsters of known ability who have yet to find their niche in the game. In going that route he is backing his own ability as a coach. Good for him. I prefer this to looking for players at the other end of their career who need a step down. Not counting the one we already have of course. He gives his all to the club. The squad is looking promising. Can't wait to see the rest of it. 3

Teams in the championship are going 1 of 2 ways in recruitment 1. Ship in a load of old men and buy success Or 2. Build a team for the next 2 seasons Is there a level of speculate to accumulate, banking on no relegation in 2025, where league 1 and the Championship merge. Dangerous game banking on that And does leave us wide open to failure if that merging doesn't happen Let's just finish 12th and avoid the relegation roller-coaster

Crown Flatter Posted November 21, 2023 Author Posted November 21, 2023 Connor Davies’ twin, Curtis, a hooker, has signed from Newcastle for 2024. 1 Legs, Dews, Legs.
Crown Flatter Posted November 22, 2023 Author Posted November 22, 2023 We have signed winger Travis Corion from Doncaster for next season. Legs, Dews, Legs.
Jemmo Posted November 23, 2023 Posted November 23, 2023 14 hours ago, Crown Flatter said: We have signed winger Travis Corion from Doncaster for next season. Travis was well liked by the Doncaster supporters. Didn't manage to get as much game time as he probably deserved but when he did play he never let us down, and scored some great tries. Think he is the kind of player that will thrive with regular starts 1 1
Crown Flatter Posted November 23, 2023 Author Posted November 23, 2023 If Corion is to tie down a regular wing spot, what then for Lewis Carr and Davey Dixon? I reckon Perry Whiteley will make the other wing his own. Who will be the regular centres? Legs, Dews, Legs.

Nowadays defensive skills are as important as speed for a winger so we need to see how they all perform first.
