RogerT Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Now we are in the dead season what rumours are people hearing regards leavers, stayers, or Bulldog inbound, or players you would like to see playing up at the Mount. Leavers, Campbell, Hirst, Reilly, Hodson, McGowan. Like to see, McGowan, Meadows, White, Manning, Walshaw, Ward, Flynn, Morton, Buchanon, Kear, Kibula.

distantdog Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I hope Leak and Burton get a chance to become our first time hooking pair. Also, just to be controversial, l hope Woods gets a chance to play his own game rather than be considered a like for like replacement for Gilmore, which he never was. Also, some pace in the backs - especially on the wing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toffeedog Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Pace is a must and if Riley leaves need 3 more younger fowards as brown and gledhill now coming to a time were injurys and age now starting to take its toll on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weaklink though 'Shaw cross juniors, Birkenshaw, Mirfield, Heckmondwike Panthers, Stainland Stags and then the Heavy woolen donkeys...

During that run of tough close wins earlier in the season Woods was outstanding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phildog Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Rourke was in my mind in case we don't get Aiden back, it's filling one gap left open last season. Agree with Burton now getting a regular spot. Also Bennion or Brogan from Swinton. We need another prop along the lines of Alex Rowe, a line buster. Doubt there's any argument about Reilly going but can't see any other club getting more out of him. Tubbs obviously thought the same when he let him come! When Kear brought Gledhill back from Oz as a goal-kicking 2nd rower can't believe he was young enough to only be 29 now! Thing is, injuries are starting to worry a few regardless of age. Wing....Boafo? Any Cas lads needing a home? Langtree fine 2nd rower....let's see (quickly) who have been on Mokko's back to come here and who's coming in. Woods; watched an old game v Thunder when he ran at us and made stuff happen, hasn't done anything other than drop off passes, no regular 40/20 efforts on his own pitch, never nipped through a line. Maybe a new game plan required? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard we made him an offer, but he had been offered more money by Keighley and was likely to sign for them. However, that was before Keighley were relegated.
