I wouldn't expect us to make many signings. I get the feeling the DoR leaving is because efforts to bring players in this week have fallen away.

I was told months ago he had no clue what he was doing, by a few people. One person suggest Karl Harrison would become DoR after he took on that ambassador role (does that still exist? Genuine question I don't know). And there was suggestions when Pickersgill came in (I think) that Ian Croad was back involved in an unofficial capacity.


Since the takeover, by well meaning people, the club has gone backwards. Probably due to the state of things when they came in and then the wider decline of championship RL in general. I've followed the club for a long time now but I can't remember things been this pessimistic in a long long time

Frankly I'm not sure what to say about this, could have one eye on next year with JK moving on and from what little I've seen and know about him he's obviously had a good pedigree back ground at Leeds and could be a real prospect.

However regarding the rest of this season and the immediate concerns and with just letting a prop leave I really do hope there is a plan B to just trying and failing to get Ronan Dixon in early from Dewsbury as to sign a half back when we've just lost a middle is a bit of a head scratcher.

Aye, a tad bemusing is this one, Finn must have his reasons though. Elland Craft & Tap. Wensleydale Gamekeeper 4.3% Mmm!

What a strange season, watched Kai Morgan last yesr against Wakefield away in a preseason friendly and thought he looked spritely and had some potential and thought he would be on board as a sub for Keyes , next minute he signs for Salford and we splash out on widdop . We are now in need of a prop and sign him in probably our most stacked position. Anyway enough of the moaning the pounds are piling on I’m off for a Big Mac and fries to start the diet .

Well it looks very unlikely it’s for next year like I originally suggested to try and make any sense of it as Salford have just extended his contract for another year.

Release a prop and a couple of days later bring a half in on loan when we already have 3 and trying to accommodate them when there all fit beggars the spine up.

Anybody got any idea what’s going on these days because I certainly haven’t.

Re: Squad 2024 : Fri Aug 02, 2024 7:10 am  

I could be wrong but prior to signing with us on loan I think Kai Morgan signed an extension at Salford. So think no matter what happens this is a short term thing.

Re: Squad 2024 : Fri Aug 02, 2024 7:50 am  

Agree with what's been said, almost sounds like desperation to just bring any player in.....unless at the last minute we release JK to the Bulls early today. It seems we are going to rely on being able to draw on DR from Leeds. Bearing in mind they have just loaned Ruan out to Hull now, then if they any injuries now at back end of season, they will be less inclined to supply.
