We had the chance to sign AOB while he were still at Bradford but it would have meant RM having to get rid of a couple of players. RM decided against it and the rest is history. He certainly seems to be missing a ruthless streak.

Rule one - Recruit players on contracts that will be financially ok for the club, throughout the whole length of the contract.
Rule two - Make sure that when you add the cost of all the contracts up you will have the ability to pay them.

There is no chance QLT will end up at Wakefield.

We have 3 good fullbacks and we have 0 quota spaces left.

If by some miracle we were to get rid of one of our quota players, such as Horo then we would be looking for an organizing half as Chester has already stated we were previously talking to a half based in Aus and are currently in talks with a half belived to be Ben Reynolds.

Does QLT take up a quota place?

I would have thought that, having played in the UK for so many years he would be off quota unless his time in Toronto resets his status.

We need some decent centres.

I am not particularly a Tyrer fan but for me he's had a good solid season. Butler the coaching staff may see as second row but he's a good Centre as well Charlie runic man and him cancelled each other out at wines. Then there is Woody mr versatile. Qlt for me would answer a multitude of problems with the space he creates for others. I wish we could have had him in for the widnes game ..it might have just swung the result.

Re: Player recruitment 2019 : Tue Sep 25, 2018 4:36 pm  

QLT would be a great signing on a few levels. A good player, he would make other players better and it would at last show a bit of ambition from the club, albeit he's not a spring chicken. The inability to improve attendances significantly must be very frustrating but as long as the club appear, rightly or wrongly, happy to just plod along things won't improve. Next season could be just the right time for Fax to kick on, extra funding from this season, LS28's great efforts and the new structure, let's hope that is exactly what we do. Up The Fax!

Heard Lee Smith has signed for Halifax. Was told to stay away from Bulls training recently. Gardening leave so to speak.

I hope not. I think he is past his sell by date and being politically correct he has seen an increase in size which has resulted in a loss of pace.

He wasn't that effective as a player this year. Agree with the putting on weight. We have missed his leadership tho.
