Good signing, heard really good things about him from Siddal and its not a bad idea to have another local lad in the squad. His chances are going to be few and far between so he probably knows the work that is ahead of him to get the coaching staff thinking so he is obviously backing himself and it never hurts to have someone in the suad who is willing to work that hard.
Of the signings mentioned above the only one Ive not really heard anything concrete about is Douglas but having watched him in the play off games he looks to have improved massively since he left us and he looks like a player that you really want on your team the grit he showed limping his way through the Keighley game while still been one of the best on the pitch.
