They've signed him on loan until the end of the season.

On the production of halves, it's an issue throughout the game. Phil Gould was talking about setting up a specialist academy in Australia to try to produce more halves. The half back positions requires a level of technical coaching, and an amount of time that I'm not sure most juniors have access to. But perhaps some coaches on here could shed some light on it.

Think we can all agree there is a gap in all RL clubs to have a specialist HB coach.

Sounds very basic but a coach who only coaches HBs how to HB.

Well I know the update came late, changed my plans and couldn’t meet up till today.
All quiet on the halfback front and very hush hush apparently so absolutely no idea what’s going on there, he seems to think it’s already sorted.
Prop wise, three names: Sione Fainu, Ryan Sutton and Luke Thompson.

Full back so far the names are Jack Walker, Staines and Bailey Hodgson.

Centre the names are: Martin possibly staying as a centre and a big push for Wade Graham, that’s all I got. But what he did say it that there is a lot of goings on and it will be hot this week.

Thompson is staying in the NRL, so it won't be him.

Shame,he would be a good signing

Sutton and Hodgson would make make sence, both non quota

Wade Graham? Isn't he water carrier now? A yesterday's nearly man.

And I understand Jack Walker may have copped another injury at end of derby today.

Bringing Jack walker back sounds very odd to me, why sign Hooley and send Walker to Bradford to then bring him back in?

Hoping Sharky’s mate is more out of the loop than usual.
