When did we last sign 4 players on ? (First grade players)


Your talking of promoting players that have not played a single game of super league.

I can understand maybe replacing Mose with Sav as Andre as shown he can play at super league level but to replace jones with Ashworth in my humble opinion would make us a weaker team.

Next you'll be saying let's replace all outgoing players with u19s like we did in past and half them kids not here now.

To be fair going into the 2014 didn't we sign Masoe, Walsh, Amor, Dawson and Beaumont? Granted Beaumont didn't play but he was a first team signing.

I think you know that I mean proper players. Unless you'd like us to replace outgoing players like mose, lance, Wello and possibly walsh and jones with mediocor injury prone players like Beaumont and Dawson.

I always liked Gaskell and thought he'd turn into a good halfback. Was a real shame it didn't work out with him here. Hope he does well!
How's Jamie Foster doing these days? Always liked him. Not because he was brilliant (although I never thought he was as bad as some made out) but I just liked the lad for some reason.

Whatever happened to Beaumont?

The last I heard Foster was scratching around looking for a rugby yawnion club. About his limit in my opinion. So you did not like Foster for his rugby ability could it have been his hair style perhaps?

I didn't know Josh Jones is leaving.

And I certainly don't want him to leave.

He isn't for certain; he just hasn't signed a new deal yet.

Was told by Saints he had a condition which meant he could train or play but not both, and thus retired. Then he signed for Leigh out of the blue and had preseason with them, before going AWOL (literally) and retired again I believe...

How strange. Oh well the RL life mustn't have been for him. Doesn't suit everyone so he's better off out while he's still young so he can go and find a different career route.
