The samir of the first 6/8 games was a beast one of the best props in the league, but he got injured and then seemed to loose interest, played the last few weeks and looks to be getting early season form back.Gary chambers said last season he needs a bit of a rocket now and again to keep him on his game

That's ok. We have a rocket launcher!

For Jimmy to get a close look at him he will need a step ladder. This was mentioned a couple of weeks ago and I agree that he does look massive and a little impressive. I would expect Jimmy to improve him - especially if his assistant is an ex forward who can train and push our pack to their best.

It does look like Jimmy has set his mind on a big tough pack.

Samir rumour updated on 2015 squad listing. Pack starting to have a good balance of defence and offence. Sidlow in the Lynch role, Samir the wrecking ball in bursts.

I first rumoured Samir a week or so ago because I was told by someone at Haven that he is likely to be coming to us. Also said that he doesn't have much 'heart' and that following his injury was making excuses for not playing, going against the doc and physio saying he wasn't 100%. Hope he just needs some decent training regimes and a good positive atmosphere around him.

Ainscough was also in discussions so that one may happen too.

Well, I've always been of the opinion that a strong pack is essential to make a top side. To quote the old adage - "It's the forwards who win games and backs just decide by how many".

Go for it Jimmy.

I know it's not been announced yet but Ryan Shaw has deffo signed a 1 year deal for you's. Ex England Under 18 Centre played for Warrington since 16, In first-team
squad for last 3 years. Good Prospect, shame Warrington never bloodied him this season so your gain there loss.
