George Flanagan resigned on a 1 year deal.

A decent addition. He can change a game and has got us out of trouble multiple times this season. The only potential issue is his conduct on the field.

Made me laugh when he said he wants to have a good crack at it.

A decent resigning if he can stay on the pitch and out of trouble.

Cheap and, at times, one of our biggest attacking threats for the last two years sadly.

The strike power does look more promising this year though.

I’m happy with recruitment so far and I think most fans seem positive although I’m expecting the outcry to pour in when pickers is announced to Fev

I see the Samoan Matty right has been released by newcastle… would anyone else like to sign him?

I think we need a couple more forwards, ideally a prop.

Re: New Signings : Fri Oct 15, 2021 9:08 am  

Satisfied with Flanagan. Won't cost much. Can be a bit rocks or diamonds. He won us games single handedly last year, and some he was hopeless.

I think early on, Patton & Doyle will be the interchange hookers, but Flanagan will definitely need to be called on when injuries take thier hold.

Kibula has always struck me as a forward that doesn't do long periods. We definitely need another prop, even if Scurr stays.

True, but with my god we were crying out for someone like Kibula against Batley. Crossley, Baldwinson & Evans are the workhorses and can do long minutes. The likes of Scurr (if he stays) and Kibula can give us some much needed punch and be "game breakers" that we lacked last year. Seem to remember Swinton using Kibula to great effect as a wider running back-rower running at our HBs.

Agree we need more forwards. Sam Scott could be a shrewd buy, York fans seemed to really rate him. If Fleming & Scurr do sign that gives us 7 props so we do need one or two more, especially if we are going to be using the 13 as an additional prop.

Sure they'll be one or two out of the blue signings to come.

To be fair when Kibula played against us for Swinton I didn’t actually see him go off until 65th minute

Ha ha his comments about repaying the club's faith in him is an exact copy of what he said last year after his ban.

Fair play though he's a well worth the 1 year deal IMO.
