I would rather move Lilley to hooker and have Patton and Holmes in the halves or one of the loanees we had late in the season. One of them played at 9, i think he was from Hull F C.

If Patton moves on at least we have a hooker now. We need a backup if Hallas is gone too though.

Curtis Davies fits with the fact that we are signing a player from the PNG vs Wales game on Monday. I was hoping it would be Rodrick Tai (PNG Centre), McKenzie Yei/Sylvester Namo (PNG Prop) or even Keven Appo (PNG Loose).

Obviously would prefer Ipape, McDonald, Olam, Johnston or Lam like haha!

Things From Gledhill's Podcast/Live Video.

3 more coming from Leeds? Likely to be loans but maybe one permanent? Hopefully Donaldson on a permanent. And I'd like to see Holroyd and Tindall on season long loans as both aren't near Leeds 17 yet.

Assistant coach is done. Played for England a few times.

When asked about a silent backer, due to fund being available for the Walker/Thompson signings, Koucash was mentioned. But Gledhill said there's no smoke without fire.

I'd love to see us sign a few props like. Need some mobility and size there.

Pre Season games will be Halifax at home on Boxing Day. And Leeds at home, probably some time in Jan as part of the deals.

Elliot Kear going to Batley according to the T & A. They might teach him to pass the ball there !

Replacement for Hooley

Re: Transfer talk : Fri Oct 28, 2022 9:59 am  

Confirmed Murphy to Sheffield. A decent player but I think Sheffield are taking a big risk giving him a 2 year deal with his injury history.

With regard Curtis Davis, I have to admit I've never heard of him before this world cup. I believe he's been on loan at Whitehave form Workington?

Are we saying that we a going to replace arguably our best player with someone that couldn't get in the Workington team. A team that only won 1 game all year?

Please someone tell me I'm missing something here??

I agree with you. I think we have other hooker options within the swuad and to promote from the reserves.
