The Liam Johnson loan has now been confirmed by the Bulls. He's described in the title of the story as a "Utility Second-Row". Not entirely sure how that works...

The explanation of what a utility second-row means is in the article, final sentence of paragraph 4. You should have gone to spec savers.

Corey Aston going to Cas apparently. Released by Leeds. I'd have taken him back here definitely.

Hmmm.... released by Leeds and had ourselves and Castleford as options? Hardly a surprise that he chose Cas...

Maybe we can get him on a loan when he doesn't get a game, but that's the best we can hope in our situation

He needs a LOT of work before he's ready for SL. His defence in particular was nowhere near SL standard.

Thought he and Keyes worked well together. The two of them and Chisholm would have given us the best halfbacks in C1 and plenty of cover.

Anyone wondering if we'll be revealing any overseas signings when our intrepid club representatives return from Australia?

Wasn't Lee Smith referred to as a Utility Full Back or something when he signed too? I think it's just the lad in charge of the website doesn't actually know the sport. You're right, the way you type it would just about work, or even the next line that calls him a Utility Forward. But I don't think it's a mistake, I just think the guy isn't a Rugby League person so doesn't understand the terms properly.

Either that or he's a future genius who sees the game differently to everyone else

Article in one of the Yorkshire Papers (forget which now) said he was expected to immediately join Sheffield on a season long loan from Cas.

He's playing in the QFs which will trigger his third game.
