His parents live about 100 yards form my mum in Prestwich - unless they've moved out in the last couple of years.

So here is the plan, you mum does some curtain twitching till Platty turns up to show his new training kit to show his parents, or she could ring you you drive your car, block his in, leave a note, he comes knocking asking you to move your car you can ask him yourself?

underwhelmed so far to say the least. I supposeon the positive side we have gone for British youngsters but need a hard man in the pack to protect them all.

Was thinking something along these lines, the natural one would have been Stapleton as aparerntly he was as hard as they came as I reckon one particular squad member will testify post USA.
Alker is the main one ther I reckon but do we really need our captain getting binned?? Bring back Korky is what I say and that is'nt in the slightest bit tonge in cheek.

In what way exactly?? Giving penalties and dropping balls all over the place as well as leaving gaping holes in the defensive line whenever he's on the field??

Simple really hitting the ball at pace, showing some balls, attempting to off load and as mentioned looking after the kids out there. Don't think Korky was the best prop we have ever had but showed balls, commitment and think he took to the club and fans to heart when he was here.

Marching us up the field somthing giddy like 2600 yards in one season in a beaten pack, hitting the ball at speed and taking defenders with him everytime, willing to give somebody a slap on the sly to get the crowd going, if we had resigned Korki our front row would be ammense, Cashmere offloading at will Korki scattering a defence, runners everywhere looking for offloads.

Perhaps its too much of a gamble as both are special effect players and with both you would need a steady eddie kind of prop to do the normal stuff to give them a foil, thats the only reason i can think why we didnt resign him
