Bailey Hodgson signing - apparently : Sun Jul 21, 2024 9:01 am  

This has just appeared in the usually reliable Yorkshire Press and, if I may add, is somewhat out of the blue https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/ru ... h-29582309

Yeh Lammie says we need him as Hardacker leaving so leaves us a bit thin. Find that a bit confusing as Hardacker plays centre, so can’t understand why we need another full back. Armstrong O’Brien and Moylan all play there, so why.

He'll be an understudy to those players in his development.

He has played centre alot this year in the NSW cup.

This signing looks like it makes a lot of sense. O'Brien is more likely to provide cover for the halves, or even be starting there if lam leaves, while Moylan will also be playing in the halves next year. Armstrong will start at full back, while Hodgson provides cover there or potentially starts at centre.

If it is an immediate transfer, he may even get a run at centre this season.
