Would anyone like Danny Tickle back

You heard something?

I know the Wire board had a rumour on it that they would go for him. FWIW he's one of the very few players we've let go that i'd have back in a second especially after the Hock issue.

He's a strong runner of the ball and always asks questions of defence. He's always seemed to struggle to put 2 good seasons together but he's not been on tip top form this year so he's due a good one next year

I mentioned him as a replacement for Hock.

Three players, I wish we'd make connect with to replece him are

Ellis
Wild
Tickle

One of the three would do great

do we need to replace hock with a new player though? and even if we do, none of those 3 are anywhere near as creative as hock (imo, theres no 2nd rower in SL that is)

That my point, could Mossop/Farrell, take the helm??

IMO Farrell isn't fully ready anyway, Mossop yes he's ready, but to replace someone from the bench, not a starting 2nd Row.

2nd Row - New Sign
2nd Row - Locker's
LF - J. Tomkins

Bench
Mossop/Farrell

Bye Bye - Bailey (Released) - Hansen (Player Exchange Deal)

i dont know if any of the 3 academy lads are ready as i dont watch their games but id guess that mossop is the most likely given his current SL exploits

for me, hansen should take baileys role with tomkins and mossop battling for the other starting SR slot backed up by Farrell with Flanagan a back up for SR/LF

i really dont see the need to sign anymore players for the pack apart from props

If theres a good enough one available i'd sign a second row to replace Hock with Farrell or Mossop replacing Bailey.

Danny Tickle would fit the bill for me whereas Paul Johnson i'm not too sure on.

I'd be happy with a backrow of-

Tickle
J Tomkins
O'Loughlin

with either Mossop or Farrell on the bench.

I'd like to see alot more from Hansen for him to get a place although i thought he did take a step in the right direction against Hull KR.
