Yes he is, and if I was a betting man, I would say Hall has had his head turned by two former Trinity team mates, and perhaps suggested to the club he’s unhappy with our situation, and our management have always said they wouldn’t prevent an unhappy player moving on. I think if Dagger stays fit, then he’ll do a job for us.

Dagger could prove to be a good signing. Let’s give him a shot.

We have Langi, Lyne, Gaskell for Centre with Law/Pratt as emergency.

Ok so maybe £30k and then an £80k wage?

It’s not chicken feed and no I don’t expect the club have that kind of money hidden away in one of the directors mattresses.

Are you honestly telling me the club has ZERO flexibility on the cap? Given the amount of players who left off season and who / how we replaced them, if this is the case then our budget must be scraps. Like literally the lowest ever in Super League.

Also, as I say HKR we're of the view that he didn't have a future. Hence why he's coming here. So 30k seems a bit of a stretch. I bet there are several players out there, where thier respective clubs would allow them to move on for no fee at all - I'd rather we acquired one of those than lose the biggest asset at the club for a out of favour utility player.

We're now very weak at centre.

Agreed.

Hall hasn’t looked up for the fight.

We need lads up for the fight.

I think conversations will have been had and a deal reached that suits all stakeholders.

I think Dagger’s wage will be getting paid partially at least by KR too.

You've turned into the clubs chief apologist, post after post it's frantic, as the messiah sent you on here

Re: Swap Deal : Tue Mar 28, 2023 4:22 pm  

Hall is a future England International the club must be completely on its booty to sell one of its best players who can play centre or second row…. I am speechless.

Crazy crazy crazy

Because I think Dagger is a better option for 2023 than Hall is given the glaring issues in certain positions in the squad?

Don’t think I’ve apologised anywhere.

Simply said in the short term it makes more sense than keeping a player where we have 4 options to cover 2 positions than going with 1 specialist fullback, especially when the player leaving may not want to be here.

I don’t like it, but I can understand it.

Re: Swap Deal : Tue Mar 28, 2023 4:24 pm  

According to this week's League Express..."Applegarth is still keen to bring new faces to the club", so I'm guessing, by this announcement, that there are discussions on-going and that there may be limited funds available ??

Re: Swap Deal : Tue Mar 28, 2023 4:27 pm  

Can’t understand the logic on this one. Not looking past the end of our nose.

Re: Swap Deal : Tue Mar 28, 2023 4:27 pm  

It’s 20 year old players like Hall we should be keeping. Let Langi/Taufua/Gaskell go…

Let's just say this was all instigated by Hall. Do you believe that the club got the best deal for him?

Re: Swap Deal : Tue Mar 28, 2023 4:32 pm  

This as got to be the worse deal we have done , The guy who is coming across is a nother injury prone play .my respect for the coaches was very low but just wish now that they would leave
