Hi Fred. Prior to Schofield’s departure to play for West’s, his agent agreed terms and he signed up. Whilst in Oz, he found out what the Oz players were getting and tried to renegotiate. FC had prior agreed to let him stay with the Tigers till the end of their season, which he did. On his return he refused to play for Hull until they agreed new terms. FC stuck to their agreed deal and I believe he was sold to Leeds in October. Hence the original “Judas”. Great player and a pity he didn’t finish his career at Hull.

Seem to think Maurice Bamford was GB coach as well as Leeds coach which didn't help

Cameron Scott joined York on loan for a month. Is he one that is OOC this year?

He needs game time at a decent level and due to the state of the reserve fixtures it’s a good move for him. Think he’s worth another contract but needs game time to develop.

Completely agree. Hopefully it will be a good indication of the level he is at.

He is only 19 and lots of potential
Seems to have added a bit of pace looking at his try for Doncaster last week.
Like all young backs they have to work hard on defence and body development but time is on his side.
In a couple of years we will see the finished article

Seb Ikahihifo
Tom Johnstone
Denny Solomona
Paul Gallen
Cameron Smith
Billy Slater
Jarrod Hayne
Josh Drinkwater

It would be a bit odd if he had signed in April and this came out. The problem with threads like this (and the rumours threads in years gone by) is that some start believing them.

I think it just shows how one comment on a message board can take on a life of its own, however implausible.

Re: Recruitment 2020 : Tue Jun 18, 2019 6:59 pm  

If his head is turned I'd offer him a marquee contract. He's the most talented young player in the ESL and we need to keep him.

Is he on a central contract or do you have to play for saints or Wigan to qualify for one.
