I’d try and sign Luke Yates , out of contract this year I think .

I mentioned him a page or two back, definitely the type of player we need, all the top sides have a good 13, up there with signing a 7 and a 9 IMO.

No nonsense 80 minute forward who tackles anything, type of player we need going forward even though he’s knocking on a bit .

It’s obvious you’ve never met, he’s not in your mummy’s basement too.

You’ve got to love Mav. Him and Maureen are the RL power couple.

I'm not sure Yates is what we need. 2 2nd rowers, a hooker, a scrum half and a centre needed before we worry about a 13

Really pleased Ellis has signed up.
Also shows that Myler is listening and observing what’s been going on.
Baby steps forward but encouraging.
I know dobbins on here will scoff but I’m
confident we will have our day this season.
kr will implode like they always do

Dodd going to Souths could open up the halfback market, although should we be aiming for better than Hawkins?

Suprised he has gone there, don't think he is in the top 5 scrum halfs in SL, surley Lam would have been a better option.

We deffo need a 13, we haven’t had one for years.

Yet another contributing factor to our gradual fall to 11th in the league.

'Aiming for better'

Sorry Dave but that's a really dumb comment, he's still a young guy that's getting paid handsomely to play in the best league there is, he's currently a first teamer and yet you think FC are maybe in a position to be aiming for better???

Just out of interest who would you like your club to be aiming for? Realistically of course

When the current 13 options are Cator fash or Houghton...we need a 13
