Agree with all other previous comments. OK player and grafter but nowt special and not deserving of the captains armband in Campo's absence. Shocked he's got an NRL gig for 2 years, but bet he'll hardly get a look in. Can't say I'm upset he's leaving but wish him well Down Under.

Frees up a daily seat on the Battle Bus, though.

New bus required, the old one died over the summer.

just what we need

With Minns coming in and what we have already, outside backs seem better stocked next year. Bulk Charlie up and try him at Loose? Might be the only way he gets a regular game next season apart from covering for first choice Dixon at FB. He's creative enough, got passion but lacking a bit of pace these days, LF might just work for him.

Good luck to him, he has played his part for us & thanks for that. Can his agent get Walker a contract down under as well please?

Tilse is staying for next season. Straight from the horse's mouth.

I also heard a rumour yesterday that Welham has been made an offer for 2016 and beyond by Bradford, but I don't know how genuine it is.

Re: Tyrone McCarthy : Tue Sep 08, 2015 1:34 am  

A good grafter, but no big loss .....If anything, it just paves the way to bulk up our front row and second row and give the loose forward position to Maurice Blair ......Obviously he would have to lose the belly due to the graft required, but Blair's great defense, strength going forward, slight ball-handling skills and kicking game in the middle of the park could make him a great loose forward and give us a lot more than Tyrone did in that position.

That's great news when they described him before coming over as this 6 feet 7 giant powerhouse I thought god he will be a handful now we have seen him full of wind and mickey poor replacement for Weyman or Poore and that's been honest
