cox doesn't have any stamina and doesn't seem to have the heart for it although he'd be fine at championship level. I think you need to be realistic and accept not every player you sign is going to be top 8 SL standard nor do they need to be at this stage.

I sort of agree 2 seasons Leigh played there first team all season and were burnt out by the middle 8s this season they signed about 5 players for the 8s and cruised through

Minimum aim is 4 home games and if we are good enough we will go up.no one should begrudge Leighs place in super league but our relegation seems worse as we had hudds and reds by the balls but screwed it up.still can't quite believe how it ended but it is what it is.still a bit sore from the season but we will go again.not looking forward to pre season friendly with the curly turds.Think we will do very well in championship,win our home games and fans will stay loyal.we will be fine

From a purely first team point of view, Cox would be a decent signing in The Championship, it might give him a chance to re light his career.

I really think him losing his spleen could have psychologicaly affected him.

The Kelly thread has been rightly locked, and please let's not carry it on here, but I'll miss him, loved the little fella.

Also bumped into Scott Taylor on Friday night and told him I thought he'd made the correct decision to go to Wigan, didn't think his antics towards the Rover's fans was a good idea and that he should have been playing on Saturday, seemed a nice lad.

Happy Diwali everyone.

Ken Sio to Newcastle for 2 years.
There is also a rumour that Dane Tilse has asked to train with the side and trial for a contract.

I know the hull daily mail is rubbish but they reckon Tile will stay

I'll be sorry to see Sio go , he's been excellent, if a little underused at times.

Tilse ? Hmm , can't help thinking we can get better value from an import.

Depends on the salary he is on, not as bad as people make out, probably lower SL standard, did he play every game last year?

The Ken Sio departure was always going to happen, young family back in Australia and all that. I big thank you to him for his 2 seasons at K.R. always in the top performers even when the team was struggling.
The Tilse situation should be based on his contract demands. If he's not been to greedy then a season in the championship could be good for him and us.

Interesting quotes by Sheens in the HDM today

Not exact word for word but " Pre season is short over here, and plenty of things for me to teach etc, with our new faces in the spine, in the six and seven places at least, although there are a lot of old faces we need to put some work together"

I do wonder who he could possibly be referring too considering we have signed 2 props and a backrower so fair.

I worry if we go with marsh and blair, so i hope this is indicative of a couple of signings

It could be that Addy is destined to be played at 6 ?
