I feel we need a barnstorming forward. I think Liam Harris will do the job til Abdul returns, in halves but we lack a big aggressive forward

I believe Tim has a trick up his sleeve that I do believe.... not entirely sure if Tim will put Harris in against London though and our nearest rivals can see him maybe playing addy or bobby.

Absolutely no chance of green, perhaps Hastings who we had apparently secured according to....Wikipedia can't understand hull wanting another forward especially an overseas player.

As fans of teams heading for a third straight middle 8s, I guess we both know this mini league can throw up plenty of oddities and that it is largely about timing your run. Good chance somebody will get two trips to France to contend with, and a few other random subplots a likely along the way.
For now, I'm just looking forward to hopefully claiming 'your' league leaders shield against London, this coming weekend - I wouldn't write them off either, if they make a good start and their fixtures fall favourably.
How have you found SL this time around?
I really enjoyed the novelty of winning most weeks in the championship up until quite recently. Now it is just staring to pall a bit, and the quality of the games (or lack of) is getting harder to ignore. I suspect it is actually better fare when mid-table teams play each other, as they'll try to play a bit. Against us they, understandably, often adopt pretty negative tactics.

Considerably better than last time around, but while we've been competitive in large parts, we've also had spells of utter ineptitude and relegation is a very real danger.

Would that be the Wizards sleeve?

I am more of an armchair 'critic' these days don't get me wrong I used to be a pass holder for years I remember well (unfortunately) going all the way to Cumbria to watch us get tore a new one by Whitehaven... but I can't say I am convinced by Ellis (I knew Abdul wouldn't disappoint) I don't expect us to have amazing halves in this league but I fear come the 8s we will be lacking in that department hoping to be proven wrong as I fear we won't sign a running half....

Re: Any further signings? : Wed Jun 28, 2017 9:37 am  

Well at first tim did say we need to sort the halve combo out because next season they will both go back to own clubs unless they release them. That is why we signed Chris atkin. But if we are to sign anyone which the mail says 1 player we need them in now its ok saying will be here before 8's, but did tim sheen not say we haven't seen the best of Carney it will take upto 4 weeks to get him to his peak.. on that basis alone we need new guy in and clued up rearing to go for the 8s

Depends if they have been playing or not, obviously carney wasn't allowed to play, be interesting to see who we bring in. One more thing.... is Kieran Dixon on the opposite wing as carney?
