Is Kristian Bell staying with HKR next year ?

I always thought he looked a classy player with a big future.

Is it pronounced Sheriff, as in Roscoe P. Coltrane in the Dukes of Hazzard, or Shereef like Omar? And is it like Lewis or Louie? Exotic.

Not one specialist full back in the city, it seems.

It's Sheriff as in the sheriff of Tombstone, i always used to think it was Shereef untill a friend of mine who used to coach him in the youth set up put me straight on the correct pronunciation.

But we still haven't got to the bottom of the Louis/Lewis issue!

12 game ban for James Graham. 2 trial matches & possibly 2 internationals to count towards the ban. Assuming we can apply the same criteria to Travis Burns suspension? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/19831197

It'd be ripping the pee more than a bit anyway - not that I'd say no, if we could get away with it, but I doubt we could. The two trial games is an interesting one, as it is limited one over here iirc, but this isn't an over here ban. Bad tackle as it was it'd have been about 3 weeks at Red Hall - that's all Chase got for striking Ropati. Maybe 4 with his poor record (with the chicken wing tackle on top of that, of course) With the systems being so far out of alignment to be 'fair' you'd have to come up with some ugly fudge. And we all know how much the RFL hate those.

Yeah - he had injury issues early in the season, but as you say showed plenty of promise when he got his chance.
It'd make sense for us to keep him as a 20 year old club-trained player, but as he's very promising rather than very good I'm not sure who else would be massively eager to get him.
Would maybe lend credence to the Matty Russell rumour, because I don't really see much point in having both.
And actually thinking on it, whenever the kids are bigged up, Salter and the like, he isn't mentioned that often. He's not among those that made his debut this year, I suppose, but even still.

Was told last night that we are in for a young winger from Batley but didnt get a name. Alex Brown?
Also Jason Netherton on the verge of moving over to Australia after getting fixed up with a club and a job over there. Turned down 2 Super League offers apparantly.
