Yeah can't see why we would sign another hooker unless Leeming is on his way out.

I can see the logic in bringing a 2nd rower in if Hinchy is leaving as Bruno and Fergie will move to LF/Prop.

If say we get Uate, Holmes and a 2nd rower we will have an incredibly strong squad with strength in depth.

I expect us to lose Roche, Walne, Mamo and possibly Hinchy and maybe even Dickinson this time around.

Why on earth would leeming be on his way out? We currently have two hookers. If AOB continually plays 80 minutes games how effective would he be? What if one was to get injured for any length of time? Greenwood in the academy, hmmm, I know Luke likes him cause he’s a Siddal lad but something about him I’m not sure.... , others are still in first or second year.

Greenwood is leaving

Re: jackson hastings : Fri Aug 24, 2018 12:06 pm  

Id be looking to take Danny Walker from Widnes if they go down. Although, I expect him to go to either St Helens or Wire.

why would we want 3 hookers if we are to believe another hooker is what woolford wants

Re: jackson hastings : Mon Aug 27, 2018 9:23 am  

Tom Holmes signing confirmed. 3yr contract.

Re: jackson hastings : Mon Aug 27, 2018 9:29 am  

Big downgrade on Hastings, and still injured hope he’s had a medical or at least checked over

Re: jackson hastings : Mon Aug 27, 2018 9:44 am  

Hastings doesn't want to play for us so it's no downgrade.

Talented English halfback with a good future ahead of him, giants building for the long term is good to see.

ah the tom holmes rumour came true then , was linked with him before his injury... so this deal will have been done a while back no doubt, dont think woolford signed him, will be a thewlis one

young and could be a good one who knows, cant say ive seen him much, big injury hes had too so needs to prove will be the same, wont see him for a while as out till april and still behind gaskell and brough anyway

worth the punt maybe

Was offered to club by his agent Woolford’s first week, wasn’t signed before he came
