Brinning at York is someone we are pursuing I'm led to believe. Not seen his name mentioned yet.

I said exactly the same thing to him. I did ask Zak direct but got zero back other than he has found it tough but is finding his feet at the club. No idea what to make of it all tbf

...Sarge to FB, Ryan Atkins in at right centre?

I’m a self proclaimed happy clapper but that would even kill me off. If Hardaker was to go, which I really hope he doesn’t, it would demand a replacement of the same quality not a utility player. Hmm.

Front page of League Express claiming we’re after Toby King from Warrington. I’d much prefer that than Atkins. He’s a right sided player too which we’re much in need of.

Edited - it’s League Weekly, not League Express. It also doesn’t say Toby King, just King! Sorry for frightening people!!

I struggle to believe that. I think Sarginson as a centre is useless but I'd sooner have than King a big lad with no finesse.
Short term we need forwards. Front row at least 2 new props and a hooker and 2 back rowers. Secondly we need 2 new half backs then we should start thinking of new backs.
I'm fine with a 2 or 3 year rebuilding as long as it starts in earnest in 2020.
My worry is that we were probably the worst team after hull over the entire weekend. London would definitely for me beaten us this afternoon.
IL &. KR must have been sleeping for the last 4 years not to have seen this coming.
I'm genuinely concerned that we may well end up bottom of the pile unless we sign a couple of forwards in the next 2 weeks. Our front row is shoite and has been for several years

Was it not Max King from Gold Coast, to replace Hamlin rather than king from Warrington?

If we sign either of those then I’m afraid that’s me done. This is how much we have fallen since Radlinski became chief exec

I’d rather play with 12 than sign Toby King.

I may have put 2 & 2 together to get 5 here. It just says ‘King’. Maybe it’s a different King? Maybe even someone like Matt King as an assistant coach?

Might be Jonathan King as academy coach.

It might be the Chinese rugby union player Wan
