Has anybody heard the rumours regarding Gelling and Keanan Brand from Widnes. Also heard that we have turned down Burgess. Also heard Rangi Chase is looking for a club. Would take him now.

Rangi chase??? Christ Almighty.

Re: New signings : Mon Jul 15, 2019 4:48 pm  

I'd love to see Rangi Chase at his best....however he's drew more lines than Tony Hart.
It's only time.

Rangi Chase isn't what you need. He's another maverick like Austin and won't improve anything. Your problem is your pack, they aren't winning enough battles meaning Patton is always under pressure. If you had another one or two decent forwards to spell with Hill and Cooper you would go forward more and Patton's role would be shifting the ball on to the flanks and kicking, both of which he can do perfectly well.

You don't know how true you are.
Yes we can do better than Patton but you can name any half you want...behind a beaten pack it's as big a waste as Rangi's career.

Everybody has heard the rumours about Gelling, Keanan Brand has been mentioned also. We didn't turn down Burgess as he's not been offered to us, we've looked at him and realised his wage will be massive and only a club with a Marquee spot could afford him. Rangi chase i would swap for the rest of this season with Patton but he's signed with Doncaster, and we have Widdop next year so he's not needed. A couple of hard hitting big minutes Props are what we need.

Nearly spot on yet again Saddened but even with a good pack Patton wouldn’t still be good enough for me.

Assuming Pattons gone next season will we need to recruit a new scapegoat or is there someone in the squad already that could do the job?

Scapegoats are usually crap players! If Toby king is playing next season, he could take up the mantle no problem.

Wondered how long it would be before you popped up with the scapegoat argument.If you can’t see he’s just bang average you need give your head a wobble.
