You've got the wrong man: Mark Sawyer, Dewsbury Chairman, is the man buying 24.99% of the shares not KN.

I thought I’d checked, apologies.

None needed. There's a bit of a smell about the whole business. Not really sure how the RFL can say there's no conflict of interest and that the rules haven't been broken though when MS is the Bradford representative negotiating and agreeing budgets with them, and actively trying to remove one of his own club's sources of income - they seem to have conveniently forgotten that it's not only size of shareholding that matters.

I think I've had enough of this e!

A bit like B****T but macabrely fascinating

Sam Barlow training with Fax.

Quality player, disruptive influence. Lets hope he can still be quality after so long out and lets hope he has grown up at the same time. The reality of the position we are in though is if he can even be half as good as he were he will still be better than anyone we have in the forwards barring Moore and Fairbank.

I agree if the “new” signing was Barlow I would have been quite excited. How old is Sam?
If he can keep his head and play like he did for us last time he is a top forward and will improve our pack. Yes, Sam can be hot headed but we need some of that aggression up front that I think we have lacked the las few seasons

Sam is 31 I think.

So good age for a prop at this leaves

although he hasn't played for 4 years

Whitehaven have signed Jamie Thackery he must be 40?

Now been reported that KN will own about 10% of the shares. The whole thing gets shadier by the minute.

Im struggling to grasp why the Chairmen of 2 rival clubs would want/need shares in the Dulls

He is indeed 40! I can remember watching him playing for the reserves at Fartown!

out of curiosity, after SG's comments last week that he wants another play-maker, who can we realistically be in for?

a hooker will be incoming obviously and with Bob Beswick going to Newcastle you'd think the Carlisle rumours are solidifying.

But with regards to a HB, COULD we go for someone like Wallace/Sammut or do you think Scott Grix might end up playing there?

From what I can see now the halves look like being Muzza and Gilmore with JWH, SG and RCS in the mix depending on injuries, form and any other addition.

Lilly from bulls will do

Thanks but no thanks.

Young and excellent kicking game. Be daft to turn him away

I don't rate him much higher than Ben White to be honest.

Rumours that Salford after Dan Fleming. Would we get some cash for him if true, or will he have a super league clause

The article said he had been one of the Championships standout players. Mmm? Now if only he could take Keegan with him.

My own opinion, but I think the biggest problem our pack had this year is the lack of a decent hooker. Someone who would keep the momentum going with quick plays and good direction from the acting half. Bringing the forwards onto the ball at speed. Kay a 100% every game but too slow and Moore good at darting from acting half but lacks directive play for me at the play the ball.

The answer to the hooker conundrum has just signed for Newcastle.
