Its the old as age problem, do you keep players at expense of culture or do you try and find a happy medium. We went with culture and found ourselves in a sticky spot with a powder puff pack that all "work hard". As we found though working hard simply is not enough on its own at this level. I hate to single players out but when you see McComb, who obviously gives 100% every time he is on the field for us, lining up at loose forward and you take a look at some of the players we have moved on, then its not really hard to see why we are in the trouble we are in.

Kieran Hudson incoming from Leeds according to Gledhill, from memory did he play in the preseason friendly at Bradford and went well before knocking himself out trying to put a big hit on Doro and getting it wrong.

Yes and would explain why he was on the original 21 man teamsheet earlier..

The only thing i can think of is maybe have a look at him for the rest of this year with the view to bring him back on loan next year if he impresses

To be honest i do not expect him to be the best in defense or play long minutes and have a high work rate. What i do expect is for him to carry with some punch and give us better go forward then our current middles. And for those reasons he is worth signing.

Who’s team sheet Fax or Leeds?

Whenever we are linked with players or have signed them i always look on that player's club forum to get a fan's view of the player. Looking on't shudds site, they certainly aren't happy to see him go. We'll see, and if he's as they say, well that'll do me. Three Pigeons, White Rat 4.0% Mmm!

Fax..if you look up Tom Maiden on fans forum he picked his team from the original squad announcement,must have fallen through as the 4pm incoming never happened..

I thought the 4 pm incoming was announced as Keelan Foster?

Hours after Sid Scoop Faxcar.

First announcement showing now at 8pm as 4 hours ago which would make it 4pm it’s the second post that was 2 hours later.
Sid Double Scoop Miserybusiness.

So this weeks deadline deals are Morgan in earlier this week on loan as a 4th halfback and Foster in for Lannon to the end of the season and 2 forwards out on loan to Whitehaven with game time for them being more important than them playing a part in helping a direct rival involved in the relegation battle because we might need them later in the season even though they’ve hardly played all year??

Anyone know what happened to the Hudson incoming as I think it’s him in the Fax Retro Shirt Facebook photo wearing a Leeds top

and as MB mentioned he was named in the original 21 squad for this week before being pulled and replaced by Widdop?

Fell through, someone changed their minds, injured in training, loan to be announced later?

In Finns pre match interview he says something along the lines that we have strengthened our relationship with the Rhinos by making these loan deals. So i was thinking not just Hudson on loan but possibly Littlewood and Nicolson watton too because none of them have played enough dr games to continue to be available for us. Either i am barking up the wrong tree or they just haven't been announced yet.

Not sure what’s happened to the Kieron Hudson signing reported earlier and pictured in training although loan signings can still happen and may still feature. Just been doing a recap of players for next year ( provided we stay up ) based on what has been reported and rumoured and who is signed for 2025

Woodburn hall(2025)

Salty ( not heard anything but highly unlikely he’ll go anywhere else )

Charlie graham ( been told he’s re-signed)

Owen restall
Brad graham
Ronin Dixon and one other from dewsbury ( might be ollie greensmith but not sure )

Owen mccarron ( 2nd rower to replace gee from Whitehaven)

Jack Hansen ( to replace Keyes from Sheffield)

Heard jouffret, kav n Bob all re-signed

Inman and obrien signed up


Sebastine Ikahihifo ( reported as signed from hudds)

Calcott will return from injury

Douglas ( 50/50 whether he will be able to play on )

Then there’s a few recently signed players who are signed till the end of the season who were not sure on like Boyer , hird and foster .

Would like to keep Crooks , a quality centre, although I know there are rumours of a move to London

I believe Hudson has signed a season long loan but due to limitations on dr/loans cannot be named I match day squad.

Just posted in a new thread an article taken from Love Rugby League earlier this week explaining the rules on DR & Loans.

Can you elaborate.Couldnt be named this weekend only ?
how many dr/loans are allowed in any 17 ?

Clubs can have a combined maximum of 5 loan and DR players with a limit of 4 on DR in the 21 Match Day squad bearing in mind that by match day the 21 will be reduced to 17 starters and 1 - 18th man.

Still waiting for official confirmation of the details on the Leeds lads including Hudson.

Listenup can comment on elaboration seeing that he was the one to ask.

I think that what added to the confusion was there were a number of things happening all at the same time as separate posts / comments all having something in common but not necessarily a direct connection.

For example Lannon left the week of the transfer deadline and a number of deals were being done.

We were watching for what people like Matt Shaw and Mick Gledhill were saying and MG said Foster and Hudson would be joining Fax.

Fax announced a 4pm deadline day signing which some thought would be Hudson and others Foster.

If Hudson came in along with Johnston, Littlewood and Whatton already being with us the question of loans / DR, deadline day and numbers and the rules was asked.

Only Gledhill mentioned Hudson as incoming and only the Foster signing details were officially mentioned by the club with nothing being said regarding the status of the other Leeds lads but the Hudson link looked true when Fax named 4 of them in the original 21 which included Hudson who was then pulled and replaced by Widdop shortly after even though Widdop wasn’t fit to play!

Talk about confused.com even the numbers explanation for Hudson not being named doesn’t add up because they wouldn’t have been exceeded anyway!!

As before just have to wait and see how things turn out I guess?

All I know is that I asked a friend of a friend about Hudson that friend asked another friend and the answer was Hudson was signed on loan but couldn’t be included in the match day squad because we’d exceeded match day limits of loan /dr agreements . ( all these friends work directly for the club )

Given that Littlewood had played despite being dr for two games would lead me to believe he was now on loan , also saw watton at the game .

Anyway the easiest way to explain it is those who were originally on dr who’ve played less than four games must have transitioned to loan players and if they are not recalled within the next two weeks will be with us for the rest of the season so watton , Littlewood and Hudson . Johnson has played more than 4 so doesn’t need to be on loan and Kai Morgan is on loan unless a man in a purple suit is marooned on Ireland.

Frank Carson and two boiled eggs lol

So just to be clear, is Frank Carson on loan or on Dual Eggs.

I hope you are Yoking

SORRY !

Gee has been signed by Bradford for next season

Fax shouldn't play Keyes and Gee as of now. They don't want to be here, let them go.
