Is it because he didn't go on the superleague show

A good clue is if their twitter is active? If they are in the $hit it goes into lock down. Hardaker is tweeting about peri peri mayo so doesn't strike me as a bloke who has just f*cked his career again. But I'm sure it won't be quiet for long if there is owt in it.

I bloody hope not because we'd have to reluctantly get rid if he's messed up again. But like the poster above said, Twitter is actually a good indicator and he seems fine on their.......even personally congratulating Ryan Brierly on Leigh's LLS.....nice work Zak

Keith Galloway signed on a 3 year deal

So next year looks like
Hardaker
Briscoe
Watkins
Moon
Hall

Sutcliffe
McGuire

Galloway
Aiton
Singleton
Ward
Ablett
Cuthbertson

Burrow
Garbutt
Mullally
Jjb/Delaney

Delaney/jjb
Keinhorst
Handley
Achurch

real pain isn't he? embarressing

Yates has signed for Wakefield

He is also a good friend of SBW.
Now if he can have a word with his mate to switch codes


Wikki gives his stats as 6 foot 5 and almost 17 stones.
From what I have seen of him on Premier Sports he looks to be a great signing and just what we need.

someone said he is on here as well. really has to either turn to drink or get a woman lifes to short to be as committed as him. hope todays signing may calm him down? saying that galloways not a hb

GH has confirmed Catalan are looking at Aiton. Aiton won't confirm his intentions. GH said he's contracted for next season but both club and player have an opt out clause.

Catalan are also looking at Lunt. I would guess if Aiton goes we would go for Lunt?

I'd say that it looks to me that he will be going to Catalan. That would confirm to me why we have been looking at Danny houghton and have gone back in the past few weeks and increased our offer. I'll be disappointed if we lose him as he has been a quality addition this season.

Apparently Lunt has agreed a deal with HullKR already.

For those wetting their pants about Widdop earlier in the thread, today was another fairly anonymous Widdop performance.... The least effective ball player on the pitch - though showed some good defence.

Yet to see him perform well consistently or against the better teams.

I think Widdop would do well in SL, but I've never been that impressed with him on a regular basis, especially for England. He's certainly, not as good as any version of Danny McGuire IMO.

Anybody that says Widdop wouldn't improve us next year is off their head. Sutcliffe is never a half back.

Sutcliffe will make a quality 13 for me

Sutcliffe, may have made a quality 13 10 years ago, but the game has moved on, he's a big 6, but does he have the frame to move into the pack every week? I doubt it, and with Cam Smith a couple of years away at the most I think we'll have better options at 13, so helping Sutcliffe develop into a quality stand off is probably the way to go IMO.

yes possibly so but I still think he would be good in there

I'm not saying Widdop wouldn't improve us - clearly he would be a decent signing; I'm just saying he ain't the superstar some people make out - infact far from it.

He's good when things are going well for the team, but he's not the sort of player to grab a game by the scruff of the neck and drag his team into the contest. Unfortunately, like many recent English playmakers, he's got a bit of the 'Leons' when the tough games come along.

Heard that only Baldwinson & Minchella will be returning from the loanees.

Briscoe, Duckworth, Tonks, Foster, Clarkson all going elsewhere, with Clarkson going to Hull KR.

From what I saw of the game it was pretty much one way traffic from the Storm. Judging half backs behind a beaten pack against arguably the most agressive pack in the comp says little about Widdop or Benji's ability/form. What I saw of the Saints attack was Benji running 30 meters sideways quite a bit, also running backwards at times.

If your not a Widdop fan this one would be an ideal game to highlight when cherry picking for an argument.

That's what I expected.

Of the ones departing the only one I was tempted to see more of was Briscoe Jr. as he showed some decent versatility value but we look better balanced heading into 2016 than we did when he was last here getting the odd game.

Don't think minchella is anyware near super league standard, and from what I've head he is more interested in his shagging career than his RL Career

Haha that tickled me

Not cherry picking - just a perfect example to back up my opinion that I posted a few days ago. Truth is, he has a fair few games like that - there's not many examples of when he has dominated a 'big' or tough game. Infact, I can't think of any - can you?

You make an interesting point. Prior to the Dogs v Sharks game on channel 9, they had a best 5 halfbacks in the comp section. The wash up from Gould, Johns and Fitler was that the halves who are regarded as playing the best play for the top five teams who happen to play behind the biggest and best packs. It was highlighted it's no suprise DCE is having an average season as the Manly pack are average. They basically said put any halves pair behind the top packs and you see different players.
