Any truth in the rumour he has signed for Hull on loan until Berrigan is fit?
Hope he doesn`t play against us on Saturday.

If it is true, I am sure that he would be cup tied anyway.

Would be a great loan move if true, the lad should be playing superleague standard rugby week in, week out.

Great move for both parties if true. Hopefully he will get plenty of game time and show why he should be replacing Buderus.

Why? We haven't played a cup match yet...

Leeds would probably invoke a clause.

You have to be signed by a specific time period before each round don't you?

The "Gary your on a promise from Kath" clause?

Its worked before.

If he does sign for them I don't doubt that he won't play against us, but he may play in later rounds (that's if we lose to Hull

) depending upon if Leeds allow it as we might need him later in the season ourselves.

Edit - If we do lose to Hull then we won't need him for the cup anyway

When have we ever looked at that


Expect him in the squad

I doubt he would still be at Hull later in the season as he is only there until Berrigan gets fit.
Unless of course his loan is extended but would he rather play in the Leeds reserves or Hull`s reserves.

Has this been confirmed anywhere yet? If so is he available for them tomorrow?

See Jamie Thackray


[i"Hull re-signed the prop forward from Leeds after the initial deadline of March 3 and played him in their 42-5 fourth-round win at Rochdale on April 20."[/i

Thanks for your quote, but it's quite irrelevant. Unless Leeds are wanting McShane to play in further rounds of the cup for themselves then it does not matter whether McShane plays or not.

The 19 man squad was announced yesterday and he's not in it,

that means nothing, half our team that played at Wigan wasnt in the 19 either

New signings can be added to the squad.



but he wont be playing even if he has signed.
If he came for the year then we would have to utilise Berrigan as a centre when he gets back which wont happen

This cannot be true because part of Buderus remit is to pass on his knowledge to the young hooker McShane.

That's the line that's been trotted out whenever I've questioned his onfield input anyway.

"But, But, he is passing on his extensive knowledge and skills to the young hookers at the club"

Maybe his knowledge has all run out?

Maybe they think Berrigan has more knowledge!

He was named in tonights u20 team to take on Hull at stanningley so i guess if he's not there it could be true.
It would be a good move imo 1st team chance at SL level can only benefit us and him long term.

He wont be in our 17 tomorrow so i'd guess he can play for your 20s tonight and then join us from Monday?

Rumour has it Kath told Gary if he wouldn't cough up a replacement for Berrigan he would have to start sleeping with her again.....Gary offered Diskin & Buderus, but Kath explained McShane would do.

I'd of thrown in Ali and Webb aswell to avoid that!
