Which one has left? If you mean Kiedan Hartley he left the club last year.

Seen it now, Ben Markland

Hang on, why was the old thread shutdown?

Sure some of us were disagreeing but this is a forum after all.

I don't agree with Rhino-Marks comments and I guess fanstanningley didn't either but it wasn't nasty or aggressive.

Bet Rhys has never had so many words written about him.

It wasn’t it’s still below, guess new year new page

Completely agree mate.

Just time for a new rumour thread. Old one is still available.

I do think some threads should be left + not merged though. Too much merging. Visitors to the forum don't see anything new, just the same threads. Less traffic, less posts, less interest.

Traffic and posting have increased since the board has been given a cleaner, more consistent look.

Threads merging spoil he flow of the posts and dissuade people from posting new subjects imo.
We have the same few posters making all the posts.
More subjects required.

New year, new thread, nothing to do with the mods shutting anything down.

The old thread is still available for you to comment on, its just been taken off its "sticky" location at the top of the page, nothing sinister. I thought that a soft changeover to the new thread would be better than just locking the other thread and stifling any ongoing debates.

Frosties and myself will listen to any suggestions to running the page etc, we are not egomaniacs, we just want whats best for the forum and the flow of the site, if youve got some good ideas, we'll listen.

Can't please everyone. Nicely said

Subjects get very intertwined, stops me posting personally. Please don't merge so much

It’s not Johnson joining Bradford after all, Waite-Pullan and Mustapha at the moment, but should increase to 4.

Will these be season long loans?
And if so can we recall if needed?
I`m guessing Walters and possibly Holroyd the other two who I was hoping along with Mustapha would get 3 or 4 games for the first team this year.

Personally I like the Evans signing he was a good player whilst at warrington was sold out for world class centres
As for not going to another club who actually needed one at the time. We are asking him to be a back up player and with his age experience think it's a good move I'm all for backing kids but you also need some experience in the squad.doesnt break the bank and adequate backup.

Latrell Mitchell has become available. If Rhyse can get his PNG passport sorted out. He could be a good option.

Nah. Not good enough.........

He WAS an ok player thats long gone hence him rocking up at Bradford.
We already have experience in the squad & its of the required standard Evans isnt.

He's a good player but don't think he'd come over here. He's been available for months and has been doing the rounds to NRL teams. Few teams have thought they were going to get him but it seems his wage demands are too high and has been holding out for the most money. Currently looks like he's going to the Rabbitohs

Past it Aussie journeymen are the last thing we need

We have better players in our U18’s, I’d rather give them a chance in the first team

If we do sign another quota player I doubt it will be an outside back now that Evans is on a seasoned loan.

I can't work out if you're being serious

Me either, Mitchell being 22 and all! If you are being serious then give your head a wobble

We do not have experience or numbers in the outside backs, or do you believe we do?
We need some experience to cover a number of positions and we now have that and most likely on the cheap so I think it is fine. You would prefer to go with untested young kids, so what happens if habdley and Konrad get injured first game? Then we go with a full set of outside backs who are 20 or under? Madness!
You need a squad with players at different levels and ages. Nobody is saying he is great, nobody is saying he should start, nobody is saying he is going to make us top 4 contenders. However, for our squad this season we need cover and he is that. End of year If any young outside backs progress then they take his place.

Best post for a long time. For Comedy value
