Is it Roy Asotasi?

Don't have anything against Scruton, if he came back i'd be happy!

Can't see it this season, but he's only one a 1 year deal at Wakey and we seem to be saving his squad number for some reason.

He played in the first two games against Castleford and Wakefield so his number is inked in.

I thought that when a player left, his number then gets released, and its up for grabs. Maybe i'm getting confused with football

I didn't think that happened in football either. I don't know what it is as such but my impression is once that squad number is allocated, and announced, then it's 'registered' against that player for the season. It seems there's been some swapping and changing at other teams in pre-season after squad lists are announced but apart from that each new recruit, including all of our 7 loanees have a new squad number.

Whilst I was disappointed to lose Scruton and Sammut I understanding of their reasons for going. I have since wondered whether with the advantage of a crystal ball, Scruton might well still have be at the club. I suspect Wakefield would be very reluctant to strengthen our hand and neither player is worth making a silly offer to tempt them.

It would be nice if this next signing is a permanent one though. FC has recently said that a signing was complicated due to other clubs being involved so perhaps there are a few deals being finalised that are dependant on one another.

Does in football;

Anderson was no.8 for Man U when the season started, played a couple of games. Now Mata is no.8 for United, as they sold Anderson in January.

Rugby, being a different sport, may be completely different. Grey are for me i'm afraid.

Would love to get Kafusi for the rest of the season. Showed Manukafoa how to run the ball in. Never took a backward step and charged into the tackle.

Says in telegraph franny hoping to get some new faces early this week. , even today so lets all keep are fingers crossed for a permanent prop signed up . Also says Manu should be back next week but fakir out a few week

Come on you bulls. !

That nasty Huddersfield giving you good players again eh?

Glad he's done well - Bold move by PA to show he's not afraid to drop an underperforming "first choice" player. Loaning players has worked well with ferguson to KR last year and mullally to bulls this. Mullallys enthusiasm to run hard at the likes of huby and lynch when he came on yesterday shamed kopczak and Eorl into their best performances so far this year. Loanees leave eager to improve, do well at their loan club and come back eager to work hard on the field at giants. Win win all round.

You need some material

Exactly, it's good for player and both clubs. Although you can keep Kopczak

I'd guess that is normally the case - bit like the chain you get when house buying..

Think a lot of perspective players who had ideas to join us are waiting to see what they are getting into, with this win over Warrington and we played really well may just sway them, if is was another's thumping they would maybe look somewhere else.

Think that's very true Broady.

I think players look to playing for the most successful sides they can and probably, as pro-sport is a very short career in the great scheme of things, they look for the 'best' deals they can get.

I guess your prospective employer going bust isn't something most people think too much about when mulling over job offers, but it sure as hell concentrates the mind when it does happen, that's for sure and it definitely has to be amongst our current problems in getting 'staff'.

Anybody got any clues/rumours as to the new forward and possible outside back who are being talked about

Exactly my point Bulliac

I'm thinking ryan mcgoldrick

God I hope not, awful player who is a penalty machine.

Purely a guess as he's on a short contract at Oxford

Ryan Bailey

Rumours on facebook suggest Hull prop Chris Green and Fev back Greg Worthington.

Are the rumours permanent or loan?

Can't see how super dooper Feath with their BILLIONS of new investment and top 4 SL ambitions would be selling anyone.

They need to make room for Greg Inglis.


On the FB rumours, they would both be interesting signings, but I'd be surprised if Hull let Green go permanently, I'd guess that one would be a loan - doesn't he have the 10 shirt there? Finished last season in the 17 and I thought he was only out this year due to injury?

what about Greg Burke, when is he over his injury? Would make sense if he came back I guess
