Come on bro, nobody likes a tease

Any clues?

does it start with m and end in oss?

Maybe I am confusing him for someone else, but while Pickers got run over for the try, he also made a try saver in the first half when York created a 2 man overlap on our left wing on a switch play. Pickers came across, chose the right option and bundled the lad into touch when it should have been a try. This hasn't been mentioned.

Of course it hasn't, it doesn't fit Pyrah's agenda

i wonder if we are taking another player from cas. isnt james clare out of contract soon?

I've been trying to think of someone we could bring in who's available and experienced enough to be Pickersgill's mentor and I can't really think of anyone so I'm curious as to who we're looking at.

Mate I have no agenda and I’m not basing it on this pre season game... all I’m saying is I really don’t think he’s ready for week on week at the level we are at I could be wrong but I might not too? Why are you so insulted by my views are you related to him?

Tell you what
I wouldn’t say no to the Newcastle full back
Is ritson

Signed a new contract at Cas in July. Tied for another two years yet.

I could be wrong but I think Ritson has signed up with a Championship team this season. Maybe Barrow?

Like I said early
McNally is under contract so if he goes we should get a fee for him, so it will give us something today’s maybe buying someone

That York lad ran straight over a couple of lads bigger than Pickersgill. And he is a big lad.

I wasn't at the game but was told that when Pickersgill was "run over" he was stood on his own line and didn't get much assistance from team mates. Sounds as if anyone would've struggled to stop the opposition player there - do people have realistic expectations?

That's about right. He ran straight through a tackle. I thought it was young Foster and AN Other that made the attempt. A lad much bigger than BP, albeit probably 3 years behind in age/development.

Interesting! I’d be sad to see McNally go but unfortunately his first season with us was disrupted by injury and I don’t think we saw his best. He did score a few great long range trys and contributed to us getting promoted though so for that I’d be grateful and wish him well for the future.

As for being pleasantly surprised by his replacement. I’d be suited if it was Moss but not necessarily surprised as he was the first name that came to mind.

Like others, I’m struggling to think of anyone else available. Maybe they are not a free agent. Maybe a loan? Or someone that wasn’t guaranteed a first team spot that wants to leave in order to play every week?

Golding from Leeds?

Wouldn’t be bad on a year long loan

Signed for north Sydney bears

Phoenix Hunapo Nafoa

Still waiting for a visa

No mate, neither do I.
He was our best player a few times last season and was the surprise package, 'bolter' if you like from the academy last year, playing in far more games that he might have expected and maybe a few more than were optimum for his development. He's not perfect. Well, no sh.. Sherlock, who have thought that, a young player who's not perfect. I hope he doesn't come on here or he might be considering giving the game up. Hope no-one tells him that 'bolters' tend to have a 'catch-up' season after the big breakthrough year or his confidence will be totally shot....

Mate I’m not giving him a passing and I agree he was good last season but the last thing I want is to throw him in like we did with Kirk he was thrown in too early and it stunted his development a bit some players can handle the immediate some can’t I personally have high hopes for Storton this year maybe Wilson... I just feel pickers still needs to learn of a more senior fb I’d love to see him get some solid game time next season

I think Kirk too is coming along nicely. Playing CL/L1 for 5 years would certainly be ideal development for many props at SL.

As for FBs. I like Dudzek at Dewsbury.

He is now at Sheffield
