Seems like a good time to share this interview I did last month with George Flanagan again about the reasons why John Kear is going to stick by him and why you're going to see a new George in 2020 after seeking help from Sporting Chance. George has just signed a new one year deal for 2020. https://soundcloud.com/user-129831624/g ... reflection

A player I would have been disappointed re-signing a couple of months ago, but in our current situation it's a no brainee. I'd have Doyle ahead of him but you can't expect 20 year old to step up and play every week. George will be cheap and is more battle hardened than another young player will be.

Exactly my thoughts. He will bring a different element to the side that might get bashed about a bit unless we can do some business in the loan markets for some forwards.

Who is actually on board so far? Has anyone got a list of signed players please?

George is battle tested and that's the type we need right now.

I'm working on one which will include those academy players who featured in the 1895 Cup last year.

Well as far I've got-

Rowan Milnes (Season Loan)
Rhys Evans (2020)
George Flanagan (2020)

Not been formally announced but had contract for 2020-

Jordan Lilley
Steve Crossley etc

Pickersgill I thinks contracted for next year. As is Joe Brown.

According to the 2019 squad thread we have the following players contracted for 2020:

Brandon Pickersgill
Alix Stephenson
Jy Hitchcox (Rumoured move to Toulouse)
Ross Oakes
Rhys Evans
Joe Brown
Elliott Culling
Jordan Lilley
George Flanagan
Thomas Doyle
Steve Crossley
Keelan Foster
Connor Farrell
Evan Hodgson
Vytas Vaznys
Ebon Scurr

There's players like Brad Gallagher, Cameron Berry, Cobi Green and Harry Shackleton who also under contract and will be in line to play first team.

I'll have the full list on Monday.

Just forwards we’re short of, more specifically props. Again. Toronto have lots of props, don’t they?

We could do with another experienced back or two

Quote ="paulwalker71"They don't I looked at the player page on their website, I can only see five, one of whom (Ashton Sims) has now retired. https://www.torontowolfpack.com/player-profiles/'" I wouldn't be getting over excited about DR with Toronto (if true). They've always run a small squad and of course they have no Reserve or Academy set up. They have 23 players listed on their site currently, and whilst they will obviously add players, I doubt that they'll have loads of players to offer to us.

Won't Toronto have to run a reserve team next year though? thought it was now a requirement for SL teams or will they get an exemption?

The player bradford need not sure if they could afford him is Anthony England, now that would be a massive statement

Doesn't seem like it applies to Toronto, at least for 2020...



Cynics may suggest that they could use us as their 'de facto' reserve team. Remember that DR works both ways! Someone playing well for us might find themselves suddenly playing for Toronto in SL...

They were talking to him

Dale Ferguson impressed for Scotland today and is currently looking for a new club.

Too injury prone for me

Ferguson was one of those traitors that jumped ship last time. F him, we don't need his type at the club.

Was Ferguson at Featherstone last year?

If my memory serves me right, clough and Gaskell where the dishonest players there, Ferguson did play to the end unlike them other 2 who just played injured and collected the coin

I’m not sure Ferguson jumped ship. He got a super league contract offer when his contract with us was expiring and took it
