I think there was a bigger Twitter reaction to Carl Forster joining Swinton one a ONE MONTH loan, than there was when Rangi, Hansen and Paterson (combined) joined Leigh.

Carl is only 23, very young in prop terms. A month at Swinton will do him well, the Championship looks an even tougher league than it was last year. He will come back a better player for it, with a lot more minutes on the clock. Which he needs and wont get here throughout February.

I know this Sheens hasn't got a clue what he's doing, sending Carl Forster out on loan, how dare he! Looks to me like he's blagged his whole career at the top of the game.

Yes, him and the new England coach Bennett bloody chumps.

The legends that were Shaun McRae and John Harvey would have handled him much better.

We're only 99,999 signatures away from the matter being taken to West Minister.

I see at least a ten of the squad having to go on 1 month loans.
they either can't qualify for U19's games & will need regular competitive games to keep ball skills & fitness levels OK .
it's simply the structure of the competition these days without a serious U23's - reserve fixtures to get 1st team squad players back to full fitness or bring up younger players to a serious level .
