According to League Express, We have agreed terms with Liam Hood. Anyone know much about him ? Watto rates him

I've not seen much of him but i reckon Leeds fans will be able to tell you more about him!

His brother Robin,was a good un

There,s always one. Wish I had thought of that, Steve

Typical Salford always signing the lesser well known Brother

Just out of interested why aren't we giving gareth owen a crack instead of bringing in another youngster?

Looks like Gareth is not rated at salford

I know, can't see why. think it is what we need.

A go forward hooker, although i haven't seen Liam play so will reserve my judgement of him until I see him play

i think i remember him playing against cas a few years ago and i seem to remember him being very fast

People keep going on about Gareth Owen, i'm not gonna slag the lad off because he is a good lad.
What everyone needs to remember is in last years under 20's academy, Gareth played second fiddle to young Harry Files who went on to pick up the player of the year award. Why is nobody talking of giving Harry a go..

Owen also had to end his loan deal at Sheffield and go to Oldham because he couldn't get a game, so it doesn't seem like we're the only ones who don't think he's quite ready for the first team yet.

Isn't the reason Owen appeared to play second fiddle to Harry Files that Gareth Owen was playing in the first team instead? He made 18 appearances in 2012 and 15 in 2013. That will also be the reason people are talking about giving him a go rather than Harry Files.

Why does everyone think Owen isn't going to be given a go? I can quite easily see Tommy Lee leaving. With Tomkins going back as well, we then would have Hood and Owen?

Am I missing something here?

I lost track of topics while I was on holiday, but hasn't someone posted something about Lee being lined up by Hull KR?

The other player in the mix here is Theo. Whilst he will clearly be the first option to cover the halves, you would presume he wont just be sat in the stands all the time if Dobson and Chase keep fit. You'd probably expect Theo to be in the 17 most weeks able to go interchange hooker and cover the halves. That would still keep others down the pecking order.

It was me that said Lee was going to Hull kr I also claimed that Theo will be sharing the hooking role with Liam Hood all of which I was told by a Salford player wont give you his name but thats why I was positive it was the truth

Considered one of the best hookers of the Championship, Liam Hood (Hunslet) will be the shirt of the Reds next season, while winger Francis Meli will soon announce his retirement at the end of season.
Just found on a French website.

Officially signed for next season!

Apparently the reason Liam Hood left Leeds was because he had a spat with Ryan Bailey, the latter coming off the worst.

I hope that is true.

Can't say I've heard much about him but lets hope he's a good signing. Seems to have cut his teeth at Hunslet.

Interesting?

Who will be our player to move there?

'Hawks today confirmed they have reached an agreement with Salford which will see the Super League club pay a transfer fee for Hood - with a Red Devils first team player joining Hunslet on a season-long loan next year in part-exchange.'

An excellent signing for the Championship in 2016.

You sir are a comedy genius, how long did it take for you to come up with that?

Are you a regular in the AJ Bell end?

I have a spare ticket for tonight now, I'm just waiting for the ambulance to turn up as my sides have split. I'd let you have it but I doubt the pony and trap could make it over the hills in time for kick off.

Simple answer no, Files was just better. Like i said Player of the year !!

We currently have a lot out on loan but they dont seem to get any first team games. The likes of Ford, Davidson and Tyson spring to mind. If you look at the other super league clubs they're blooding their younsters much more than we are!! Our long term success depends on this and i hope llestyn addresses this in the next few years..

We cant keep waiting for other clubs failures to make it in the championship then sign them.
