It is all beginning to sound like a plot for the Jeremy Kyle show.

Didn't we have some dressing room unrest last season too when a couple of players moved on & left us with a gaping hole in the pack ?

Mark I wasn't calling you the empty vessel - more the fringe players on the wrong side of the split. I am sure your information is sound.
I'm no genius so here goes - am I close?

Penny
The New Improved Lineham?
Dwyer
Johnson
Harrison
Wheeler
Cox
Bailey

So Mark is it not down to Mr Smith to root out the bad apples or not?

Frankly don't care if it's a marquee signing or the lowest paid players on the books, if they're destabilising the squad then they can do one.

Also Mr Smith also has to take his share of the blame for bringing in one of the rumoured destabilising factors, on the premise he'd changed

Smith is not a one man recruitment team though so definitely not solely down to him but he does seem to have a habit of bearing a grudge against players, Hodgson being a well documented example.

I think Tony does get some bad advice on player signings and on who to promote from within.

whats the crack with hodgo then, its been 3 years since he's gone, its been alluded to twice this week, what was the story on the breakdown between him and the club.

I said on another thread last week there could be an announcement about a British based prop. It's likely to be sometime after the GF I guess, I remember that being the case when we signed England. I just hope it isn't him again!
I said it's likely Cox and/or Bailey will go.

I don't know, it could be personal or daft. What I do know and this is no secret, everyone could see, is Lee B and Brett H were like the best of mates on twitter, always msg each other like no tomorrow. The week leading to the GF they stopped...coincidence?.... I've never seen a tweet between them since...make of it what you will.... Whatever it was, TS saw reason to play LB and BH got dropped and was out the door straight after the GF.
Like I said this was completely social media, no rumour here.

Hodgsons wife had quite a lot to say about it.

She did. Best left at that. I think there is enough for FMC to satisfy his Q? Without breaking forum practise.

Coaches usually have their favourites and their whipping horses. It is usually clear in our club who the latter are. The "whys" are far from clear. The Brett Hodgson thing left a nasty taste (without being aware of what went on).
Nothing new however, remember how Mark Forster was dealt with on leaving compared to certain "Johnny come latelies"?

Fozzie did ok at Widnes. They treated far better than Warrington. I don't think he regretted it anyway.

Can we park this line of discussion until next week guys. Not trying to brush the issues under the carpet but most fans are looking forward to the GF, a rare occasion for any club. There are also supporters from other clubs loving the trend of this topic at moment, I know that from personal experience.
Next seasons recruits for me, props, centre and speedy strong winger.

We are certainly in for Solomona, but his next destination will be kick and clap from what i am hearing. Which is a complete waste of a talented player!!

Sale have out bid us apparantly. He needs to get his thermals ready for a cold winter stuck out on the wing doing nothing if true.

Heard the same pal

Dont they have wingers in RU? Is that sale with Solomona and Charnley next season?

I did post over a week ago Solomona I'd definitely up for Sale. It went over a few heads I think.

www.casforum.co.uk/forum/viewtop ... 39&t=28387 From the cas forum . They think Solomona is going for about £300K.

Huby told he can go from giants 2 years into a 4 yr deal, granted he's been dog dirt this season, but with a good off season, At 30, And a big boy, could be useful bench prop.

Well we've signed someone

We've signed Dom Crosby from Wigan

Jack Hughes best mate so it would make sense.

I like Crosby but he does seem to be in a bit of a comfort zone at our place.

A dream pre-Christmas signing. Just like the ones we used to know.
When we signed Allan Bateman, Chris Rudd, Gary Sanderson
Jon Kear told us where to go, where to go go go go

Are you sure ? You don't normally allow a good quality player to go over to one of your rivals. Player swap involved perhaps ?

Dom put Jack 1st in his MOS vote.
Nice one but not yet. Can see him winning it tho great young player.
