I was talking to Broughy this morning.

And......come on BLM!

I was attending a game in my scouting role so I can’t and won’t disclose what our conversation was about but he seemed happy and relaxed.

wow that's the spirit, two good seasons and your more bothered about 11th

I was told today from a good source that Broughy signed a two year contract with us earlier this week. The source did not know why it's not announced yet.

How am I only bothered about finishing 11th? Reality is last few years we wouldn't have been able to take a gamble on a maverick like Brough at his age since if it backfired we could have easily ended up in the bottom four and fighting for our lives. Pressure's off now though really so we can take the risk with a signing like that, if it works out we might end up in the play offs, if it doesn't oh well, we'll still be at least above London and nowhere near going down. Can put more into trying for a good cup run too since there's less jeopardy in the league.

ffsake

what the hell difference does it make

King has been in the frame for months, god only knows when he actually signed, could have been months ago but it wasn't announced officially until recently.
The club are gonna do what's best for both themselves and the player(s) in question with regard to signature announcements, no idea why fans think that should go out the window just so that they can know.

I was surprised to see Keinhorst on the list to leave Leeds and thought he was a decent player, one that we might make a bid on.
Turns out he'd signed for HKR waaaaay back in the mists of time and was never open to offers, yet that wasn't "official" till the last gasps of the S8's.
Doubtless, the people that need to know...knew.
Information is a useful tool if you use it wisely, spilling your guts to the masses every 5 minutes throws that advantage away.
The club will make the announcement when the time is right, not the second the ink hits the paper.
Now can we move the on.

Tbf without speculation in the offseason this place would be dead.

Its gonna be a loooong off season then

I might just log off till February...

No probs. It's just mischief isn't it, trying to sneak confirmation of what we all suspect!
As long as it doesn't take as long as good news about a new stadium, I can wait!

It would be a short conversation if you were talking about the terriers.

there you go mate, that might explain why.

It's the same just about every offseason though isn't it mate.
Since I've been a member on here and before that, rumors about who we've signed are talked about one way or the other and depending on who they are can divide opinion, it's par for the course and at least keeps this place active. I'm not sure why a few people are almost demanding we don't talk about a possible signing whether you're in favor or not, what's the point of this place otherwise? Like I said before it'd be dead without these conversations about who's signed next season

At last the best kept secret now confirmed Danny signs 2 year deal ! On Trinity website

When was the last time we announced a signing on a Saturday as well?

And with all your contact's in the know

The big question for me is ! If there is another platey along with Scott going to Huddersfield who is it? We have signed to props so is it one of our props from last season who did'nt quite make the grade!

Welcome back Danny. Hope you enjoy your time here.

Baldwinson?

This one surprises me because of his age, on field and off field problems and it is a position we had covered. A two year deal for a player of his age is unusual, I hope he does not follow our previous bad boys.
It is too late now and I hope we can straighten him out but after so many years of problems I have my doubts.

I believe last year they showed interest in Keegan Hurst. New coach since then so maybe not relavent.

Great signing, he will take advantage of the forwards that are here and punish teams on the back of their work which is something Trinity have struggled to do.

He’s predominantly a right to left passer and a left sided halfback so I expect Ashurst, Tupou and Johnstone to really see the benefit.

Far from being disruptive I expect he’ll take the drive for higher standards to another level.

As for Full Back , I wouldn’t be surprised to see Luke Hooley become the first choice before the seasons over, If not this year then next

Nar shifty he's already gone! I'm hearing now its only a rumour about the +1

Optimism for the new season really sapped out of me with this confirmation. 2 year deal for a 36 year old too? Bizarre.

Still, all I can do is see how it goes.

In cc and mc we trust!
