I know it makes you weep - looks like an early nomination for this seasons whipping boy does Peterson

Yeh gives Hendo and Bibbey a break.

Whilst disagreeing with the way he has put his opinion across, I think I would rather have Halley in the side as apposed to Peterson who has, as of yet, flattered to deceive and appears a little injury prone.

As he only signed an 18 month (I think?) contract this may be his last season with Trinity and I don’t think the club have had value for money out of him. This may change when he gets macth fit again, but we'll have to wait and see.

At least another year after this!

Ah, so there is time yet!

That's one way to look at it - yes!

I think people are being a little harsh on the lad, he hasn't been able to string together many appearances. It isn't his fault he's been unlucky with injuries, i'm sure once he is back to full fitness we'll see what a top player the lad is.

As for Halley, he looks a very attack minded player who can also cover fullback which could be very useful (touch wood Blaymire doesn't get injured). He looks dangerous from returns and is an enthusiastic and willing runner. As always it would depend on how much he wants

He does not get on with Mcnamara, so if they dont get any injuries on the wing and Platt has a decent game once in a while we may keep him longer.

I heard it on rumour that Blanch may leave at the end of the year. Could affect our thinking over Halley.

As he’s off contract then it’s entire possible. He may be attracting attention from a few of the bigger clubs, especially if he keeps his try to match ratio up.

thought id read somewhere that blanch was going too a irish rugby union side next season when his contract was up munster or ulster or something ? i might be wrong

Scored the same amount of tries last year as Fox in around 60% of the games; expect alot of tries from him this year too so if he left you have to question do you sign Halley leaving:

Halley: young lad, played three first team games.
George: another young guy yet to play a full season and coming back from a year out (both promsing youngsters)
Peterson: yet to string three games together.

or do you have to go out and buy someone who you know is going to play and is proven defensively? Personally I don't want to see Blanch go, but if he does I would like to see the young English lads given a chance. I say this since I am led to believe that a hefty percentage of signings (aussie ones) are tied up by the end of Spring.

we could even go out and buy one: i like the look of Fox at KR

Beware the badge kisser.

Not very happy about the 48 hour call back clause. So what if he's still legally Bradford's player, it's very naughty of them, especially considering that our squad's down to the bare bones as it is. Still, at least we've got this highly talented player for another month. If he has another good month, lets get him signed for the season and who knows, fix up something more permenant.

Dave, its a real joy to have you in our team!!!

Apparently it's standard practise to put in a 48 hour call-back clause on loan deals that are extended beyond the initial one month loan period.

You read that on here. If I'm not mistaken, the source was the Cas fan with the avatar of a fat bloke in an England bra. You make up your own mind...

Could one of the moderators please remove this posting and ban the poster as this is personal abuse.

Thank you.

did not scully have a bad start, hardly his fault having injuries,
in 32 years of engineering, I have had two nasty accidents and they was in the space of 9 months but it doesn't make me a bad engineer


stop before you say yes

no toilet facilities then?

got me there

Talking to a young lad in the crowd at tonights game who played acadamy with both Atkins and Halley at the bulls hit, he knew Halley well (appeared genuine, albeit slightly

). He reckoned Halley is loving it with us, and as the earlier post stated, Mcnamara does not like him, alledgedly not big enough and they dont get on. He'd sign for us, but Celtic Crusaders are interested and are offering better money.

Yes we are interested, i heard a few talk about it at the Hull game.

To be honest though, you can have him.... i prefer the Welsh Internationals to be spread out a bit, not just the usual Crusaders, Bradford, Halifax, Oldham as it seemed last season...



Youve got a super lad on your hands though, all the best for thsi year guys n gals.

get him signed
