Just seen this myself. Is this the one who nearly went full length against us at home?

Yes I would take him.

I mentioned him a few weeks ago.

If I remember rightly he had a stormer against us at BV earlier this year.

A big unit too if I recall.

No!!!

Didn't Chester release him from hull kr??

He was coming to you last season but Warrington came with a late bid and he went there but like you say that was before Chester took over

Obviously we need to wait until all recruitment is done but with fifita looking less and less likely, Anderson and scruton going, possibly along with Yates, our front row needs heavy investment.
Money would be better saved and used on better than Cox

Knowing us we're more likely to sign Ryan Bailey

I don't think Cox would be any improvement on what we already have, or that are outgoing. However, we're losing a few forwards so he would make up the numbers.

In answer to the question yes he went almost full length of pitch against us

Poor defender, not what we need, we need to sign forwards who can defend. Worst defence in the league for past two seasons, not rocket science what we need , Cox does not fit the bill.

Clearly we are signing him, if we wern't you'd be telling us how good he was.

Heard nothing on that one Vasty, the signings I have heard that have been made are much worse that Cox !!!

That would be "worse" in your humble opinion, probably not one shared by most.

It was you who said Fafita was gash after one game wasn't it

Stay well clear, the reason we released him is he has a poor attitude and doesn't like working hard, can't see chessie being interested

Right on time, the typical HKR fans response to anyone who leaves them - even thier Chairmans at it now. Thanks all the same.

Have a bad feeling that the next signing will be Bailey on a one year deal

Lets be honest there's slim pickings as far as Props.

I certainly hope not.

Jordan was a great prospect but didn't seem to kick on it didn't help that he had his spleen removed and by his own admission found it difficult to train at times feeling drained etc the writing was on the wall for him at our place when we were down to one prop the season before last and Chester still wouldn't pick him so I doubt he'll end up with you

Not at all, quite happy to tell you how good Adam walker is as a prop (despite being as thick as a brick) before you lads sign him, but coxy's attitude is terrible, he used to kill it in the academy scoring tries every week with his natural talent without even trying. Unfortunately it's something he took into his professional career, it's a real shame because he's got talent but if you sign him and I'd be amazed if chessie does, you will be disappointed

What would be so bad about signing Bailey? Very few props can match his playing career . 307 games for Leeds, 6 Grand Final rings, 8 GB/Eng caps and still only 31. Put personality aside and think logically,

Although I think he was very fortunate with his winner's record, I would not be totally against him donning the RW&B. At 31 maybe he's grown up a bit and perhaps some of his arrogance stayed at the Rhinos? We need forwards with aggression that can tire the opposition; beggars can't be choosers.
As first interchange, Uncle John to look after him and on the right deal, I wouldn't say no.

I think if we sign Bailey we will continue to be beggars because if he is the quality of player we are looking to recruit then we will have given up all hope of progressing.

Both Kelly and Bailey fit the bill. Kelly is a pivot, we know that JK loves Pivots. Plus Bailey - anyone remember JK's bad lads army? Could get interesting!

I am sorry but have things got so bad that we actually think signing Bailey is a good move. We ridiculed Castleford for signing him, the only reason we would do so now is to fill a squad number on the cheap.
