One year extension though, which runs until the end of next season. Middle part of next season should be the time to expect something by.

Maybe not, but I'd agree with others that it's only an up yours if he picks Broughton ahead of him. At the moment it's fair to say we are in need of both.

Ah right, I mis-read it.

In that case the squad list needs updating - mods, over to you.

i would love to see craig hall play on friday alongside jodie broughton,but somehow i can't see it happening.i think jodie would prefer to play rugby next year,so i i think if we were to offer him a deal he would take it rather than go to the day job that he has trained for.i also don't think he would command too much,salary wise.good back-up to raynor and calderwood.

Nowt wrong with it - it says he's signed up until the end of 2010, which he is.

Apologies, the language in the article is a bit unclear, the "signed up until the end of the 2010 season" could have done with an "is now" before it.

I'd like to see them in the same side, but if by alongside each other you mean on the same side of the pitch I'd be terrified.

so would i,but after the tosh i witnessed last week at cas,anything is worth a try!!

Not looking at this weeks squad its not.

Important word, Squad.

I hope I am wrong and Hall plays, and I hope he has a blinder.

Either way Hall is in and Broughton isn't, that was my point in connection with your comment.

Yeah, I understood that Paul.

Seems odd to me, keeping a loan player but not playing them.

Only guess I could make is as cover and also a chance to look at him further and then decide whether or not to keep him?

Quite

"Hi Jodie, would you like to stay on loan with us for the rest of this year at least?"

"Yes please!"

"Great, you're dropped for Friday"

Seems reasonably obvious to me. Provided we're not paying him much unless he plays then he offers cover and he continues to train with the squad so he can slot in if required. What's so strange about that ? It would be far stranger to send him back to Leeds and then have to do all the paperwork again the next time 2 outside backs get injured, which in case people hadn't noticed does happen fairly regularly.

I'd be pleased to sign him as cover, however we should also expect Jack Briscoe to offer that. FWIW i reckon Jodie will be at wire next season.

Why this guy dropped from the squad when Caldewrwood not properly fity. Its a disgrace he has scored s few this year he must be sick

You can please all of the people some of the time...

Can't agree with that. If Calderwood and Raynor are both fit to play, they should play. Calderwood got enough runs on the board before his injury to warrant coming straight back into the team.

Ditto.

Are you for real?

Calderwood must be fit or he wouldnt be back,hes the best option for me so should go stright back into the team ,but i hope we can make room for broughton next year i think he is a real prospect and worth a squad place

And pretty quick.....We have been missing our missing speedsters, so Broughton has been a revelation. I don't know what we are in for as regards to the rest of this season.....but with the pack Agar is assembling along with the pacy wingers and centres.....We should do well. I see Tom Briscoe is 'limpless' now, so should be almost ready to terrorise opposition defences again soon!
