And we have a winner.

cordoba probably has an EU passport according to the Aussie forums.

Could not agree more, we have good backs who just don't get the room or ball to play. With a competitive pack and better distribution from the halves our backline is more than capable of causing teams problems.

I've looked up Healey on the Raiders web site........no player of that name in their 1st team or Toyota cup team

Hull fc website, Cordoba joins us short term contract, Spanish passport

I agree the pack is the priority, and I am also fairly happy with our recruitment so far. I just think that ideally a bit more experienced option at fullback would have been nice. As you say though, you can only do so much at a time and hopefully Tansey will do well for us there.

With Cordoba and Lauaki bolstering us soon, I would hope that the signs of us trying to play rugby continue as well. Even if we keep losing games, so long as we're working on improving performances and getting away from 5 drives and a kick so that those coming in next year can do so to make a more competitive and entertaining team.

Would never have guessed it

That's one hell of an assumption!

Hola,apenas el intentar ser provechoso pero alli es allways alguien que quiere tomar el .

Siempre a alguien tratando de tomar el mickey

As always

Where did this talk of Callum Heally come from anyhow?

IrishTom posted a rumour a page or two back.

I don't know who he is, and I cannot find any info about him.

I think that says it all then !!!

apologies if this link to the Rooney interest is already up somewhere:

Isn't Rooney another Thorman?



I liked Rooney a few seasons back but he doesn't appear to have ripped up any trees over the past two years. I could be wrong but why are we interested in Wakey cast off's...plus how old is he?

I'm not even sure what position they're focusing on with him - do they want him at 6?

I have him down as a 6!

Me too. Does that mean Long at 7, Rooney at 6, Horne somewhere else?

But to go back to the original question, whats the different between Rooney and Thorman?

I'd rather stick with R Horne at 6 than either of them. Would be an odd signing for me. (maybe would have been good a few years ago, as Thorman may have been)

Possibly or maybe we don't go for him full stop! Like i said earlier i liked Rooney of a few years back but he seems to have gone off the boil (and why is he at Barrow if he is SL quality?!).

Agar said he wanted backup for the halves and maybe he sees Rooney as the option. I would certainly be happier bringing in Rooney than I would Thorman.

Really interesting what you say there WW because a few years back, or make that 2 years back, he was the name I feared on their team sheet he ran really well in the line and always caused us problems, perhaps the pressures surrounding his sons illness have something to do with it or perhaps as some Wakey fans would insinuate he has issues with the coach? Not top calibre though at present, we seem to be linked and signing a lot of "Were Good" but not at present, folks at the moment!

I heard Hull wanted Rooney on loan but Wakefield declined it.
