I'm sure I read in here somewhere we had a signed a young hooker from Warrington, anyone got anyone information on he signing?

I found it, called Denive Balmforth, watched him play for Yorkshire in the academy game, looked a good player.

Played with Nick Staverley at Stanningly, so that must be the connection.

... Denive Balmforth, from Warrington.

The connection is probably Pete Riding (new Head of Youth), also from Warringtion Wolves.

Good point, forgot about him.

How many hookers do we need!

Do we have any good young hookers coming through?

Jordan Johnstone

Is he here yet?

Liam Watts on loan? According to the 8 page Radford Out thread on the Cas Forum him and Radford not all harmonious. https://www.casforum.co.uk/forum/viewto ... &start=140 I'm joking obviously but still think Watts departure was a pivotal point for us and imagine both sides have regrets.

100% have him back if it's possible, not sure what the relationship is like with some players and Pearson.

Think if he left he would go to Warrington.

Agree that Watts leaving was a pivotal however we do not want to bring him back, have we not learnt after the Fonoa situation, Watts is not the player he was, Westerman is doing more in that pack

I'm with you on that one. Losing Watts was a massive blow as at the time he was one of the best props in the league. He now just looks like an average middle of the road player. I'm sure he's still got good games left in him, but I wouldn't be fussed at all about him coming back.

For a team that's poor on discipline, why on earth would we have Watts back?

He was a liability last time he was here, rewind back to the headbutts.

Funny enough his head but against Crosby, that particular match I think we won.
Liam is only around 31, his form may of dipped slightly, but as they say form is temporary, around four years he’s been gone, and boy he was missed.

Should he come back for one last hurrah with Tag, and Big Chris, it’s a yes from me.

That the tag who we can't get fit?

He d be another constantly suspended or adding to our sin bins and poor penalty and errors against.

Big no thanks, scratching my head on here lately.

Were crying out for a reliable workhorse prop, who can back Sao, Evans and Satae up.

Think we got Tag in good shape pre season, unfortunately you can’t legislate for injuries, I believe he’ll come back strong this season, but I’m an optimist, and always hope everything works out well for the team I love.

Anyhow it’s nice to be able to walk up this week without raging snow & rain storms, cum on yu ull.

Now confirmed by the club

Balmforth is an excellent young 9, really good signing for you.

Played in the same Stanningley team as Nick Staveley, where both of them were exceptional, Pete Riding then took them both to Warrington for scholorship. Now reunited with you.

Scored for the reserves on his debut yesterday. Beat Salford something like 42-22 (can't remember exactly but something along those lines).

Rumour Jack Broadbent for a month
