Signing 2 former SOO, International and current starting NRL forwards is panic buying?
What a strange statement to make.

I wouldn't call it strange but more like ridiculous.

I suppose the 3 you have is 3 too many in that case.

We have the same number of quota spaces as every other team, we arent breaking any rules. In addition to the fact there are no British options available at scrum half that are as good as what is overseas. So let us do our recruitment and worry about your own team.

thanks for pointing that out, only 3, the way all clubs should be going, just seems hull kr arent

All teams should have more than 5000 fans, especially when top of the league. But dont.....

Yes a reduction from 9 to 6 proves we are not going in that direction at all in much the same way that 2 former SOO, International and current NRL forwards are panic buys.


My bigger concern for you is that I don't think you are trolling

It is a shame but many of the advances made under the licensing system will be thrown away now.

Why do so many assume we'll be in the relegation places? Since our debut season we've only finished outside the top 7 once.

we were tipped for the bottom 3 by most for this season, 6th with 5 games to go pretty much answers the tipsters and trolls alike

I also think we are being hard done to, with many saying we should be cut for the 12. As you mentioned our positions have been in the top 8, barring one season. We are one of the only clubs to have actually carried out our promises and finally improved our stadium substantially. We also have a good away following, a youth set up which is started to progress and also we bring the only derby to Rugby league.

Lee Briers, signed a new '12 month deal' at Wire....'mind games' worked Lee, well done. Maybe when he's 40, will play for SwINton !!!

Yep. If they ever have a team of that name.

He's played for Swinton this season

But not Swniton.

ha ha....edited

where do you stand with the Nicholas situation for a scrum half? experienced aussie or british solution?

The best player possible while remaining within the RFL rules and HKR budget.

Are you asking if we should give Danny Nicklas the 7 shirt for 2013?

Short answer - no.

Slight qualification - If he's impressing in training, then something like number 21 might be a possibility. Rumours of an under 23 comp next year, for which I assume he'd be eligible, if it came to pass.

Is Nicklas on trial? I have no idea what his/Rovers' situation is on this one. It seems an odd one from both perspectives to sign for Rovers midway through the season and swap regular first team rugby for nothing at all.

Hasn't he been playing for Gateshead?

No idea.

Does anybody know if any of our current players such as alex brown have signed extensions?

What's the goal kicking plan next season? At the moment it just looks like Craig Hall. Is he guaranteed a starting place? What happens if / when he's injured? Could really do with one of the new signings to be a kicker.

Burns can do half a job kicking I think, but yeah ideally need a good kicker as fc have found out in recent weeks it can cost you games!

Did you see Travis kicking earlier in the season? Should be a last resort, not 2nd choice. Lots of close games these days, will cost us if we don't get it sorted.
