Tbh Addy looked very busy in the first half and didn't shy away when it came to tackling . didn't seem to pack much punch if I'm being honest though !!

OK I'll nibble on the Taylor bait . IMHO I think he's done enough to keep his place in the 17 at the expense of Cooper .
Williams and widdup at 6+7
Bateman back in for Farrell for me ,not that it will matter as I dry bumming is on the cards I'd imagine

That you've used it twice might suggest that the entry level rhetorical trick that is the circular argument is a new and exciting discovery for you.



Sheens will be judged at Hull KR on the results his team delivers. He's got the pedigree and experience that his immediate predecessors lacked, which is encouraging and reassuring. Addy offers versatility and by championship standards (which are those it is most sensible for us to judge by) decent quality.
That, with the exception of Greenwood, we're seemingly going with a lightweight backrow again, does make me a bit nervous after the last couple of years. Balance or style of play, rather than class.

Edit - are interchanges still going to be reduced for 2017?

I suspect you lost him at "that".

This post made me think that you are the Eric Morecambe to Mild Rover's Ernie Wise.

That would make you Anthea Redfearn.

Hastings isn't realistic but Quinlan could be an option.

I would imagine Tim will have some fringe young Aussie lined up, didn't Quinlan play full back while at saints?

Yeah, full-back at Saints but utility player, sure he plays in the halves as well.

Think I read he's without a club? We need some experience in the halves ideally but bobbys much better in the back row

I like your name.

Why thank you

I have heard from a reliable source that you have signed a young half back from the NRL, who couldn't get game time there due to 2 very experienced players in the pecking order ahead of him.

That would do nicely

My source has also told me that he can also play full back and centre, so could be a useful signing for you guys.

Your squad is coming together nicely.

Hope you get straight back in SL guys, your fans and patties at East Park chippy are great

Hope this is Quinlan

I could see him playing fullback

Robbie mulhearn signed on for next season.

Sheens has just said in an interview on Hull KR. TV after today's first preseason training session that the club will be aiming to sign another 4 new players from other clubs before the start of the season.

Adam quinlan the full back from saints is one of them apparently,if I remember correctly didn't he score a hat trick on his debut.Would be a cracking signing,only 23.

from last season's squad who hasn't resigned/retired/been moved on yet. I have
Mantellato
Allgood
Larroyer
Boudebza
Kelly
Have I missed anyone ?
I don't expect Allgood to resign and Kelly's history. But what's happening with our French connection ?

Thought French john had gone to be honest can't see any of them staying

The Larroyer from his first season with us, he was excellent, but the Larroyer from the last few seasons has been nothing but next to useless or injured. He will be moving on I'm sure.

Boudebza was on a really modest contact & we offered only a slight improvement. Hope he gets fixed up somewhere.

Catalan rumoured

I had a quick with Josh today and as you can imagine he wasn't giving much away but he did say when I asked the inevitable question about him staying he said "if we was still in SL I would" , make of that what you will .
