Agree with what's been said, almost sounds like desperation to just bring any player in.....unless at the last minute we release JK to the Bulls early today. It seems we are going to rely on being able to draw on DR from Leeds. Bearing in mind they have just loaned Ruan out to Hull now, then if they any injuries now at back end of season, they will be less inclined to supply.

We can't use DR now,thats one of the issues.Ruan wasnt even championship standard,but we all know about Grix and recruitment..although Keyes is leaving...he does seem up for the fight,so i'd be surprised if he moves today but if it frees money for a forward it makes the Morgan signing make sense..

Can't help but think it looks like a jobs for the boys signing.

What has any of what’s happening now got to do with Simon Grix?
But since you mentioned it what about him bringing in the likes of Walmsley, Keyes and Joufrett who all played a big part in our better seasons of late.

All people want to talk about being wise after the event is anyone who they wouldn’t have signed, where it didn’t work out and either underperformed or left.

There’s as many players who have left or gone backwards under Finn and he’s planning to sign a number of players from Dewsbury a side that’s going to be relegated and another dependant on us not likewise being relegated under his leadership but nothing said about that.

I’m not solely blaming Finn there’s never just one reason or one person involved in a sporting team environment.

Finn in the week when we release a prop has brought in Kai ( I don’t have to guess what would have been said if Grix had done that ) and the money saved from Lannon’s release should be able to be used for a replacement.

If Finn and the club agree to release Keyes to Bradford at this stage of the season whatever the reason would be simply madness.

I only meant Grix signing Ruan for Hull-nothing deeper..
We've now got a prop from Doncaster to replace Lannon and as a Fax lad should be up for it..

Yes I know what you meant and linked his decision to take Ruan who you don’t rate after seeing him for for half a game with Grix’s signing judgment whilst at Fax.

No idea on the Lad from Doncaster just hope he just gets ripped in and Matt Shaw did say “ the first deal of the day. “
Whether that means for us or just in general?

PS: I was hoping we could get Seb Ikanihifo in early from Giants but he played last night.

If your expecting a big aggressive middle then you are going to be very very disappointed , in three seasons at Doncaster I can't recall him breaking a tackle.
He is a big lad with a heart the size of a pea ,if you thought Ruan was poor then hold my beer.

Thought Ruan played 2 full anonymous games for us but it doesnt matter..let's just hope Keelan and any other incomings fit the bill.
