Just thought i'd bring this list back up, at the start of the season I didn't think we'd need any of them. Now i'd take pretty much any of the backs and some of the forwards.

And the whole point of the license process was to generate young british talent

What was it then - to get you to move out of Odslum?

Rinaldi started as a scrum half and has played stand off in his time. As we are down to two fit players to cover the three main pivot positions, attempting to recruit someone with this profile is absolutely the right thing to do, and while I have doubts about Rinaldi's quality and consistency, I'd be surprised if there were many other options.

As for Horton, given that he's not named in the squad, wouldn't we require special permission - not to mention probably an upgrade to a full time contract - to play him?

Don't think so, we had to play two part timers against Hull KR this season and they have remained on part time contracts, if they're registered with the club then I believe they are eligible for selection.

Decent move for two months TBH. If he does well I am sure it can be extended.

Despite my earlier comments, a two month deal clearly makes sense.

Agree, certainly appears to be a good stop gap.

I'd assume that there's scope to extend his deal should we need it. Thing is, what has he been doing since his release from quins? Cos if he's not in a state where he can get match fit very quickly it's all a bit pointless
