RE. Hitchcox, isn't part of his visa that he must play a certain number of games to stay in the country? Even though a higher club may want him, this may be in his thinking.


Isn't it nice we are in an off-season, feeling positive, a decent season overall, feeling positive about the next one, and no off-field drama. When's the last time that happened?

Plenty of time yet

Just looked at the Gazette...No mention of us since Gung-Ho Green lost the plot....

Let's hope this signals a very boring and trauma free winter and Christmas.

Beat me to it!

Hitchcox I agree would be great to nail down. We probably need additional strength in the back line though - not sure Oakes and Rickett have had enough time to prove they can step up.

If Hitchcox signs we've got 4 wingers with Ryan, Grant and Foggin-wotsit. Not sure where Rickett fits in either.

I think Oakes still has improvement in him. He did well in the pressure game on Sunday. With Webster and Gibson being 1st choice there's definitely room for him. I'd love to sign Egodo but I think Cas may want him with Webster going and Shenton knocking on.

I think Webster will be brilliant for Ross Oakes. Ross like many others probably played a lot of games before he was quite ready.

I don’t know about any of you guus but after our promotion I was expecting a couple more player announcements than we have had...?

Might have signed some from Wigan and Wolves and don't want to give them the yips in the GF.

I have watched him a few times and it a little unfair to say he knock's on a bit.
