Apart from Moore, there has been nothing at all reported about any other signings so again don't try guessing until it as been officially reported and you won't feel let down.

I never feel let down!! Well except that one time where the official report said a huge signing who was really good......and it ended up being Richie Mathers

I was going by what reverready? said on the Rochdale match thread. I thought maybe it was better here for signings etc?

Yep I saw what he posted and it seems to have set a lot of people getting their hopes up again. It's even on the banter Facebook page but what I'm saying is we don't want to get everyone's hopes up without at least a bit of evidence.
Maybe his lad is in the junior team so will obviously know about all the secret negotiations

To be fair I am on that Banter page and there are a lot of good knowledgeable people on there....mixed with some complete idiots who have no idea about the game of Rugby League

Oh god please don't start that again

As I said last week Moore, Smith and Larroyer would make a massive difference, coupled with Phoenix (the unknown) and a couple of forward (the union guys).

I liked the effort yesterday we were just out muscled and a little inexperienced.
Rochdale were stronger in the forwards and played a hard hitting game, as well as old manning us and been off side not allowing us to get going, slowing the play the ball as much as they could...their coach had the measure of us I think.

Toovey is going to have to be aware of the above and prepare for this in the championship.

wonder what Stanley Gene is doing these days... must still have a year or two left in him?

Re: Re-signings & new coach : Mon Feb 13, 2017 12:12 pm  

If we get Moore on a pay as you play , then im ok with it. Will bring much needed grunt and size in the middle. These muddy conditions suit Moores style of play.

Plus we wouldn't need to sort him a car out as he can use his bus pass.

It would be good to know what the expectations of ChaLo are for this season.Are we just preparing for next year as a Ch1 team or are we hoping to stay in the CH?

My hope is that Lowe would come up trumps with some overseas players since home grown ones are signed up.

So far he's come up with a 7s player who's also played a bit of touch rugby.

I'm hoping he does better over the next few weeks.

Same here. Not impressed at all with Phoenix.

I reckon they probably have some kind of past relationship other than G Lowe watched him play.
