what about the fat ginner. surely he's worth a go?
I think the difficulty is that he is on a part time contract so could not train with the first team. Part time players are okay for the odd game but we need a front row for a month or more.
I would bring someone in as I think we need some firepower in the front row until Moore, Stosic or Bibby return. Stosic and Bibby are 8 weeks plus away and I heard that Moore could be 4 to 6 weeks.
funny that, i said the other day that if things drop right we are all set for a cup run, wed have a hell of a pack available in about 8 weeks all fresh and all raring!
he was approached in pre season but matterson wouldnt let him go but now hes not getting any first team game time i believe waky have asked for him for a spell on loan again. thats what i was told in lloyds bar by his agent anyway
I defo think we need at least one other out and out prop forward.
IMHO I think we missed out big time on not signing Thackray up last season when we had the chance. He's exactly the type of big, strong, aggresive forward we are missing in my opinion.
If he's not getting into the Hull side then I think we should defo be interested in taking him on loan if possible.
Korki will not make the team at Shudds and he maybe another option. kear had him playing well before he left and I'm sure JK and Beans could weave their magic with him.
Other than a few options thats already been mentioned, I'm not sure there's that many other options available in SL.
IMHO I'd be tempted to look in NL1 and see if there's any more rough diamonds we can tempt to join us. The big lad Simpson at Batley must surely be worth a look. He's got the size. If we could get him fit he "could" potential be worth a gamble.
I'm sure there are a few players i can't think of now in SL who aren't currently making their relevant club starting 17 but would they be right for us?

When was that then We never had the chance because we were never willing to pay the cash he wanted and duly pee off the rest of the pack and use up every spare penny we had. Stosic was a far better option - the fact that he is now injured is a hindsight issue. It's never that simple, at the start of this season we had 4 out and out props and three others capable of playing in the front row, it would have been lunacy to sign anymore. Sometimes the dice won't tumble your way, but by july we might have Moore and Bibey back and there won't be a problem.

Also, if his recovery and rehab go to plan Stosic should be back early June.
