Like you say Simon is an off loading forward (36 offloads) I don't know if that gives people the impression he makes more mistakes & imo he's a completely different from England or Korkidas . Maybe he is more suited to the back row and we'd get even more out of him there. Saying that he's an effective Prop for us, who's done a decent job there and the effort he puts in is never in question .

Where you getting this from? Why release an English hooker to bring in an Aussie halfback. I wouldn't have thought they'd be connected, especially as he's our only out and out Hooker.

Re: Five New Signings : Sun Oct 02, 2016 9:51 pm  

Didn't see the Moore thing coming, i hope we have a quality replacement lined up as he is one of our better players.

Wrong again

Re: Five New Signings : Sun Oct 02, 2016 10:29 pm  

You had better speak to Scott Moore because it is what he said to league express. He also confirmed that he had offers from several other SL clubs but hey why should he know better than you.

Re: Five New Signings : Sun Oct 02, 2016 10:36 pm  

Don't know who this Simone is.

I've just read the League Express and he doesn't say that. All it says is that he's been offered to a number of clubs the past week and is a free agent. They then say that news of Moores potential departure follows Wakefield's Capture of Williams. Then it goes on to talk about Williams and what he had to say about his move and they deduce that he signed for just for one year because he has ambitions of a return to the NRL. Scott Moore says nothing to the LE, unless I'm reading a different LE dated 3rd October.

It also interviews Lunt, who basically says he hasn't a clue what's happening next year at the moment.

Re: Five New Signings : Mon Oct 03, 2016 6:12 am  

Really suprised about Moore. Let's hope we have a decent replacement lined up cos I don't see a ready made one,in the current squad and our distribution from acting half and running from dummy half were much better when Moore was playing.

I know he gave some penalties away and played on the edge but I always thought he was a decent defender in a team that doesn't have many

Re: Five New Signings : Mon Oct 03, 2016 6:27 am  

I have rated Scott but obviously Chester thinks he can be replaced with better. Maybe better is just someone who spends a bit less time at Red Hall. Maybe Lunt will push a hooker out at his destination club? Sounds thought out though rather than unplanned. Lets wait and see.

Hopefully not going to rely on Liam Finn or Kyle Wood though.

Kyle Wood is linked to Leeds according to the press.
