Decent signing for you guys

Re: Mitch Allgood : Tue Oct 25, 2016 4:58 pm  

If true, reasonable player.

Also due to my reckoning it would mean no Fifita or hopefully tupou, unless he has a Eurpean passport.

It would mean Fifita imo, it doesn't matter if he has a European passport, he's non fed trained and counts on quota.

Just looking at the comings and going

Forwards

Looks like fifita, anderson, yates and scruton out replaced by allgood and hurst

moore out williams in making finn a forward

utilities

hall, tansy out grix in

frankly am a bit underwhelmed at moment and if this is right can't see much other than us getting smashed in forwards which was our fundamental problem most of last season

Guess we have one more to sign probably a second rower

Re: Mitch Allgood : Tue Oct 25, 2016 6:10 pm  

If this is correct I personally think they'll be another Prop to arrive, a English one and maybe second row. Also with what's happened to Moore and his contract potentially ripped up, with money from that I see no reason why can't find a proper Hooker to replace him, but we'll see.

Although it would have been great to add Fifita to the pack next year, essentially though he was brought in because England got injured and was out for the season. So in reality we have potentially replaced Anderson for Allgood and Hirst for Scruton/Yates.

Also, are Annakin and Kirmond both going to be fit for next season ?

Haven't heard about Annakin but Kirmond's meant to be I believe.

Also we had that bit of a strange loan from Warrington, Harrison who came for 3 games. I know he's in his testimonial next season but I still wonder about that, is their any favor owed? Like the previous year with Grix.

Chester said only Jowitt and Finn would not be in from start of Pre season on 31st October

Re: Mitch Allgood : Tue Oct 25, 2016 7:08 pm  

Looks an ok signing to me but will be hitting YouTube before giving a more considered opinion. Normal HKR suspects telling us how crap he is so if he's half as bad and past it as Fox, cockayne and Mariano were then he should be pretty good

Re: Mitch Allgood : Tue Oct 25, 2016 7:12 pm  

He also said we made 5 new signings, so far we've had Williams and maybe Allgood and also the Moore situation recently cropped up.

I'd be surprised if we went into the season with England, , Allgood, Hirst, Simon, Walker as out and out Props, with Arona as back up if injuries occur. It seems risky and little bit lacking in go forward, obviously just imo. I think If we signed someone like Cox, I'd be happier that we could seriously lay a platform for our backs.
