i wonder if hull are one of the super league clubs interested in gareth moore?

Re: Transfers, rumours - version 701! : Mon Oct 11, 2010 8:19 pm  

As time goes by pretty sure that dowes will be the prop and that our hunt for a 7 is struggling because an overseas isn't likely to want to come for just 1 year and isn't many english one's available

In that vid, rovelli looks both crap, yet better than what we had for the majority of last season.

Would prefer Moore to Briggs tbh. Robinson would be even better.

Personally, I prefer Lauaki to be at prop, but doing that at this stage would mean putting Fitz into the SR and putting Washy or Westerman (if the rumour's true) at LF.

A pack of

O'Meley
Houghton
Radford
Tickle
Fitz
Washbrook/Westerman

Moa
Lauaki
Manu
Tansey (as interchange hooker, Whiting to FB)

would be pretty decent in my eyes.


edit: if any actually gives a shiit, my backs would be

Whiting
Sharp
Yeaman
Berrigan
Briscoe

Options on any new signings are now limited. Not many players of decent ability available.
Dowes looks to be our only hope at prop . As for a halfback who knows?

What is the deal with Dowes? Does he have any other offers on the table?

Would doubt it if he's holding out for ours without being certain he's going to get one

I really enjoyed myself when I played but I was disappointed with the number of games that I missed. Hopefully both the team and I can go one step further and challenge next season which is something we are all desperate for.”

Waiting for the Argos/Currys Christmas recruitment drive?

It's his level, unless of course he drops stuff between the warehouse and shop floor?
