You've signed some half back on DR from Wigan aswell, sorry if its already been mentioned.

Interesting, Thackeray has been pretty poor this year tbf and doesnt have the vision or hands for a real good 6. The rest im not fussed at all.

Mellor at 7 and I'anson at 6.


This year will be now be even worse with these announcements.

BTW Mellor is a cracking player.

Hasn't Thackery been playing at Full Back though? Not suprised he hasn't been playing well if thats the case?

A Betts masterstroke!!! He has played there but he hasn't been playing there if that makes sense.

I feel for Thackeray,he must be gutted.I thought he deserved a chance to show what he can do with a decent pack and scrum half alongside him.Let's hope some more tough decisions are made soon.

Sort of

I'll be honest, I thought Thackeray would have been one of the first players to sign up for Super League.

Thackeray has carried for us for a while now. Even when we had Webster, Thacks was still the main playmaker. With full time training he would of went well for us. He deserved at least 1 year

The rest im not fussed about. Netherton and Gerrard are too slow for even this league.

Re: No Superleague for Thackeray, Netherton, Ford and Gerrar : Tue Apr 19, 2011 1:35 pm  

He did deserve at least one year,even if only as a back up,second choice half back.No doubt the wise men behind the scenes will have a replacement lined up.Paul Cooke or Graham Holroyd probably.

Netherton was championed by Cullen and now he's been told he isnt wanted for 2012.


Please explain that one Cull and the reasoning behind letting smithy go!



Thats what im most furious about.
