Correct and has mirrored the decline in Danny Broughs form this year which can only be described as patchy

Fire sale now on at Salford

Re: 2018 recruitment : Tue Oct 03, 2017 1:17 pm  

we already have one from salford.

dont expect anymore from them , expect maybe two more to come in thats all.

remember we had a full pre season with a brierley and brough half back partnership... that was a waste, also had gaskell filling in at full back.. should be alot more prepared for the start of 2018

Re: 2018 recruitment : Tue Oct 03, 2017 4:25 pm

hmm decent player, young and english

but full back... behind mamo... we have gaskell and rankin that can fill in that role too.. evalds can play wing too, will see...one for future if true

Re: 2018 recruitment : Wed Oct 04, 2017 1:48 pm  

Evalds is a class act but in the wrong position ,a lot better at full back than on the wing.It's a half back we need to replace Brough and for me Robert Lui fits the bill

Robert Lui is a good player but is not an organiser and does not really have much of a kicking game. He would be ok playing with Brough but certainly would not be a suitable replacement

Just a quick word on Jamie Eliis.

I believe he actually lives around the Leeds/Wakefield area.

With Williams departure back to Australia, I think we are in the market for a half back to provide cover/competition for Miller and Finn, especially as the latter is getting no younger
