Not seen anything from the Davies lads to suggest they're anywhere near good enough as yet.....

SG, knowing Ben Kaye was departing would have definitely given it some thought and made plans accordingly.
Does anyone know if we are signing an establish hooker and If no one comes in, apart from Brandon who else do we have that would play there?

My Humble Opinion Only - let the knockers begin.

It reads like you guys are playing fantasy league. Gotta cut your cloth. According to the material you have to work with.
Missing out on a big payday with the cup run, everyone expected much more than was actually paid out. Finishing outside top 5 meant even less.
Everyone has an opinion and is entitled to give it, I am sure S G would have liked more too in the piggy bank.. Give them a chance, last years squad were world beaters before a ball was played.

All very true but we are very unlikely to go with just one hooker so the question that still remains is.
Will the other 9 come from within or from outside and in both cases who will it be, someone’s got to play there.

I believe its the same situation with Joe Keyes in that he is under contract with his current club for next season but maybe seeking a move.

Keyes would be a welcome addition but don't think we have the resources to fund that.We tried to sign a Bradford player last week who turned us down to move to Doncaster for more money....that's the reality of where we are.

Winger Josh Rickett(think he scored 4 against us in a reserve match back end of last season) lives local too and we've tried to sign him before.
Doncaster must have a bob or too(Rangi Chase won't have been cheap).Maybe Bentleyman is helping them out from his meaty pension.....

On the other hand though Hudds it shows that we make an offer we can afford and if it’s not accepted we pass and it does show we are still looking if it was only last week.

Back to the 9 spot.

SG commented that on some positions you may be able to play a utility type player but others you definitely needed a specialist and imho hooker is one of those spots.

So much comes from the play the ball, distribution and speed in and around the ruck.

There are other factors of course but just thinking about some of the players Fax have had in the recent past, when the 9 can play a bit then so can the team.
