While I'd welcome Chisholm back it's forwards that we really need.

Chissy would be good cover for Leon which we need, this was probably the plan for 2017 all along.

I agree though we need 2 Battle hardened props, 2 back rows (a 13 inc in that) and maybe a centre & a good cover hooker / utility (Halafhi is useless)..

In my opinion the original squad for this year still looked a little light on cover before it got picked to death.

If Chisholm went to Sheffield there would be many Bulls supporters asking how they can afford him and not us. Some supporters will not buy tickets if that happens. We should be able to match other Championship teams.
Interesting that he says he is back home in his tweet. Strange phrase if he is not in either Hull Kr or Bradford.
We must be making some decent signings if they want to sell STs. I can't imagine us signing a few nobodies and then making a song and dance about fans backing them.

I find it rather strange that we haven't announced any signings yet. Unless toovey is making the decision now and we will see summert happening in next couple of weeks.

You'd think the club would have to announce a squad and squad numbers by Friday.

I bet I'm right about waiting until 50 pages!

Nice signing for Sheffield. Shame we couldn't sign him.

If we can't outbid Sheffield, who were as bust as us a few months ago, then it doesn't augur very well for building up the squad

Also you can bet he'll have absolute belting games when we play them, and single-handedly lead them to 2 wins against us...grrrr

Re: Re-signings & new coach : Mon Jan 30, 2017 8:52 pm  

Don't want to appear negative, but Chisholm will make Sheffield stronger now, sad to say that's another 4 points I can't see us getting, in fact I think we could possibly be the first team in history to finish on minus points, if this new regime intend taking us forward I think some one needs to let them know that the season starts next weekend

It reminds me of when we were relegated first time checking every day for signings and none arriving..

When we went down it was oh two years rebuilding and back up...not a prayer.

If we get relegated again it's game over..it wouldn't be commercially viable without a koukash or Eric perez character...which we don't have.
