I suppose Walker may be included this week, if he is indeed fit that's a start.

Perhaps they're holding off on the announcement until Saturday and the season launch?

You've made that presumption in the whole 4 weeks they've been here? If in another month we still don't have any forward any additions then fair enough.

The roughg tough championship forwards we want and need will be all signed up with their clubs.

Our recruitment will have to come from down under. That takes time with visas and also convincing someone to move half way round the world to join us.

who said we have to sign players from Down under??
Joseph was sat there waiting, also what about foster?
Larroyer? he was playing unsigned for Hulls reserves last night.
Was also talk of Loans from Salford and Hull.

We haven't really got any time to be messing about imho, its a case of if its not done soon we are down.

Like i said, most players over here are signed up. Joseph i agree and am surprised he wasn't signed up. Maybe he thought it best to return part time after.not being paid wages by us.

Foster, i reckon was earning a fair whack, one we may not have been able to afford. Larroyer, lets see what happens with that but hope we make enquries.

As i've said before, the numbers we've left free suggest that Toovey/Chalmers/Lowe have players in mind for those positions

I've said all along we'd soon know what the new owners were made of by their actual actions rather than words.

So far we've got 4 young lads on loan and signed a player with next to no RL experience in a position where we're already well stocked.

That bit of recruitment reminded me of when Peter Fox sent Caisley to Australia to sign Harragon and Sironen and he came back with Robbie Paul and Eugene Bourneville.

This kid may turn out to be good but he's not what we need now.

For goodness sake give them a chance. I guess it takes a few weeks to agree and then actually sign players before they are pushed in front of a camera.
We are all impatient and know that games need winning but it will take time to sort things out.

We don't need good players Bullseye? ;)

Seriously though Leon won't play 30 games, especially with the rough treatment he'll get. The player we've signed can play in a few positions in the back line and halves.

We were well stocked at FB when Kieran Moss signed. Didn't do bad did he. Almost transformed the team with his support play.

The 4 Leeds lads you mentioned. Lilley was best player on the field. Hallas looked sharp at hooker and looked better than what i've seen of Halafihi. We've done worse business.

If in a months time we still don't have any forwards then fair enough. But judging them on actions after 4 weeks is barmy.

I know we need forwards but these things take time especially with the complete lack of availability.
