Yes bills have to be paid, and if the bulls can’t pay them I agree they should get the French Connection UK away from the club, but constantly banging on about this that and the other who are leaving, that will always happen, and to be honest with you if there are 12 leaving then maybe 6 need to leave because there not good enough, 4 maybe are mercenaries and the other 2 are probably genuinely better than this league

Broughton will do a great job at Bradford.

Announced as going to fax. Gradually every target will sign elsewhere. Sigh.

I would prefer Foggin-Johnson and JY over Broughton, he has played less than 10 games last 2 seasons.

Re: Signings 2020 : Mon Sep 09, 2019 9:56 pm  

Wasnt jy injured for a few games this season along with Joe Keyes.

Rugby is a contact sport if you hadn't realised so injuries are part and parcel of the game.

Yes but both have made it in to double figures for appearances this year? The last time Broughton did that was the 2017 season. Its a risk by Halifax it might pay off or he might spend majority of time injured.

Anyone heard where Dom Brambani is heading?

Might he have been a useful signing given he is an experienced Championship player who can cover both 6 & 7. With Wildie apparently off to Leigh, we’ve lost some cover at halfback.

I wonder what's going on with Cameron Scott. I think he's ooc with Hull and his first team action has been very limited for them, I'd certainly hope we are making efforts to re-sign him just like we did with Joe Brown.

Don't think we need him. Keyes & Lilley seemed to really gel towards the end of the season, there's Milnes to continue to develop (providing we get out of special measures)

Then underneath we've some good HBs in Shackleton, Race, Littlewood.

Bit more detail in Chalmers column this week with players signed up and leaving. He says he expects us to make 9 first team signings once our budgets being approved by RFL which he expects to be resolved in the coming weeks. Oh and we're going to go into DR with an SL club which I'm absolutely sick about.


Other players released from our first team squad include: Ethan Ryan Matt Garside, Ashley Gibson, Callum Bustin, Jon Magrin, Matty Wildie, Dalton Grant and James Green. We wish all these players good luck with their careers.

Fourteen first team players are contracted for 2020 and include: Matthew Storton, Connor Farrell, Evan Hodgson, Steve Crossley (captain), Thomas Doyle, Elliot Minchella, Rowan Milnes, Jordan Lilley, Joe Keyes, Jake Webster, Brandon Pickersgill, Jy Hitchcox, David Foggin-Johnson and Joe Brown.

He also says we have entered into a duel reg relationship for 2020 which will be announced shortly.
