I'm just tickled by the fact that Claudia Winkleman is into fishing. You learn something new every day on this forum.

We'll still have Stef Ratchford next season too, don't forget. Hopefully Hayes is fit and well enough to start the season alongside Williams, with Stef and Leyland (assuming that actually happens) as back-up.

Hayes will be 100% ready for the start of the season, he's already training and running again. So i think him and Leyland fighting for the same spot will be great competition and they'll both need to be at their best to get the spot.

ANTHONY MILFORD.

Worth a punt? Not quite the organising half we desire, but is decent in defence and can be devastating near the line. Only problem is he'll no doubt want more than a one year contract, and that's a huge risk, especially when we are trying to bring Hayes through as our long-term solution.

Not sure Milford is the sort of player Burgess craves either. Too inconsistent and has never really demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the cause IMO.

I’m not sure you’ve got the hang of this Easy! Throwing a random name in with no basis is perfectly acceptable, but then going on to rubbish your own rumour IN THE SAME POST is simply not cricket (nor fishing come to that!).

Well, wasn't intended to sound like a rumour, more a gathering of opinions!

He's after a stint over here. 30 years old, so not quite past his best yet, but was never consistent enough to be called a 'great' in his time at the Broncos. Wondering whether we'd take an ageing Milford as first choice over a developing Hayes, since we have a free quota spot and a bit of cap space available?

I don’t want to carp but if you were angling for a bite I don’t think you Hooked 1 at all!

Better watch out for Al Caprawn turning up on his motorpike & sidecarp.
