These fellers were especially at CP when we changed from playing Saturday afternoons to playing on Sundays. He/they used to call us all sinners. They often used to stand on a box to berate us all. Harmless enough, but I admired them as they took some 'stick' from the CP faithful. Me and my Dad used to have a joke with them and agree, that we were all sinners. We'd just turned out of the Balcarres so sinners is what we were.

Anyone know which Christian group they belonged to ?

For years I used to see him at every away match as well, so he was either a Wigan supporter or he thought that Wiganers sinned more that anyone else.

I think it's Frank Pritchard who has signed for Hull.

Tony Puletua has signed for Hull FC from Salford, he is also suing Salford regarding unpaid wages.

According to the local press this is the least of Salford problems.

Wonder if Wire would be looking to reunite him with Lineham. If Sarg is going I would much rather Crookes than Bridge.

He will be a gamble for whoever he signs for but he was the potential to be a top class wingers centre. Given the Bridge rumours are so strong with us though I would say it will be between Cas, Wire and Salford.

Ben Crooks looked an exciting young talent. Sadly for the lad he was pushed back from injury too soon in the 2013 Challenge Cup Final v Wigan. It appears to have dented his confidence and may take some time to rebuild. I'd like to see him given that chance at Wigan but with such an inexperienced side I'm not sure if that would happen, especially as the very highly rated Oliver Gildart will be pushing for the same centre position.

I've heard Cas are favourites to sign Crooks, with Inu off to Cats with Hull chasing big Franky Pritchard's signature.
