I heard it on rumour that Blanch may leave at the end of the year. Could affect our thinking over Halley.

As he’s off contract then it’s entire possible. He may be attracting attention from a few of the bigger clubs, especially if he keeps his try to match ratio up.

Scored the same amount of tries last year as Fox in around 60% of the games; expect alot of tries from him this year too so if he left you have to question do you sign Halley leaving:

Halley: young lad, played three first team games.
George: another young guy yet to play a full season and coming back from a year out (both promsing youngsters)
Peterson: yet to string three games together.

or do you have to go out and buy someone who you know is going to play and is proven defensively? Personally I don't want to see Blanch go, but if he does I would like to see the young English lads given a chance. I say this since I am led to believe that a hefty percentage of signings (aussie ones) are tied up by the end of Spring.

we could even go out and buy one: i like the look of Fox at KR

Not very happy about the 48 hour call back clause. So what if he's still legally Bradford's player, it's very naughty of them, especially considering that our squad's down to the bare bones as it is. Still, at least we've got this highly talented player for another month. If he has another good month, lets get him signed for the season and who knows, fix up something more permenant.

Dave, its a real joy to have you in our team!!!

Apparently it's standard practise to put in a 48 hour call-back clause on loan deals that are extended beyond the initial one month loan period.

You read that on here. If I'm not mistaken, the source was the Cas fan with the avatar of a fat bloke in an England bra. You make up your own mind...

Whilst disagreeing with the way he has put his opinion across, I think I would rather have Halley in the side as apposed to Peterson who has, as of yet, flattered to deceive and appears a little injury prone.

As he only signed an 18 month (I think?) contract this may be his last season with Trinity and I don’t think the club have had value for money out of him. This may change when he gets macth fit again, but we'll have to wait and see.

did not scully have a bad start, hardly his fault having injuries,
in 32 years of engineering, I have had two nasty accidents and they was in the space of 9 months but it doesn't make me a bad engineer
stop before you say yes
