Dale Ferguson has been released from Huddersfield today. Not sure if he is injured or not, but if we are struggling in the pack then I suspect we may be in for him.

Been advised to take some time out after a head knock when they played us at BV two or three weeks ago.

I think this is the deal they'll try to get over this line this week, after Chesters post game comments.

Quality player and I made the comment when he resigned with Halifax that we'd missed out on some quality. I reckon he's on Chester's radar after the shot he put on LMS in the Challenge Cup

Just watched video of him, he looks pretty good. he's agile too and can run

Tangata would be an overseas player for us, his exemption only counts for his first contract after leaving Widnes. Who are we releasing this week to let it happen?
When you consider that he is an fairly average prop in his late 20’s who has never played in the top division, is he really worth potentially paying a fee for? I’d say not. He isn’t any better than what we already have imho.

ok. Let's not bother then.

Would it count if he was a loan signing? Given Halifax are 8th 6 points behind Bradford I don't think they will be pushing for the play offs will they.

Arona to be de-registered as he won't be fit to play again this season Tangata to be signed for rest of season and next. Randell going home at end of season to be replaced by Josh Woods.

I believe the exemption only counts whilst he is at Halifax so we’d have to release someone. Talk that Salford will sign someone this week. Maybe Pauli Pauli is going back there?

Don’t think he can’t be de-registered as he’s already played this season.

All this faffing around when all you need is a new coach
