It depends how we look at things.

Got to take this on a short term and long term basis.

Long term…madness.

Short term it probably makes sense.

We have Langi and Lynn, as well as Gaskill able to play Centre.

We have 1 full back and are desperate for another. Dagger is also a bit of a utility.

I’d like to think we can look long term…but in the situation in which we find ourselves we have to try to do something to assist with the fullback position.

It’s a move that smacks of desperation, but unfortunately that is the position in which we find ourselves we have to do anything to look after the now the 2023 season we cannot realistically look longer term than that.

Very depressing the whole thing though.

Cant help but think that this looks like a panic decision.

Re: Swap Deal : Tue Mar 28, 2023 3:31 pm  

As much as I disagree with this move. the logic is we are covered at centre better than FB. Lyne, Gaskell won't be of interest to HKR but Hall clearly would be. We don't have a great hand so are liable to get bent over.

Take some shorts and hope to get a tan, the rugby wont be worth going to.

Just when you think things cant get any worse, we do this.

Of last seasons players, only Hall and Murphy were consistent throughout the season and we've given the lad to KR
After Kay went well v Salford, why the chuff didn't we leave him at FB.

Not happy (understatement)

Couldn't we have shown some ambition and got Dagger without swapping him for our best potential player?

With Murphy already on his way, we have just give away our next best young player.
Sorry but, its a shocker, absolute shocker.

This looks like KR have said "well who do you have, how about we take Hall" and we've been stitched up.
It almost feels like we've been scammed.

We're not in the driving seat, we need a fullback KR don't need to help us, we enquire as to the availability. KR come back with a counter offer.

Re: Swap Deal : Tue Mar 28, 2023 3:38 pm  

I'm guessing that Dagger wasn't available as a loan option then ??
