I just can't see there been anyway in hell that Radford would get rid of a potential world class bag egg (Watts) but then be willing to sign a past his best has-been very bad egg.

Lets hope not

The Championship One grapevine has been suggesting for some time that Gareth Hock has already signed for Newcastle Thunder for next year, along with Liam Finn.

Hock denied that himself on his Twitter feed.

I think a lot revolves around money and availability of players and would clearly be a stop gap. Whilst Hock might not be top choice for many on here he would give us a bit of grunt which we are sadly lacking. If spelled well he could even be the impact player we need.
Of course the big if is can he stay on the pitch long enough.
Not seen Hansen for a while but on past form he's a useful player to have around.

i can't see how signing these players is going to progress us. we need to be aiming much higher, even if it means selling on a couple to gain some. we need an inspirational example setting forward, a ready made and proven captain. good as taylor is, i'm not sure he is that person

Panic signings. The worst of the lot is clarkson. Absolute garbage. 3 championship standard players

Not sure why there’s such panic, they’re only rumours. The club has a habit of signing people out of nowhere - eg Griffin and Connor

Re: In's and out's : Tue Sep 11, 2018 9:11 pm  

Hansen would be a very strange signing. He's given everything for every club he has played for but his knees are shot, a fabulous club man. However, he very rarely trains because of the injuries.

No one is panicking, merely expressing an opinion on the players

clarkson is a grafter hence not easy on the eye ,who are you expecting for the salary he will command, judging by your last 8 games hes better than some of your overhyped fringe players , 100 per Centre who dosent shirk

The issue for me with Hock as a signing is we got rid/sold Watts who is without doubt one of the best forwards in SL and the rumoured reason being his discipline yet Hock is no where the level of Watts in today's game yet with more issues than Watts.
