Lets be honest Hudgell backed him because they needed him nothing to do with loyalty

Exactley, if he was rubbish, they would have looked to release him, Walker gave his all on the pitch and was one of your better players, he owes the club nothing, he doesn't have a contract so isn't breaking it, did Waker get offered a lot less money?

Can't blame him for wanting to play in the top division and he has put in good service with Rovers and owes them nothing.

I think you could easily put together a side to win the league, this side would do that IMO

Cockayne
Lancaster
Salter
Minns
Mantalato
Marsh
Gaskell, Ellis, Finn, Brieley etc
Scruton
Lunt
Tiles
Blair
Donaldson
Lawyer

Clarke
Addy
Jubb
Mariano

That's 3 signings plus the rumoured ones, the key is to be ready for the 8's and save some money for late signings.

Decent enough signing imo.

Rather optimistic about the future, wasn't so after the final kick in the MPG. For me, one of the best signings throughout British RL this year going in to next has got to be Sheens. The guys a winner, and people seem to for get he was not the head coach at Salford. Its put us a year behind going down but I'm confident we'll replace someone in SL next year. I don't know who, but there should be a few teams looking over their shoulders, and dare I say, "worried". Gonna miss the derbys though, I for one loved going to the KC on derby day, hairs on the back of the neck moments. Oh well, onwards to batley, dewsbury etc....

In Tim we trust! RRTR

Solid signing that, could've done with Scruton this season.

Re: Players next year : Wed Oct 12, 2016 4:38 pm  

James Donaldson linked with an NRL move, two teams allegedly interested. Personally I think he's too small and lightweight, big big heart but not the frame for it though.

Re: Players next year : Wed Oct 12, 2016 4:40 pm  

I'm happy with the Scruton signing, plenty of experience and I think he'll go well in the championship. It'll be interesting to see who Sheens has been chatting with over in Australia. I'm not really sure whether the Scott Prince rumours are just a mickey take to be honest.

That post is a total load of uninformed BS. I find it incredulous that Hull fans have the audacity to defend Walker now he's legged it, after singing peadophile songs to him for the last 18 months.

Re: Players next year : Wed Oct 12, 2016 4:54 pm  

I'll wait till I see him play before I cast judgement, but on paper Scruton looks good.

We really need to hang on to Greenwood if possible. Lots of interest from elsewhere for him though, so we'll just have to wait and see. Apparently a few more retentions to be announced very soon.
