Didn't the sleeve say he was recruiting a new hooker after Aiton decided to leave? I wish people would pipe down about Moon at stand off. He's one of the best centres around.

Oh, and for the record, I also think Garbutt has been fantastic! Very good meter eater (more meters than JP in some games??) and some strong collisions in defence.... Couldn't have had a better start to his career with us - a real mid-season boost to the troops.

Wow, somebody criticising Garbutt? Unreal. He's not just impressed when considering that he was an unknown, he's impressed because he's turned in some top performances. If Galloway - who is a quality signing - performs to the same standard I don't think there'd be many complaints.

Ha ha, what a plant pot!

'IDONUTKNOWWHATIMTALKINGABOUT' would have been a much more fitting name I think. Garbutt has been a solid performer and has given us some aggressive running when needed, he's a player that leaves nothing to the imagination, runs hard and true every time, I don't know who that guys been watching but it's not Mitch Garbutt surely, maybe he meant Achurch not Garbutt....



As for next year, very few were expecting us to finish top 4 this year or get near a trophy at best, especially on this board, but we've gone and done the opposite so write that squad off at your peril. Yes it's going to be hard with no sinfield to fall back on especially, but we'll still have the best back 5 in the league and we'll still have plenty of experience in the squad, even in the relatively young players such as hardaker and Watkins, plenty of big game experience there alone. A lot for me will depend on the hooker signing along with how McGuire steps up if he becomes captain, be interesting to watch!

Deary me.



Back to troll school for someone on this thread...

Leeds agreed terms with Westerman, however the clubs haven't agreed a fee yet. Hetherington not happy with the 150k Pearson wants for him, especially when he's out of contract end of next season.

Chasing Westerman, I have to assume Achurch is indeed off, and potentially JJB is looking less likely to return next year??



Prop - Garbutt, Galloway, Singleton, Mullally, Baldwinson, Mulhern.

Hooker - ??

Second row - Ablett, Ward, Delaney, Keinhorst, Walters.

Loose forward - Cuthbertson, Westerman, Minchella.



Need for at least one hooker, frontline, maybe a project option as backup??

I'll bet he's not happy. We are, essentially, discussing a player who's yet to prove he can hack it at the very highest level.

Might be dead in the water then. Can't see Hetherington paying that and Pearson doesn't like Leeds. Depends how much they want rid ofWesterman

Yep.Would imagine GH is thinking more 50k ballpark.And he would be right.

Might open the door for Warrington to pay a higher figure.

£50000 does seem more realistic but maybe 30k more from Wire will make Pearson happier.
