If Vila gets a stay of execution i'd be amazed..

I think no matter how desperate we are we either need to use the fringe players Lowes brought in on 3 year contracts or loose them.

We can't afford to be wasting money like the good old Ferres and Lowes days, I'm sure there will be others available.

Question is, would we be able to forgive Tansey for '[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0Gf80CVX3Mthat try[/url'?

Well Lumb played a number of games last season and didn't look out of place. Is he now capable of a full season with minimal rotation or do we need to be aging two hookers in each game?



I don't like how the dummy half role has become in British Rugby League and I suspect with bringing Stuart Howarth last season Rohan Smith is looming for something more going forward than a dummy half runner.



Is Vila that player, is Vila up to the standard of Championship?

I don't know to either of those so I would probably try and bring in Howarth so long as we could afford him.

Thing is as well is contracts end early November? Maybe a few of these free agents have found work elsewhere? We don't scream secure.

if we have a scrum half to start the season we are already doing better than last year.



My Neighbour is Batley fan and raves about Campbell, as do a lot of their followers saying they want him back, it would be good to see him get a fair crack of the whip.

I don't know why but I find it quite amusing we are going into the 2017 season (if we do) with an abundance of halves (Pryce, Chisholm, Keyes, Thomas, Trueman) and no second rowers! Couldn't write that haha!

I hadn't thought of that, but yes if all current free agents re-sign again, that's exactly right. It's like some kind of backwards world





Remember when our only worries were Danny Addy as our best scrum half option? Oh for those days...

I remember when our main concern was Marc Herbert being our best scrum half option

Got a feeling Rohan might experiment with Keyes at hooker.

I'd be happy with that in a way. Keeps a quality goal kicker on the field, gives him gametime and won't be a long term option there!

Played there for Ireland recently iirc.

Anyway let's concentrate on keeping him first

So, bit of positivity. Should everything go how we want and we end up as we are witht he current players in tow how would you guys like to see us line up considering the players who havent left, i'd like to see

Face of it a reasonable side with points in the backline. I'd love to hope come season start theres the possibility of signing at least one more prop and 2 back rowers
