From what I've seen this season championship wise the only ones to stand out were Adam Tangata from Halifax, James Bentley from Bratfud, Will Maher for Batley and Mark Mexico at Sheffield. Out of them only Tangata fits the bill in terms of what type of player we need.
I would love to sign George Burgess on loan for the middle 8s, although there would be more chance of Tim Sheens fingering the Queen.

im sure Philip would be impressed, although I hear he likes fish fingers for tea

Which one? Todd, Justin or Brian?

I know which one I'd rather have.

strong rumour Justin carney has or is about to sign still has 5 matches of his ban left, but would be eligible well before middle 8s

In the Aussie press (I will try to find link as I cant seem to atm) we have signed at least one forward. We had a contract for T-Rex Williams and was due to come on board in the coming weeks but has done his ACL so that's a no go. the article said about Williams, plus another forward so I'm guessing we will push for the "other" forward asap due to Williams' injury

Tyronne McCarthy?

Thought this myself earlier, can't see the Justin carney rumour been true he doesn't exactly cover himself in glory saying that Sheens would be the type of coach to get him to knuckle down although I reckon Leigh are very interested possibly Widnes too.

The mail says we have signed him till the end of 2018 tim used to coach him and that it does not matter which league we are in

Signing Justin 'no neck' Carney might be Sheen's first recruitment mistake. Whilst powerful, he is a Willie Mason sized liability. If he helps get us promoted and then ditch him then he might be passable.

Wouldn't be a player I would want but saying that always played well against us.upgrade on what we have but wing isn't a position we look short on.same with Tyrone,another under sized second rower .no good for promotion ..need a beast of a forward or 2

Do we think another halves option is still on the cards? Just watching Mitchell Moses debut for Paramatta, wonder where that leaves Will Smith? He'd be a great signing imo.

Rumour on Facebook: Rovers have approached the Giants over the availability of Danny Brough.

Seeing how the Giants themselves will more than likely be in the Mid8s I can't see this developing.
