Been told that it won’t happen unless someone leaves.
Money is that tight that it’s a case of one out, one in from now on.
Think this is why Griffin’s agent is shopping him around and fingers crossed Shaul will make the move to Wakefield permanently.
A back rower and scrum half are the 2 priority positions but the club are waiting until after the World Cup before filling the last quota spot.
Also not good news on Swift apparently. Needs an operation and to have his ankle replayed and pinned.

Some rumour doing the rounds about our current captain moving across the river

Seeing if we can find a talent at the World Cup could be a good more, more and more south sea islands are turning for countries of their heritage and itll be a chance for those who play reserve grade in Aus to impress.

Are they starting a team in Scunthorpe?

I do find this "see what the world cup shows us" a bit mystifying. Surely the vast majority of players already play for a pro-club and any decent scouting network will know what's what out there. For any unknown player that had a decent tournament is a gamble based on a a few good games in a tournament?

Its all part of Pearsons Fantasy Island

Spot on. What it tells me is that the people I charge of recruitment haven't got a clue what they are doing.

Totally agree as our recruitment seems to more a case of spinning a wheel going to get lucky rather than looking, planning doing our homework before making informed and calculated decisions.

Think Pearson would be better advised sticking to running the club in terms of the business side, Clark moving back to media and having someone who knows the game and has contacts within it to run the team side of the club.

The days of picking up a surprise package are long gone. All the players in the World Cup will be contacted to a club somewhere, and therefore will already be known if your scouting is thorough.

Just a cop out . Must think we’re daft.

Interesting that Jack Walker was at the MKM yesterday rather than Headingley.
