Well given that we never really saw the best of McNally I don't think we'll see that.



A fully fit McNally would've been first choice but he was never fully fit - and he might not ever be as good as he was a few years back. Pickersgill will improve as he's only young. Hitchcox has played fullback a lot in the past and could be a good choice there too.



We have options - it's not the end of the world.

Interesting point Hamster, it could easily be either.

I understood it to mean he's been given the squad number but Kear reserves the right to bring someone else in if he needs to.



I think he'll prove to be more than capable.

Well todays t&a article appears to kill off raging bulls rumour fairly decisively.

Not expecting it to happen but whatever happened to Rhys Hanbury?

Released from Widnes and expected to sign for Hull KR but hasn't (yet) I don't think.

KR have announced their squad numbers now too, which is usually a sign that recruitment is done save for any late decision deals.



I thought I saw something about Hanbury going back to Australia, but I could have easily imagined it.
