Strange one this because it was said that we beat off other championship sides for is signature then a month later we have dropped our interest. I wonder what went on to change our minds and will we now bring in a other prop instead or go with what we have got. Then there is always the dreaded dr to use as well and huddersfield do look well off for props.
Yes out of all those rumoured to be coming in from the various sources Douglas was the only one that’s I am aware of not to materialise. Edit:I should have mentioned Alex Foster.
One of the sources was The Game Caller for some of them including the BD u turn.
.
According to him Fax had a “Big Ten” lined up which included BD but not Liam Whitton and with Cole Oakley being a late addition speculator / work in progress recruit not him either.
Doing the maths if the big ten was a accurate statement with 11 now signed - the above 2 then that leaves 1 more although TGC recently hinted that there could be another 2 without going into details and naming names.
The one other name linked with a season long loan by TGC was Ollie Roberts from the Giants..
What followed was OL subsequently said it was the first he had heard of it.
TGC was called out about it.
He replied he had his sources and was sticking by his comments.
Back to permanent signings the last Panthers post announcing the new coaching staff, 11 new signings, return to training etc with season tickets being next up may suggest that’s it for now.
Watch this space I suppose because just as I posted another 6pm signing is put on Facebook and then removed soon after
