Fenton Rogers to London on loan. Shame not to us but I suppose he wants to play Superleague.

Saw that and think he will go well for them. Obviously now looking to get some game time at SL level which you would expect at his stage of development.

T&A are as usual promoting clickbait style headlines suggesting he has chosen a move to London rather than come on loan to us... whilst I know a lot of us fans would love to see him back, to my knowledge there hasn't even been an approach to see if he was available.

Don't think i'm biased...
...i'm just very narrow minded!!!!!!!

Good for London and better for the player to be playing versus SL opposition regularly. I'd be looking at attracting another like him as it seems he's outgrown playing in the championship.

Please can we stop mentioning the possibility of playing Hallas at dummy half? I'm not sure I could handle that.

I think we're in for a long afternoon versus Swinton unless we go into it with the mindset that we took to Sheffield late last year.

If Gaskell is fit I assume it'll be Jowitt and Flanagan at 9. Just need to get a win and come through without any further injuries or suspensions.

According to M Gledhill, Gaskell is still unavailable (which is worrying, is something else going on behind the scenes)

Also - expected loan players to come in this week, possibly Johnson from Leeds and another, Maybe Oliver Holmes?

We need another halfback for sure. What happened to Moss?

Well if Gaskell is out, let's hope we do bring someone in. Otherwise it's a spine of
McGowan
Jowitt/Lilley
Flanagan/Hallas which is the most uninspiring spine I've seen for a long time.

Yes, this is what I have been thinking.

In his previous employment with us didn't Mr Gaskell go 'sick' for a while until he was transferred?

Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cosy, doesn't try it on.
