Bit different though, as we have 1 top hooker and one of the best young hookers. I'll be really annoyed if we lose Balmforth to sign a overseas hooker who has never player first grade.

My hope is that I think if he had signed for another club it would have been mentioned by the media by now

I doubt we'd be playing balmforth if he was going

I think he fancies himself as still having a shot in the NRL but Sailor would be absolutely ideal. Bring him in as the no1, but you’d imagine at some point he’d have to play at 6 and this would give Moy some game time at 1. If not him I’d hope someone similar in that mould is our top target.

Sutcliffe and Scott?

Most players who secure deals with other clubs still continue to play.

Yeah maybe but balmforth has been ignored for months and even sent out on loan. Seems strange suddenly playing him

Lack of options because of Houghton being out.

Balformth is this year's Dean Treister.

Got some talent, but still got things to work on. Recruitment still not finished so can't make a call on it
Wasn't at the Play The Ball a few times yesterday Have to keep things in perspective.

Not really when we had Treister, we had just signed Swain, next year we have signed an overseas hooker who no one had heard of and Salfords 3rd choice hooker who is now on loan at Barrow

He still has work to do, but he has loads of potential and we are the two hookers we have signed have played about 15 too level rugby games.

Agreed on Sailor, but can't see it, surely he was possible he would have been signed before Stewart?

Salfords “3rd” choice hooker was given the 9 shirt and played 11 times in all competitions this season and once he signed for us,he was left out and they playing a stand-off and loose forward (Cust and Shorrocks) at hooker…..let’s see how he works out before having a dig…Rimbu is the risk not Borough
