27ngames including friendlies and substitute appearances. Sent off twice ( for doing nothing illegal).
Hardly made an impression at the club bearing in mind the significance of the signing.
Since he left we have needed an enforcer that is 4 years with a powder puff pack.

| When LoD was fit and on the pitch he was a terror and gave our middle real steel
But he picked up too many injuries

Nah sorry not having this,no impression,what he did was to straighten us up,the most important single play of the set of 6 when the rest were looking to go sidewards.

| Personally, and i've said it most of the season, we have the nucleus of a good squad, we have some very talented players, but this year, we have been a poor team, i think a bit of a freshen up could be on the cards, with the likes of Crabtree and Grix leaving.
The bad and disrupted start looked like it just drained the confidence and mental toughness out of the players and we just couldn't get it back.
We finished bottom but could have been a lot higher had we not lost some of those close games or thrown leads away in others.
RS said at the HGSA that confidence was the biggest challenged he faced, and he will have a pre season and a fresh start to change the mood around the squad.

| Quote Sheepridge Giant="Sheepridge Giant"Are you hearing owt with regards to potential new signings Joolsy ?'"
Nope- other than Mamo. Stone said he's spoken to him about coming and NB seems happy to let him go so I suspect now we are in SL next season that will be our most likely signing. We are behind with signings due to our recent predicament. There will be a SL team relegated but IMO There's slim pickings from either of KR and Salford, lots of players getting long in the tooth, injury prone or both. Adam walker may be worth a punt if he would come back- strong prop with a good offload, evalds possibly the only one at Salford but not needed if Mamo agrees to come. Either way we would be down the list of clubs of first choice for getting either.

Mamo looks like a dummy,as in doesn't belong in NRL,looking so poor at a loser club like Newcastle how bad does it get,that is not to say he would not cut it in SL.If he wears the C&G I would back him.Surely Stone knows a modern FB has to have hands,that's all they bang on about in NRL.

| I believe we would have a great chance of getting Evalds. I doubt Wigan/Wire/Hull would want him given their squads. He is a Huddersfield/Halifax lad and has bought his first house here in Huddersfield. He can play full back, wing and half back. Mamo is a fullback/wing. Mamo to replace Grix and Evalds to replace Connor I would be happy with.

He's one of them who excites you on attack,then later on you look at his defence and think to your self is it good enough.

| Quote Durham Giant="Durham Giant"We need to make a lot of changes to strengthen the team in a number of areas. This will require big changes based not just on the quality of the player but also what they cost on the cap.
LE says that wood , josh Johnson and Eorl are off if we can move them on. Connor will be going to Hull.
I would let Wardle go if it helps us get Mamo and Randell ( in stone we trust).
Grix is already going afaik with Wakey and fax being mentioned.
As for sacred cows we could consider moving on two players depending on what it would save on the salary cap and whether we could get as good as or better players in.
Brough. Always rumours around him and never know what to believe. But could replace with Soward. Just as good and might be cheaper ?
Jerry. Wigan apparently are desperate for him. Would be a good swap for Sio if he came cheaper.?
None of these are based solely on playing ability. We cannot afford to be sentimental about this But stone needs to rebuild. Too may underperforming players who are not mentally tough enough. Rebuilding will require skill and making some difficult decisions .
Maybe the slaughtering of sacred cows will be an indication of what we direction we are heading in.'"
you glad we won yesterday durham?

| Quote Sheepridge Giant="Sheepridge Giant"Tilse and Sio are good players no doubt about that.Wouldn't complain if we could get 1 or both of them.
Broughy one more year at least,not sure of his contract situation,but his legs are showing no sign of slowing down.
They are saying a clear out,are we looking at the likes of Ellis,Ormsby. Be sorry to lose Eorl even now his battered body is one that can be relied on,- Jezzler going would be a huge huge blow.
Players are starting to look more confident under Stone,Murphy has run harder in last few games than all season,Hinchy looking better out of acting half.
Halves are so important,bulk Brierley up for 'D' will that slow him down.
It's gonna be interesting to say the least.'"
brough contracted till the end of 2018.
