Better than Hardaker signing, he's younger, faster plays the same way and isn't a numpty.
what doesn't kill me simply makes me...stranger.

Been calling for this since 2018. Easily in the top 3 full backs in SL on form over the last few year. Still only 26 and not even in his prime yet. He's good now, but if anyone can really take his game to another level then it's DP.

Heard we'd beat Hull FC to the signing who offered cash and a player (maybe Shaul).

Not often I get excited over signings, but this one is up there. Welcome aboard Niall.

Wonder what the idea is of just a year,are we a stepping stone or is it just because of the pandemic we can’t commit to longer?

In these tough times to make a statement signing like this shows our club must be in good nick off the field. I’m amazed but delighted we have pulled this one off. Well done to all involved and particularly the much maligned Jon Wells for getting it over the line. A spine of Evalds, Truman, Richardson and McShane could well be the most exciting in the league next season.

Apparently josh jones wants out of hull, so could have been him.

A spine of Evalds, Trueman, Richardson and McShane is good enough to win trophies.
Great signing.

Assuming Rankin heads elsewhere and with Junior heading to Wakefield thats two overseas spots.
Great signing.
Rankin has not let us down.
As for Junior bi fan of tge big man and thank both them both and wish them well.
As others have stated a real statement of a signing and a spine to win more trophies.

Cracking signing, one i mentioned on here we should have been targeting back when Hardaker left. The spine is looking very good indeed.

First of all. I hope everyone and their loved ones are doing well in this dangerous period.

If this leads to be true, I am ecstatic about this, minus the supposedly one year. I had quiet hope to myself of Cas doing something special this year, before all the madness began, but if this is true then I am very confident of next season.

Word is that we’ve been after Evalds since the Hardaker debacle but have never quite managed to get the deal over the line.

Fantastic news if this is the case. Finally resolved the full back issue if true. One year a bit strange but there will be areas on for this, we just don’t know what it is yet.

We have tried a few at FB and because of Hardaker being a good as he was most FB used havent lived up to what we had but how could they? We now have someone than is regarded as a top FB so let’s hope he can and will get to the levels of what we have all been craving.

Great signing, well done to all involved.

Well done to all involved, great timing to give the town a lift. Our recruitment has been doubted in the past but Wells and Powell look to be constructing a seriously exciting team again. See you all soon.
