Some quality players there ............................Ackerman in centre would be great if you could turn the clock back 20 yrs

[Boxer]

Wholly smoke..did not anticipate that one.  Find it very difficult to see whta  a 35 year old bloke who has not played Rugby for 12 months would offer.

I suppose given our financila situatuation we have very little choice in finding a scrum half, he'll cost nothing and if he plays three or four a team games he would concievably be cover..Certainly a big side step from James Wynn to Tane Man>>>

I am not a Bainbridge fan  (as you know) but to me he seems the best option we have. 

[Future]

THIS IS A TOTAL JOKE HE HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AS A COVER PLAYER AT WHAT POSSISION PROP ? SECONDROWN ? SCRUMHALF  ? AT WHAT PRICE? JUST GET RID OF ALL THE ACCADEMY PLAYERS  AS THIS TO ME IS TELLING THEM NONE OF THEM ARE ANY GOOD WE LET DUFFY GO AND FLETCHER TO SAVE MONEY  TRYING TOGET THE SUPPORTERS BACK WITH SINGINGS LIKE THIS YOUR HAVEING A LAFF

[haven09]

the academy lads are not happy.

Gambles from blackpool been for talks--FACT

[Flannerz]

Ah he's still a spring chicken at 35, didn't Brad Davis run rings around us when he was 38?

Joking aside, not sure what to make of it at all. Surely is a shock move and I'd prefer to see Bamber get given an extended run. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see how this one pans out.

[haven09]

gambles would be a decent signing imo but cant see it look at his player profile
Name: MARTIN GAMBLES Position: SCRUM HALF Honours: IRISH INTERNATIONAL Worst Ground Played At: WHITEHAVEN

your right flannerz brad davis did 

its a shock move indeed, manihera has never had pace even in his town days, and he cant tackle, good kicker of goals and 40-20s and a good passer thats about it.

[Boxer]

Jezz I never thought i would see the day when we were trying to sign a bloke from Blackpool or trying to weigh up whether  a 35 year old was a better option.

I can't honestly see either of these blokes being any good for differeent reason!  Didn;t blackpool lose 49 on the bounce!

[Boxer]

Martin Gambles has been placed on the open to transfer list..Taken from the Blackpool website **** looks like it could be true..god help us we are going to be the laughing stock

I would quite frankly rather we kept our money in the bank than sign Gambles....Its not even a gamble signing him its a dead cert loser. 

He has played in some dreadful Blackpool teams for years and done nothing.  What on earth do we need a scrum half from the worst team in the RL for.?

This is sure to get the crowds flocking back down to the Rec. 

[Monte2carlo]

I'm know that we need a scrum half with experience but to buy a Blackpool player is taking the biscuit.

Manahera 5 years ago yes, not now unless he is paying us to play

Monte

[haven09]

agreed a few years ago id of taken manihera not now though

gambles is ok nl1 standard not sure,

we do need a scrum half though

[Flannerz]

Not been funny but does Ged see Bamber as worse than a retired scrum half who hardly set NL2 on fire and a guy playing for a team who recently ended a 46 game losing streak?!

[haven09]

imo anthony thackeray on loan from cas for a season would be my choice.
