Will be interesting to see if players like Mark Calderwood, Paul Cooke and Danny Sculthorpe can get a start in SL next season.
I would like to think that despite their bad luck with injuries/form/attitude they all have a bit to offer.

 

[Evil Homer]

Calderwood has joined Harlequins on a short-term trial to try and prove his fitness.

Could be a good signing for them if he does enough to earn a contract.

Danny Sculthorpe has signed on a trial with Widnes, and Paul Cooke was not wanted by anyone so will be writing for the Hull Daily Mail. Maybe he'll pop up somewhere mid-season if injuries bite at one of the lower clubs. http://www.thisishullandeastriding....columnist/article-3139719-detail/article.html
