Any news lately? signings or Gossip?
Pre season training would be starting soon, would it not?
Pre-season this week, and trialists coming in next week. Some good signings, media releases to start from next week.
I'm more worried about NCR and Grant Hastings parting way then this lot!

Pretty sure Richard Gillespie is still around.
last week HBU promised signings would be announced this week
Maybe they haven't signed anyone....?

Just had awee look on twitter, based on their twitter account, Tom Biss is back playing for them, must not of made it overseas
looks like he has found his level at a push
AGM this week, the 30th I think. In the past they've announced the team there. Surprised word hasn't leaked out yet. i could get off my ass and go down to training, but can't be bothered.
any word here yet on players? AGM last night I think.
Yes it was so I expected something in the local rag this morning - nothing. Nothing on the website either. Maybe tomorrow's paper. Actually got of my ass and asked someone that will know but no reply yet
Understand that the bulk of the squad has been signed, just finishing off a couple of 'key signings' they plan to release the names in the squad next week.
heard matt hastings has come out of retirement to be a squad member! interested to see who the key signings are, must be new!
David Mulligan...
David Mulligan...
Let's just say.... not confirmed..... He still hasn't made a decision.
hence the ... check book out in the bay
Thought Mulligan was injured with his neck? If he is going there, it really speaks volumes about Paul Temple *giggle*

does seem bit stupid, give his spot to a young guy that can benefit from being involved. Maybe he is a player/coach?
Player coach could be an option, but surely Chris McIvor or Bill Robertson would be better player coaches? Wonder if McIvor is involved this season? If they are signing Matt Hastings then im a little worried they are struggling with recruits
To add to your worries, I know one of the guys who played for the team that got relegated in central league this year and hes been signed up by HB. Should also add that hes a striker/attacking mid who did not score a single goal all year.

Tai Barham really maybe we should keep Matt Hastings in their if this is the case!!! god help us
If it is him that Poolfan is talking about then, i would only imagine he would be an academy player for the 1st team
yeah but he is not good enough to take one of them positions, guess only time will tell.
Hypothetically speaking, who else would you give those Academy spots to?
Fane Morgan and Bayley Chadderton both started regularly for NCR 1st team so should get one. Maybe BJ from Havelock seemed to score few goals at that level and had one last year. Not sure about the guy Groot is he playing but he did ok for me in youth league last year. Harry Morton must be doing alright down in wellington with ole? Reilly O'meagher playing first team glenfield in auckland all year. Matt Gould must be about as a keeper. there were few other young lads involved at rovers that got game time for first team that could benefit!
Matt Gould's in england at the moment, so not sure whether he would be back, yeah id say Fane Morgan would be in. Corey adams from Gisborne maybe? played yoof team last year?
Not sure there's even academy spots this year, I've heard they've been scrapped although two youth players need to be on the bench like last year. Sounds like there will be some youth around in HB though
Oh really what is he doing in UK? Playing? that sound better i guess gives the younger ones more of a chance to get a look in if they are not in the inital squad.
Nah wasn't Tai I was talking about but surely he is not at that level either. This guys an american lad who played for youngheart last year
robson

his work rate. He's very good on the ball but his work off it could be better. I would hope he's being looked at with intentions to bring him into the first team eventually. Not ready yet.
Edit: having formating issues or something
