Heard today we have signed Danny Tickle for next season, but are asking if we can have him early for the playoffs. How true? i don`t know.

That would sort our goal kicking out at least.

nailed on for wire i heard. We arn't exactly short on back rowers either!

Not very. We missed the play off deadline.

What a riveting thread. I think the Pies equivalent is onto about 70 pages, the Wire one burst and they had to split it into individual threads for all their big signings (Now thats a club managing it's salary cap far better than we are).

We have a 5 page '[uIN[/u and out[us[/u thread.

Seriously WTF? Are we using the money we've saved from not signing enough players for the past three or four seasons to build up some credit with Jewsons ready for the stadium?

Out. - Tom Armstrong - full time education.

He wont really be missed, wheeler, lomax and eastmond are faster

A couple of cheap options i'd be looking at are.....

Nick Youngquest - Gateshead - full back, wing, centre

Ryan Boyle - Castleford - prop

Mark Bryant - Celtic Crusaders - prop

But aren't two of those overseas players?

Yes. We have one overseas place left.

I wasent saying i want all three.

no more average overseas players, any overseas players should be full internationals only, or SOO players, like lyon, albert, tony p, soliola.

Unfortunately we have no chance of signing anyone of the calibre.

The likes of Youngquest would be a good eition for 1 season. Sam Moa at Hull is another example.

why? we have lots of room under salary cap and can and have attracted the very best imports before

All honest trundlers/toilers at best and would be a sacrifice of youth develoment should any be signed.

I have taken Gafa over Soliola

Thats 70 pages of no signings we have though

How do you know that we have loads of room under the salary cap? - you a confidente of the chairman or what.....

You've taken it off Gafa ?

We're operating at full cap level.

At the start of the year we were told we weren't and now we're told we are.

Upgrade in the kids contracts could well be the case?

Understandably they'll be on more money, but in the last few years we've released some pretty big earners in Sculthorpe, Fozzard, Talau and now Cayless, Long and Gilmour. Add to that squad players like Tyrer and Smith and others who I may have forgotten too. For me it doesn't add up. I'm not saying we've got £300k left on the cap or a crazy figure like that, but I just don't see how we're upto the limit this year or next. If the club said they were making cutbacks due to the stadium, then fair enough.

I don't think we were expecting to play so many of the kids so many times and with that have to pay them more once they go beyond a certain amount of appearances, I believe Tom Armstrong was an example of that at the start of the season when we apparently had to stop playing him in the first team lest we had to renegotiate his contract.

Of course that could all be bull
