Well now the Andre Savellio rumor fest is over and done with I thought we needed a new one.

I thought Warrington Wolves where after him offering cash + Wheeler.

I have recently been informed that the Blackpool Donkeys have made him a better offer.

Wire don't need Swifty, I've heard they've signed Josh Mansour, Brett Morris, Manu vatuvei, Jason nightingale, roger tuivasa-sheck, Ryan hall, & wendell sailor to go with there team full of bang average half backs.

Is that Burtonwood Bulldogs ????

I thought Cooper Cronk was giving up his £300k salary, his £10k/match Origin and Australia match payments, his third party deals, his Australia shirt, his Queensland shirt and his decent chances of winning the NRL, all for the prospect of however much Moran can pay him and the opportunity to help keep Warrington out of the middle 8s?

Could well be the year of the Wolf

Dr Doolittle told me Jonathan Thurston was on his way to Warrington for a medical after hearing reports from his neighbours pet Chihuahua, who is friends with Thurston's dog, which is a cross between a Bulldog and a Shih Tzu.
This rumour was later confirmed by Elvis who was riding a flying pig followed by Lord Lucan on a unicorn.

To be honest, I feel a bit sorry for Swifty.

He's one of those unfortunate players who is very effective (he's always close to the top of our yardage total, breaks plenty of tackles etc.) but tragically unfortunate insofar as mistakes are concerned.

It's not that he makes mistakes. All players do. And many more than Swift. It's the NATURE of his mistakes. Whilst some players possess the kind of freakish luck which sees them only drop a pass or throw one directly into touch whilst the team is thirty points up and/or camped on the opposition line - guys like Swift and (worse still) Francis Meli are destined to make not just costly blunders, but SPECTACULARLY COSTLY blunders.

It doesn't matter that he only dropped one catch all game whilst others bombed four or five. It's the SPECTACULAR BLUNDER which fans remember.

Someone once said it's bad being a loser. But it's misery being an unlucky loser.

I know exactly what he means.

Please don't make excuses for him. He along with Dawson can be relied upon to make the same schoolboy errors week in and week out.

Don't talk rubbish. He might have one shocking game every 10 games but he usually comes back from that with an excellent performance. You're always on Swift's back.

Now now, your getting excited again.

Apart from his one in ten shockers(conservative) He is constantly making defensive errors and his ball handling leaves much to be desired.

It's looking like we've got Sandow though to join Lineham and Gidley. Already looking considerably more promising than your uninteresting, crocked bore of a backline who were totally inept against Leeds again.

I wish we were linked with high profile signings like O'Donnall and Quinlan. Wow! the earth seemed to stop spinning and superleague cried out with fear when Saints made those annnouncements.

Does that mean 2016 will be your year???

Might be, might not, who knows. What I do know is that your signings and backline have about the same amount of flair and excitment factor as the players on a table football pole.

and yet (without our No1 winger, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice full back) we sit so far above you in the table, how can this be?

Possibly only two points after this weekend mate. Wigan already look to be above us.

indeed, but how can we be ahead of wire at all if we are so poor and they are outstanding? i'm clearly missing something

I'm not disputing that you're higher in the table, just having a chuckle at previous posts mocking Wire's attempt to sign big name players when it looks like we're close to signing Sandow, already have Lineham and Gidley, where you've signed O'Donnell and Quinlan. We're looking around Waitrose while you're carrying a basket around pound stretcher.

a person cannot be that stupid. We've signed 2 players to cover injuries, they're clearly not marquee signings, Quinlan is onlt til the end of the season.
As for your signings, youve wrecked last years man of steel, Gidley was past it 2 years ago and Lineham is hardly setting the world alight now is he?

Might be better to judge come the end of the season. If we lose friday then I think we will have tough task making the top 4.

We are now 3rd with hudds, Cas and Warrington closing in on us. Imo we have to beat Hudds and Warrington to put us in strong position to make the 4 come the semis. I have serious doubts after last weeks shocker.

Can you really be that stupid Saint Simon? It takes a settling in period for most players and if you hadn't noticed Clark has been improving and had his best game last week v Wigan. I'd much rather have Gidley and Lineham than the crocked nobodies you've bought.

to be fair, only one of them is crocked at the mo, of course that could change tomorrow

Castleford & Huddersfield have their own problems to worry about. Both hit the final stretch last season and flat-lined.

That's because McDonnell was signed as our 5th choice fullback, and Quinlan replacing him. Of course they aren't going to be as high profile as your marquee signing


Gidley is past it now. Watching him against Canberra at the minute and he's been non-existent...and that's at one of his stronger positions of fullback. Isn't Smith planning on playing him at halfback?
