But best not to mention all the years you finished bottom, with no relegation, and the sacrifice of Sheffield to prop you up.

Go easy on him Vasty, its mock exam time in school at the moment. His head is probably all over the place

You mean an established SL club that may do better than an all or nothing game to stay in SL

Mead and McIlorum are the two big targets according to posters on the TRL forum.

I still wouldn’t see Catalans as challengers for anything better then 6th-8th place even with them but they would be good signings.

castleford finally confirm Cory Aston from leeds

season loan
Brandon Douglas
Out - Castleford Tigers
IN - Halifax RLFC - loan

What's happening with Greg Mcnally?
Not named in Leighs squad but I hadn't seen any news of his release, cue the comments of 'this is a SL thread'...

I believe that he's one of the Leigh players that's had his contract cancelled.

David Mead has signed for Catalans on a 3 year deal.

big signing from catalans

should be a star in sl 2018

Superstar, not just star if you please. Don't want to enrage the notorious Mr Capdouze

David Mead is the biggest star signing to come to Super League in 2018. 70 tries in 159 NRL appearances.

So why is he here then - you have to ask when big name players leave the doller rich NRL - what's wrong with him?

It's strange as he signed a contract extension in April as well.

Brisbane has some good 3/4s though - Kahu, Oates (although he's crocked and will probably move into the forwards), Roberts, Moga and Boyd and he's older than them all except Boyd.

Suspect they want to use his salary for a signing in another position. Apparently they want Walmsley but won't happen until 2019.

Welcome to Catalan. The NRL's No.1 holiday destination.

2 more of Hull KR's squad moving on. As Wil Jubb and Jake Butler-Fleming join York.

Also does anyone now what is happening with Dan Sarginson? Apparently Rovers and Wigan in for him. But I've heard a rumour he's already signed for Wigan.

Walmsley to Brisbane in 2019 makes sense. Tatatese has just signed for Bronco's for 1 year (201icon_cool.gif and then will be replaced by Warmsley.

Thanks, thought he was a decent utility player

Dan Sarginson returns to Wigan, 2 year deal.

Wane does love bringing back former players for some reason.

especially ones that flop big style in NRL.

The Catalans signing of PNG captain and superstar David Mead on a three year contract will give a big boost to Super League's television viewership and Catalans attendances. Mead said he was interested in immersion in the magnificent French culture. Both he and fellow PNG'er Garry Lo (Castleford) will carve up the SL competition.

I think all the returnees, including from yawnion, have flopped in SL.

Sarginson
Sam Tomkins
Joel Tomkins
Mossop
Burgess
Leuluai

Have I missed any? None of those that have returned have gotten close to their previous form at the club. If Sarginson is the same they really need to look at recruitment policy. Arguably makes keeping players in the first place harder as they'll know they can always stroll back into the club if they fail elsewhere.

As long as they stay injury free
