I reckon it's you long flowing mullet that does it.

like I said. You need to read the posts..i didn't call you dumb! I said to avoid the possibility of looking dumb!

As time passes it is looking increasingly likely we won't be signing anyone from anywhere.

well mark, it seems that if there is rumour of a signing, it seems some posters prefer not to debate it on here. As some posters will dig at you and one or two will name call you.

It doesn't appear to happen on other team sites so much.
in fact some sites even have a dedicated rumour site.

They seem to enjoy a good rumour

Im fairly sure we are... i don't think TS is a big fan of announcing signings from other SL clubs when they still have games to play.

If i remember correctly he was pretty narked off when Huddersfield announced the Hodgson signing before the end of the season.

I imagine any signings that have been done/agreed with other SL clubs will be announced after the season ends for all concerned.

Broomhead said in France that no one else was due in after Anthony England.

That is what I am thinking. I don't know why we would now delay any announcements.

Even the Daryl Clark signing appears false and that was a very solid rumour. Wondering if Monas signing for one more year means it is now off.

not off...delayed...Monas leaves after next season...Clark to come in then....apparently.

That is my understanding as well. Signed this year, loaned back to Cas for next (to avoid the drop), then will play for us in 2015 season.

Then why not announce it?

Sceptical now.

From a colleague at work who lives near Clarkes parents. Apparently a few clubs were in for clarke but its all gone very quiet and he hasn't heard anything for a while. his mother was pleased he wasnt moving anyway.

it may be rubbish it may be true. but my coleague isn't the BS type or one for rumors. but prior to hearing this I too like others began doubting it would happen.

Look at it from another angle;

If we haven't signed him (and possibly a n other), that will leave a big hole in our salary cap for next year; Carvell was on £135k, I assume Moz a bit more £150k ?, Bert's salary presumably will be cancelled out by Asotosi. England will not be paid more than Coops, so that means we have around £280k of unspent salary cap - it may be a bit less after the contract renewals to other players, but then Blythe is also leaving and I think one other as well.

We are not a poor club, so why would we penalise ourselves by not spending up to the max ?

when you look at it like that, you would think that the club would be looking to recruit 2 more players.

I just don't think were in the business of announcing them when the playoffs are about to start.

It serves no purpose.

Well Charlie ,old boy, with all this spare cash at the Wire why don't we get down for a trial ?

It all seems very strange, if Cas were to lose players & Wakey seemingly to get some cash to stay afloat then how in God's name are the league hoping to get 2 super league divisions up & running ?

Agreed, and if what I hear is correct, the DC signing will not be announced until next season.

Unfortunately I run very slowly these days, owing to the fact that I have to tow my kidney dialysis unit behind me.

But also no point in spending it if the right players are not available.

And some of the surplus might have been taken up by increases in contract values with the eleven re-signed players.

No announcement because of players involvement in a playoff nrl/sl

If there is spare salary cap money a good reason not to spend it now is because we will see some potential new overseas talent in next month's World Cup.

Didn't stop us announcing Asotasi. And Clark isn't involved in the play-offs?

Nor is Kirmond.

I believe Asotasi was coming out of contact, and others are not.

It may be that contractual agreement on asotasi were satisfied whereas players still under contact require further efforts and their current team may rather not unsettle things while they too themselves are looking for a replacement??

Doubt [uvery[/u much we have signed Kirmond though JC.

It is the Clark signing that I think might have been put on ice.

Another suggested to me was Josh Hodgson from Hull KR.
