Im hearing Craig Hall. Not sure how true

Craig's brother-in-law is Lee Briers ... If true he didn't last long at Leigh.

There's been a constant slide in his career since he was at Hull...
...and I though TS was responsible for signing the has beens or championship players.

He's not, believe me. He'd make a decent second rower, particularly as he ages and gets even bigger. He won't pass, simply never passes to his winger.

He'll fit in well.

Don't worry ,this weeks wonder kid will be next week's scapegoat ,especially on here.

Making JJ scapegoat before he's even had his own rumour thread.

If we put him next to Jack Hughes nobody will notice. At least Atkins may get a reprieve for a while anyway.

In all honesty I wouldn't want us to sign a player unless we see a long term future for him at the club or its only until the end of the season. We don't want more of next years cap space unavailable due to opportunism.

So nothing then?

Where's this rumour of a medical come from? Could be anyone at all if true, Luke page was mentioned awhile ago so could be another forward coming in? I completely agree that we need a bit more depth in the squad so it may be a utility player. Didn't someone say we still had 50k sat in the bank awhile ago?

I think it must have been a medical aimed at seeing if one of superstars was fit to play this week.

50k cap space I believe.

50k in the bank of Moran would have me slightly worried

Was it not just a medical for Bryson Goodwin ahead of the weekend game?

I suspect that any player coming in for £50k pa would be considered underwhelming to say the least by this board.

Where the blazes are we spending it?

25% of our cap I reckon will be on Hill, Clark & Roberts.

Next highest earner BMM/Goodwin?

50k for a 6 month contract, not that bad!

Doesn’t work like that unfortunately, annual salaries count on the cap, so his salary cap value would be £100k

So we’d give him a 50k salary with an increase in following years agreed to compensate?

Potentially, yes, although I think I remember reading that the salary cap value of a player you have signed from another club mid season, cant be lower than the value of his current contract. So if Lui was on £80k at Salford, we couldn’t pay him £50k in year one then £100k in years 2 and 3 as his year one deal would be lower than his current contract. His salary cap value in year one would have to be at least £80k.

I’m going for a lie down.

Looks like the OP was right. League Express reporting we're close to making a signing.

Craig Hall?

Outside back cover perhaps given Johnsons injury?

The article kind of indicates Charnley is who we could push for.
