Alex Gerrard has signed a contract extension at Widnes.

Yeah just saw that one mate, I wouldn't have minded him as a replacement for Westwood.
Like I say though we're linked with pretty much everybody at the moment so who Knows



DAG I still wouldn't class Eastmond as a BIG signing so wondering if it is someone else?

Who was it said we signed Kevin Naiqama, listening to Jenna Brooks just then she said Salford are in for him.

Balls. I was looking forward to us signing Naiqama.

i know its not a rumour but would love to see chris chester here as coach ben jones bishop as a winger instead of the 2 we are lumbered with and the big lad wakey have fifitta..

Right now i would have all Wakefield here lol. Except Anthony England what a balloon head just then.

Just the 8 Overseas players then
Junior Sa'u
Robert Lui
Michael Dobson
Ben Murdoch Masila
Weller Hauraki
Lama Tasi
Todd Carney

and Kevin Naiqama

All good Mancunian names, i'm sure their ancestors all worked in't mill.

Nah all are from immigrant families born in Burnley.

Tut tut

You were not wishing for this last season when you paggered us in the semis

It must put players off signing for us as they don't know if we'll be in super league next year. I'd love to see Naiqama here next year but looking at us and salford from an outside view i know who i would opt for

Or they could be optimistic and look at Leeds last season and where they are now?

Monday morning rumour - Michael Monaghan lined up to come back next season and replace Agar as Smith's No2.

Trent Hodkingson linked in todays LE. Would be a very good signing.

Don't really follow the NRL, so can't really comment on how good he would be. Are we confident a half that can't get in to the worst club in the NRL over there can come over and be one of the best halves on the comp over here?

really did you not see lineman v Leigh he scored given the opportunity not his fault that he does not have many opportunities created for him!! or do you just want a fast winger and not to fussed on his try scoring ability. Chester I would not mind but am happy with the current lot on the wings

Recently played State of Origin. Got to be a massive improvement on anything we have at present. He qualifies to play for England so i wonder whether they can get him off the Quota?

We really are setting our sights high...has the club already resigned itself to being in the Championship next season ?

Yes. He'd be a fantastic addition. You only have to look at the likes of Albert Kelly and Luke Walsh who were released from their NRL clubs and came over here. Even the average NRL halfbacks look very good over here.

Hodkinson is a lot better than them two though and he's a fantastic goal kicker. Would direct us around the park. I think he'd be fantastic over here.

Maybe we've been scouting Championship teams because, ya'know..we're going to be playing these teams.

Seems like the article is speculating about things not there. We already recruit from the Championship, (Hi Matty Blythe)..

Didn't Joey Johns come over for the 3 games after Newcastle finished bottom of the table that year.

Or maybe the club are looking for hidden gems...heaven forbid the club should do that, you know, in a salary capped sport...

I wouldn't say Hodkinson would do well over here, there's a reason he's not making the team. He's had a BIG loss in form which coincides with his knees being absolutely Goosed, he's not a fast halfback anyway and has lost loads of pace. He might be ok over here but I wouldn't say he would do anything better than what Gidley has done for us.
