Is that a reliable source MKC?

He's been proved right before (although he has got one or two wrong before

).
He reckons Blythe has turned a fresh deal with us down to join Widnes. 1st 17 probably guaranteed and bigger contract I expect.

MKC will you be going to Australia when your owner leaves at the end of the season? If so, good luck to you

The curly headed great one is leaving me at a farm, hopefully for stud purposes.

I would be happy with Blythe if we got him, Clarke would also be a good option to help young thomas coyle.

Is Coyle gonna be your starting hooker?

Blythe and Clarke don't worry me, I would liked to have kept Riley. If true of course.



Heard that Higham could be leaving also (released from his contract) with a fresh hooker on the way in.

Be three solid signings that, I reckon. Blythe needs first team rugby regularly if he's to back up the promise he showed earlier this season.

I think Clarke will be given the 9 jersey, with Coyle coming from the bench.

Agree! Would prefer a younger / better hooker than Clarke but needs must and he's a machine in defence which were really going to need when we come up.

Never really rated Blythe but has impressed me the last 2 years at Leogh and especially when played for Wire. Wigan away this year, exceptional!

Riley? Good talent but don't think we need him! Flynn, Ah Van and hopefully Penny will do nicely for me!

No, he will be rotating with another/Clarke good player is coyle, he will surprise quite a few next year.

aye like mark smith, and like phil cantillon, heard it all before

Matty Blythe not going anywhere, straight from the horses mouth

yes heard this myself a 2yr deal apparently dunno why its noy been announced tho????

Heard off a couple of people today that we're in talks with an Aussie winger ?

Aussie winger in SL or NRL?

Didn't ask. Got told Clarke is definately not being offered a new contract (nothing new there then) and that we're talking to an Aussie winger ?

Well done wire...

What? If you've got it, flaunt it. Speaking of Aussies, have you signed Lockyer and Marshall yet pal?

What's wrong with Riley, Evans' or Williams? Just gets silly afterva while surely you've got to agree?

Just stuck on visa problems I'm afraid and Benji not convinced on playing 7 fully.

what gets silly?

Signing imports for positions you really don't need them in! Not only club to blame at all but when have players like Riley one year on edge of England squad and next maybe out the door due to another import it's ridiculous and why the game will move backwards.

and who are you to say we are signing imports in positions 'we dont really need them in'.... I think Tony Smith knows better than you... if he decides that we need to sign an overseas winger then we do. Its as simple as that.... Do you think he goes out and signs players he doesn't need just for something to do?

'signing imports for positions you really don't need them in'......what a bizzare thing to say.

Clubs NEED to start taking some responsibility for aiding the international game and youth development. Full stop.

If you really feel the need to sign an Aussie to play on the flaming wing when you have one on the other side then it's a bit of a joke really. Yes I get the 'what's best for our team' mentality but long term your gaining nothing and probably costing a lot more too!
