Heard a whisper that you are looking into signing former Penrith, North Queensland and Roosters scrum-half Brett Firman. He's without a club and playing in the local Sydney competition, but would have no problems gaining a VISA as he's played in a lot of first-grade NRL games.
Can't reveal my source I'm afraid but watch this space.

you can't reveal him but how right is he normally?

Normally right.

There was another post the other day about Leigh being linked Gateshead's Luke Brannighan, certainly looks like Basil is getting to work after seeing the videos. He knows our weaknesses, now what centres, props, loose forwards are we linked with

Would be and awesome signing look how good Ben Black has been this year and Firman is a class above Black

Phil Lueluai & Ricky Bibey- are they acceptable prop options?

yes they are suitable, look fred and dave parky are more suitable than a certain prop we've got this season.

Not sure if Ricky would leave Wakey I here he lives with the Wakey physio!

I take it we would be looking to get Brett on the next available plane to play this season?

Can he get sorted for 3pm today?

Would take Phil Leaululululululu eye, play with his cousin/son/brother???? Magraff. need firman now if true.....

Bit of a scandal, reported on, there. How would that stack up with the UK Border Agency, for a visa?

i would get our hopes up though because it never comes off

Thats what I thought Alan but no charges were ever brought it was just brought back to the fore again 2 months ago mainly because of Matty Johns involvement!

So Brett should be fine to get over!

You made a few spelling errors there Ste

I believe Craig Stapleton is out of contract at the end of the season, I think he could do a good job for us.

got told today, we signed Phil Leului, Ricky Bibey, Thomas & James
Coyle, plus Dave Allen, but Ian Millward told commitee, he dont want
Coyle brothers & Allen, anyone shed any light on this.

Thomas Coyle sent off early in the game at Oldham today

Heard that myself dont know how true it is though.

It's just that these things seem to be held up on the merest technicality - not just for us. Can he speak English? Has he any parking offences? etc. etc.

Heard a rumour up here that Watto is retiring at end of the season,is it true,a proper gentleman off the field.Always rated him at Fax took Barry Mc dermotts summing up of him on Sky to convince a lot of people about his input to the game.A true players player.

Really can't understand the clubs thinking if that's true, seeing as Basil will be coach next year, surely he has the input on what type/which players he wants to sign, not the board?

Seeing that no charges were made you would think there would'nt be a problem but this is leigh we are talking about here so if we were going after him i would'nt hold my breath.

I believe that Millward already has full control over who is being signed. I was also told of a new signing today but I don't think I'm at liberty to say. It certainly isn't anyone that has been mentioned on here.
