I can't see anyone of note wanting to sign for us following last season TBH. I'm expecting very uninspiring signings -if any at all!
If we had anyone at all of note lined up they would have been announced at the start of the week to get the ST sales moving.

We're still in the hunt. Cas signing was underwhelming.

yes us, cas and salford all linked, whoever comes up with the best deal wins!

brierley is mates with hardaker, might swing it abit.

cas have eden for full back next year but they may want to put him on the wing too.

league express said other week huby was going but that hasnt happened yet.

you would have thought the mamo signing would have been announced by now but maybe this hardaker move is delaying things

Ive got a feeling we could see Wardle & Wood to Leeds.....Wardle on a 1 year deal (Newcastle in 201icon_cool.gif

Hardaker to us on a 1 year deal (Going to Penrith in 201icon_cool.gif

Would happily Give Ellis & Wood for Hardaker though

We have to be in a strong position for Hardaker as Eden will have come over to play fullback so for me that leaves us and Salford. If Salford offer silly money then fine i would then look to sign Evalds.

Thought i saw Evalds had signed for somebody Can't remember who, or i could have dreamed it, Would be happy with Evalds though

We ( Salford) aren't after him to play full back but centre to replace Griffin with Evalds on the wing.

Why would we want Wardle??

Eden may have come to play FB- but that doesn't mean cas will play him there.
I can't see we have any wiggle room on the cap with this one unless we offer players to make cap space. I'm not convinced we have anyone Leeds would be willing to take that we would be looking to swap.

Because he's better than Ablett?

I'm better than Ablett !!!

One thing we can be reasonably sure of, We will need somebody better than we have had in the past, negotiating for us, if we are to get the better of G Hetherinton. Second thoughts forget Hardaker, let Salford have him , we might get Evalds then.

if you think Wardle is fit to lace Ablett's boots you need to give up the game

Lol

I'd be very surprised if Eden was our starting fullback. More likely we will have Roberts there with Gale and Chase in the Halves.
Eden will be a squad player ready to back up at Wing or FB.

As I recall Joe throws a better punch

that was an awful punch to be fair!

didnt do too bad negotiating a deal for brierley to take him from going to leeds and also leeds stumped up cash for ferres

Which one? There were eight.

Every team looks to be strengthening except us and Leeds. I hope if we have got signings coming in that they are here as pre season training starts and don't link up with us in January/early Feb.

As it stands

Wigan
Cas (If get Hardaker and keep Solomona)
Wire
Saints
Hull

All have much better squads than us for 2017

Us, Catalans, Salford, Leeds, Wakey, Widnes & Leigh vying for the 3 other Top 8 spots.

Hardaker & Mamo with another Prop boosts up right amongst the best in my eyes.

If we make no more signings except for the Bradford 3 I can see another long painful year for us.

We had a better squad than most on paper last season, we finished bottom!!!
how do we know 2 or 3 of those you mentioned might not have a bad year this time ?

Its as much about coaching as it is about players mate, providing there is something to work with, That said I would have expected the club to be at least making noises about players in an effort to boost ST sales.

cup game when wardle got a red card?

better squad but they key was too small a squad !!! the better players were injured and the squad to fall back on wasnt there

Cas have announced their squad is complete. Does that mean Hardaker will be with us or Salford?
