All the players we have been linked with over the past couple of months(not alot) are all signing for other clubs.
Scott Wheeldon joined Wakefield, now Rikki Sheriffe has, Michael Worrincy is staying with Bradford and Chris Walker will remain back home in Oz.
Which leaves only Kyle Briggs and Gareth Moore as 'possibles', and if Briggs has another great game in the final like he did the semi, then he seems unlikely.

Is there any good news on the signings front?????
Kevin Penny still hasn't officially got a club

I'm not sure how much business we do out in the open. We are not monied up, so can't go crazy but we should be looking for the right players for our club. ie players such as Matt James, regardless of issues over lack of ability and attributes, just didn't want to be too far away from family.

Some players don't want the distraction of contract negotiations until their season is over, and some coaches don't want that distraction either, so players who will become OOC at the end of 2010 may still be waiting to speak to clubs still involved in play-offs, rather than speaking to those who will send their coach to see them in person.

I would like us to be snapping people us left, right and centre, but I would imagine we will be a little more restrained and bring in the right characters. Either that or bringing in a coach is a priority for bringing in players he wants, or better still players he can bring in off the back of his name and reputation.

Karl Pryce is out of contract!
He'd love the London life

I think we're much more likely to unearth affordable gems from down under than the UK. No more journeyman forwards from up-north please. We need to get Tony Rea back on the case with recruitment and maybe bring in a couple of decent backs from the north.

No more Yorkshiremen.

Since when does the UK make better backs than Australia, and Australia make better forwards than Britain.

That really is not what I said. The forwards we can afford in the UK are hopeless. There is a lack of strength in depth in this country and there arent many good forwards left on the market. There seem to be a few half decent outside backs in our price range in UK, Im not sure why. But for the cost, Id rather see us go down under for some pacific islanders, NRL forwards.

A couple of experienced props and a halfback are a must, an experienced centre would be a bonus as Clubb could move to second row.

Another year at fev, get your cheque book out, thanks!

We still need to resign Karl, and possibly other existing squad members - following DH's announcemnet Paul Blanchard was keen to work on that, so there may be a relationship between who we resign and how much we have for anyone else.

Spot on mate

I fear that it will be a selection of Championship/Championship One players and those who cannot get a game at Super League level. I'd like to think we'd snare a Pacific Islander/NRL player, but we'll see.

Surely we need to get a new coach in place before signing anyone, either new players or extensions to existing contracts. I realise there's an urgency to snap people up before rivals do so, but there's not much sense in signing players a new coach might not fancy. As so often with our club, there seems to be a feeling of inertia.

Lets give whoever Our new coach is the chance to pick His own squad and style of play.

You should have signed Kyle Bibb when you had the chance

Please don't tell me he's slipped through the net?



(F***ing large net.)

Don't be silly, he didnt slip through anything.
We slipped through his net...

Probably, like the rest of them

Who is this player Anyone, not even in Wikapedia

It would be fun, if we do a Crusaders and pick up half a side in January. There does not seem to be a rush does there? As they say at the Skolars "it's a long term plan".

The danger is that we cannot field any sort of competitive side next year. If we don't sign at least 3 new quality players we'll almost certainly finish bottom (a halfback/standoff, and 2 forwards), we probably need 5 new quality players to keep off the bottom (a halfback/standoff, 3 forwards and an outside back), and maybe 7 new quality players to start pushing towards the top end of the bottom six. Being serious I cannot see us even signing 3 new quality players, the best we can hope for is resigning some crap like Ward and Mills and maybe some SL rejects.

Well here's another one who wont be coming to us www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... alans.html A know may have benn abit old for some here. but i feel he might have been handy to have in the squad. His experience could have been handy for some of the youngest's too...

My season ticket reminder tells me we are signing new players!

When will our boat come in? or have we missed it already for 2011?

I'm quite concerned that all the others can snap up signings, while we don't even seem to be linked to anyone!

Gardner looks like the latest to join Salford's ranks, and Parker is a cracking signing for Wakefield.
