| Quote ="Shifty Cat"Agree, the club just said it would be good news and if you want to hear it first hand go to the shop, can't see how anyone would come to the conclusion that they'd been hoodwinked, unless they'd been paying a little too much attention to normycat, on here.
The club have actually used a bit of PR and marketing lately and I really like what I've seen so far and the direction it's going.
Like you say as it turned out, the Cedar Court meeting was probably the difference between us getting in SL and not getting in.'"
I was told more about the good news from the a Membership officer- an employee of the club i was told a "notable overseas half back" and had a name confirmed.
This obviously now isn;t the case, so I was hoodwinked but not by normy cat or anyone else but by this club employee.. in true fan style I then spread the word to all my mates and a number of the go down to the shop and whilst I am thrilled glen has signed tinge of dissappointment also ......
This isn;t good PR

Is it bad PR or a gullible supporter? I don't mean to be disrespectful, but if the club are trying to create a mystique and interest in the store opening, why would a membership officer then go and tell all beforehand?
As for other people being underwhelmed, nobody from the club ever billed the signing as a major one, I believe the phrase used was 'One that will make many people happy'. We had a couple of vague tweets and the forum rumour mill took 2+2 and turn it into 5.

| By the way that doesn't mean I'm unhappy with this announcement in fact totally the opposite. I've wanted morro to be kept on in a coaching / advisory capacity of some sort as I believe he has a wealth of knowledge and experience that he can pass on to our young back rowers. He showed in the exiles game that he can still cut it as a player at a very high standard and with a lot stronger squad and more experienced players around him next season a weight will be taken off his shoulders as he won't be the only leader on the park. Hopefully we'll get isAc johns paperwork sorted and bring in a prop or two and then we won't be far off at all. Still think there will be some departures as well but as long as were replacing them with better players which in the main we have done so far then we should go ok. Not expecting a top four finish or anything but if were pushing for the eight I'll be happy

| My informant was either wrong, or winding me up - the Morrison deal certainly can't be described as 'massive.'
It's good to have the Morro situation wrapped up though and his retention in a player/coach role is another positive for next season; I'm convinved he doesn't have a full season in him, but as an impact player, he could be devastating.
I'm sure there are more to come though - the half back saga continues!

You are a complete tool whs had a sense of humour bypass take it you were one of the clueless idiots to take it all in. Get a grip you loser. And you're right nothing posted on here should be taken seriously, it's a forum that is full of wind up merchants, some who are slightly in the know some who think they're in the know and others who pretend to be in the know don't believe anything unless it's posted on the official site or from the clubs official twitter /facebook site.

Absolutely over the top and not necessary in response to a very valid point and exactly what I was thinking. Its posters like you that remind me why I never post on this forum. Yeah its a right laugh making rubbish up and seeing how many people you can drag in. Tell your hilarious mate/fatha not to ring 999 when hes had a few lagers.

| Waiting on visas for the two halves.
Isaac John & Tim Smith.
I would much rather we wait until we have this sorted before announcing anything.
Isaac shouldn't be a problem, he has no previous and a clean background with reasonable NRL experience.
Tim on the other hand has a great deal of experience at the top level, has previously obtained a visa, but lets just say a "colourful" backstory. He may be an issue. Won't have come cheap though so we can always take his potential wage back to Australia and scout another player.
Nothing to worry over, just yet anyway. Bluey won't be over until the end of next month anyway.

Will you be coming down to BV next season to watch him then, or just commenting from the safe distance of your armchair?
