Gower could be a smoke screen while finishing touches put to other signings?

I would hold your breath on that.

I was talking to a player about him and he said he does so much work in the middle for the team he has to stay and start.

Come on El Rey release your knowledge!

I dont know anything other than we have been in touch with McShane, a few clubs will have.

Bosch, well maybe Agars talked him into it.

In the dark with you on this.

Washbrook has a high tackle count but He is often 2nd, 3rd man into the tackle. I think he is solid. That's about it. He does a job but I think Annakin could offer more from the 13 position.

Either way ill support washy and cheer him on like the rest of the team.

Fair enough




Washbrook is a solid player but offers nothing in attack. Personally I would start him just until their attack is a bit tired then maybe have Annakin off the bench to attack? I'm not a coach so..

George Griffin would be a great signing for you guys !!
Tyler Hepi also would do well with you !

If Agar has bagged Bosc, I'll be chuffed - he's still a dangerous player and has a bit of Gallic flair in attack.

For me, McShane would also be a decent acquisition - he's got sufficient dog in him to be up for the scraps we'll be in next season.

double post

Which club is Clint greenshields at? Seems decent

Griffin would be decent. Club trained as well I think??
Is Tyler Hepi the lad who played for Glous last year and was there best player by far?? Ended up at HKR?

What a difference a few days makes! We've gone from struggling to field a side to now talking about signing an Aussie international (all be it a few years ago!) and the current French stand off!!

North Queensland last year... just retired.

Think he's signed to play the season with Limoux.

Sorry I meant retired from first class RL... I am sure he will potter around for a while...

Speaking of pottering did anybody pick up on Korky captaining Greece in the first full international in Hungary last month???

Apparently he and Braith Anasta ran coaching workshops during the first week of the new domestic season then played in the international in Budapest.

According to wikipedia we have signed vickery from Leeds when did this happen

Hopefully, like many things on wiki, its utter garbage, which coincidently also describes his playing ability.

Did you just do that?

I can't see how anyone would have found that if they hadn't done it!

Wiki also says Bosc has signed a 2 year deal with Saints

If and I know it's a big if but if correct we would be fast becoming Leeds A team.

wow he is absolute pants !!

If they keep giving us good players I'm ok with that.

We have
mathers
Smith
Fox
Ali
Moore

who all played for Leeds
.....but only Smith and Moore actually came from Leeds and we had Moore first so hardly an issue.

And I'm happy with all those players to be honest.

As long as we have a team I do not care where they come from.

Just being Devils Advocate here, but couldn't the recent developments down at BV be seen as an advertisement for not bringing through players.
5 players sold for + £250k who didn't cost us anything to develop.
Not having a worthwhile development system doesn't seem to have hampered Shudds!

Sam and Joel Tompkins probably netted Wigan £1m. Sam Burgess went for £400k. Fielden went for something similar. Trinity got decent amounts for Ellis and Westwood (circa £150k).
