The only new coach we will get is a 53 seater to pick up the remaining home supporters if we continue to play like we have for far too long.

Any update I may have missed.
Last news Chester said million miles away.
Its most unlike the club to announce.
Was it a diversion tactic

Heard nothing but I don't think the club announced it really. It was leaked out to the press via the team bus and since then the club have downplayed it without actually denying it.

Can’t see it happening though there’s always a chance it could come off.

I suppose we have a quota spot and some money to bring someone in though.

Club are waiting for the right time to announce it.

So is it a done deal then homme.
How many games would he have played if not suspended.
Could it be he will be sitting out his susp in Aus.

That's my understanding, if he was to come over now he wouldn't be available for selection as he would have to quarantine so that would push his ban out a couple of weeks.

Think he has 2 games left of the suspension.

Why can’t he serve the ban whilst in quarantine?

how can some serve a ban while not being able to play in the first place, in fact did you really have to ask that

He's not here yet because he hasn't signed yet. Chesters latest inview today tallies pretty much with what i heard last week and put on here, that the change of coach has delayed things as Fitzgibbon wants to review the entire roster before signing off on decisions and the interim coach has said he has a clean slate for this year once his ban is done, so if he gets back in their team after it's over i doubt we'll be seeing him. If he remains in the reserves then we might just see him late May.

According to Chezzie in today's Wakefield Express, it was Andrew who initially asked Dave if we would be interested in signing him. a couple of discussions have taken place but nothing has yet been finalised and he also has 3 kids in school in Aus to consider too.

He's signed

Old news regurgitated off here probably.

Chester said it in his press conference today.

As I say, the club are waiting for the right time to announce it.

Genuinely hope you are right. My info was it was agreed but nothing was actually yet signed but time will tell. For what it's worth i think he'll be here but we might be looking at the Hull KR game at home at bestbefore we see him.

I know.

Sorry. Am I following this right. Are you saying we've signed him?

I'll take silence as a no then.

I know he’s signed some sort of deal, what I can’t be sure of is whether he will actually arrive. As we all know they are not the same thing. All contracts have get outs etc etc.

I remember Tony Smith proudly telling us all he had the signature of a young player called Joe Westerman. We did indeed sign him for about a week then he bailed as he was entitled to do, it was in his contract.

I reckon the club are playing it vague just in case things happen. Like me I suspect they won’t believe it until he’s actually here.

Hope that helps

So you're telling me that if a suspended player comes down with Covid they'll wait until he's recovered and then start his ban?

Link to the press conference mentioned above?

Why?

No we are talking about a player that could be transferred to us with a ban that won't be able to play due to having to isolate because of government rulings coming from abroad, not one who is already signed with a club then getting a ban and then catching covid but you may of found a get out silly as sounds
