Is it anything over 150k? The marquee rule?
Clifford is on about 200k in aus (I think)

What about Taylor? Far worse than the Shaul deal

Good chance we would have finished bottom without Connor last year. Let's be honest no team with Reynolds, Gale and Houghton as their pivots are never going to finish in the playoffs.
Connor couldn't do it his own, we should look alot more creative and balanced if we can sign a good quality 7.'"
He was chalk and cheese for me. When he was on he was unplayable, when he was off he was practically another player for the opposition.

| Quote ="GrahamBray"Of course they can, without naming names "negotiations with a replacement half are ongoing" etc. You get a grip, people are anxious, we were rubbish with our best player in the team, he's gone, no comment from the Club, purported to be in negotiation with Jake Clifford, all hinging on Luke Brooks leaving Wests. Anxiety among fans is understandable, given that with Jake we were ninth and awful, and he alone probably kept us from relegation, so lets all be jolly calm now he's gone. Ho hum!'"
Have you ever seen a club issue a press release saying that they are in negotiations with a player?
It's only October. If we've not signed a half back by Christmas then yes lets worry until then I'm calm aside from getting wound up by the chaos in government.

| Leigh will some good signings, but an absolute basket case of an owner, shocking rebrand (has to be a wind up surley), going to be entertaining to watch, but think it will only go one way.

The age of that squad, especially the backline would be a concern.

| Quote ="The Dentist Wilf"Strange one that Dave Wakey were really keen on keeping him at the end of last season and they are certainly light on players I wondered if they were gong for Walker but obviously not. I sincerely hope we aren't hanging out for a fee. For if Jake doesn't warrant one then Shaul certainly doesn't. We need that cap space to beef up the forwards. Perhaps Wakey were not offering enough against what he is getting or maybe he is due a Benefit soon and thinks he'd be better placed doing that at the FC. perhaps Trim have signed Hardacker. whatever the reasons he's certainly surplus to requirements with our current in coming players.'"
He (Shaul) was demanding too much money from Wakey

| Some reports is Aus, suggesting Brooks will stay at Wests, does that mean we don't get Clifford?
Surley we haven't messed this up?

| Newcastle still have Clune, Mann, Crossland, Gamble as options for 23. I'd heard that they were moving Ponga to 6 too...
Plenty of straw clutching though

Yeah point taken but its come to a lot when only the Tories make us look good, Christ, to even suggest as some are, to bring back a man whose integrity was exposed on numerous occasions as being at best questionable, and at worst corrupt, makes me shudder at what this country's governance has become, surely the worst we have ever had. And I grew up under Thatcher.

They were also rumoured to be in for Jake Turpin from the Broncos, so I am sure we will get our man,which one though is anyone's guess, although Gamble, from what I've seen is never a half. He's a fierce competitor and very much a mongrel type of player, but I don't think he'll be in front of Clifford in their pecking order.

The Aussie press saying he’s been granted a release to sign for us and Dan Tomlinson is pretty confident he’s signing too.
We know how the club like their Friday night announcements so here’s hoping.

All the press releases I've seen says his release depends on Brooks signing.
Fingers crossed its soon.

| Quote ="Dave K."New coach probably stopped the deal, not really surprised as think they already have a better fullback than Shaul at Wakey in Jowitt. Can't see him getting a SL contract now and our only chance would be to release him to a championship club with us paying most of his salary.
I suppose like others he gets a fresh start, can Smith do what no other coach has managed and get Shauls passing and decision making up to the level of other top fullbacks.'"
This world cup has proven off the cuff plays are the most dangerous to defend
Shaul is off the cuff
Connor no pace no defence any time a team broke the line was a try !
Don't think shaul will start full back as think hoy will
But hope shaul gets a proper chance to prove himself under Smith

Shauls off the cuff style has gone, can't remember the last time he scored or set up a try like he did in 2017.
Their is a reason no SL club wants him, probably champion ship standard now, but wages are too high.

Absolutely, although that's more to do with injuries than ability.

Is this bloke a parody? He’s had some of the worst possible takes I’ve seen.
Shaul’s one asset was his pace/running game which he appears to have lost. Smith likes his teams to play with the ball. Shaul has proven time and time again he’s not a pivot.
Jack walker is a fantastic player and will be back in SL in no time. If he’s injury free walks into most SL sides

When I read the first couple of pages, I was convinced it was a wind up. Then it slowly dawned on me they were being serious.
The photo shopped players are brilliant.
I think David Brent wrote the presentation.
