Your not going to become the best side in super league by paying players inflated wages.
You have to manage a salary cap (or cheat) so anyone who thinks we can simply wave a cheaque book and get a great squad over night is deluded

That said if you are a winning side you can offer competition win bonus as an incentive. This would make it even harder for us to sign a player from wigan, warrington, saints etc.

Lynch signing expected to be announced early next week !!

sauce ?

No thanks !

erm where did u get that info from then?

HP or Daddies

Brown Houses of Parliament, please.

NRL News @NRLNews
RR: The Newcastle Herald reports that current Knights back Shannon McDonnell is set to sign with an un-named ESL side.

Hopefully it won't be us, I've got a funny feeling who it is though.

Heard we might get some news on Lynch soon?

Lets hope this gets done soon then.

He use to be at Wests ?

need a right centre now then a backrower

Agar?

Our inbred cousins across the river?

Looks unimpressive to say the least. Utility back released by both his clubs and a fair few injuries. Not sure this is the signing for the final push to the Season Pass launch.

The HDM editor has said there has been "mixed" reaction to the Lynch story. I don't understand why.

1) Injury record? Er, no. Appearances in the last 5 seasons: 27, 25, 24 ,26, 25.
2) Effectiveness? I've posted his stats before:
4th highest metres made in the comp after Tomkins, Roby and Graham
3rd in the comp for offloads with 50 so far this season
9th in the comp for tackles - 699
5th in the comp for carries - 463
3) Age? Warrington have the oldest squad in the competition in terms of over 30s and aren't looking too shabby, including Morley, who at 34 is older than Lynch would be at the end of a 2 year deal.
4) Attitude? Captain of the Bulls, arguably their most respected player, and "has made clear his desire to move to the KC Stadium."

If we signed him we'd have Ogre, Moa, Lynch, O'Carroll and Radford. With the lack of props in the market (remember the protracted chase for Fielden last year), I'd be very pleased with this.

Lynch has proved in a very mediocre side to be one of the best props in the league. He will prove to be a very good signing and probably give you the strongest panel of props in the league. Top 4? I think fourth spot could be up for grabs as it looks to me like the Nathan Brown factor is showing signs of of wearing off.

Been mixed reaction on twitter, age teens to be the issue. I don't care as he will be a top signing imo. Fans want major signings, whatever those are? Not every player can come from the NRL.

At the end of the day we need a top quality Prop and he seems to be the best that is available and is currently one of the best in the league, If we can get him we need to snap him up.

I reckon we won't be the only side interested in him

My experience of "fans" reaction is that it tends to be a good contrarian indicator. So the worse it is the better I feel.

I will be more than happy if we get Lynch, what a lot of fans fail to understand is props peak later usually peaking at around 28/9, and still offer quality for the next few years, so his age is irrelevant.
Props are like a good wine.

Hahahaha have you not checked wade and seymours injury records

I'm suprised your willing to come back round these parts after being unmasked as the utter saddo you are the other week.
