Lets get the ball rolling





I've heard Shannon McDonnell on a two year deal and Danny tickle on a three year deal starting 2013.

Any more?

Well theres a Rumour Wirethunders back on the best R L site

Danny tickle , ive heard if Brears doesnt come looking at Sam Obst ! believe hes at keighly cougars playing top drawer too!

Eamon O'Carroll to Widnes next week?

He has been released from his 3 year deal at Hull so could be a possibility for you guys

Well Cullen did say after props as we need to win more battles in the forwards.Finnigan,Leuluai,Pickersgill and Cross of the pace.But I admit Cross has improved lately.Ben Davies is another question mark.

Vince Mellars

Really? personally i think Davies has been a beast this year.

O'Carroll is very injury prone

Nothing wrong with Ben Davies, still young and has stood up well this year.

Swap ya for Willie Isa.

Rather have Cameron Phelps.

I said question mark as still unsure about him.One of the better ones i admit, that is why i put the others before him to be released.Maybe we will see him more attacking with a few more powerful props.O Carroll seems a worry, as they say too small or injury prone?If that is the case i rather spend on a bigger unit.Kite has the size just not seen enough of him to say if worth a gamble.

Well NO Deal then.

Isa has been .

Your right in that O'Carrol seems injury prone, but before his move to Hull he was doing good things at wigan. his 'beasting' of adrian morley springs to mind, he could be worth a shot.
I think Kite's problem is just fitness. he certainly has the size, i think he could do well with a full and well planned pre season under his belt.

sorry, are you referring to when Morley broke his own cheekbone on o'carroll's head, in feb 2007, 5 years ago?

you say that, I call it 'tactical use of the face in a display of overwhelming force'

Fresh of the press this one

happy franks coming in as assistant to Dennis

I'm hearing Francis Meli to Widnes.

Danny Tickle signed a while ago.

We're speaking to big name player from Aus as well.

Reliable source.

I think Tickle is a certain now mate as too strong a rumour and wants to live near Wigan.The other teams nearby have strong secondrowers already like Warrington,Saints and Wigan.
So what postion is this NRL player mate?

Yep - he signed the same week as Brown.

I didn't squeeze that out of my source. I did squeeze some other insightful information out of him about the player though which gives him a glowing rep. Only talks at this stage.

Well I would image we have done the following:


[uSigned but yet to be confirmed[/u

Joe Mellor
Stefan Marsh
Danny Tickle

[uRumoured to be signing[/u

Francis Meli
Paul Clough
Bryn Hargreaves
Luke Robinson
Scott Grix
Unknown Aussie Half Back
Unknown Aussie Prop x2


[uPossibly Moving on[/u

Steve Pickersgill
Ben Cross
Kurt Haggerty
John Kite


No way will we sign more than 5 imo for next season (not including Brown)

Ben Cross has improved alot lately, and recently tweeted me saying that the ball is in their court.Kite is another who i am unsure of, and if have some patience could be a good one.Pickgersgill puts alot of effort in, but his problem is giving away penalities.Leuluai and Finnigan have got to go and a few others borderline.

Pickersgill has given the most penalties away in SL. Would be interesting to see how many tries have been scored off the back of this. If he cuts the penalties he's a good player but I just can't see it happening.

pickersgill is not SL standard full stop he definately is not a starting prop not even a guy to have on the bench.

there is a reason warrington sent him down a division
