I hear he's unsigned at the moment. Not sure what 'ull have planned but if he's a free agent, I recommend we offer him whatever it takes. Money, eldest daughters, whatever.

Not one of the biggest names in SL, but I have no idea why this is.

'Ull, if you don't want him, can we have him? PLEASE?

I'm sure he doesn't need a visa!

I've got a tenner and a curly wurly knocking round somewhere I can chip in.

Seriously though, he's quality, we should be targetting people like Tickle with quality and Super League experience. Like you mentioned elsewhere, we know all too well what he can do from our own experiences this season.

BUT one or two players of this sort of quality isnt enough.
Step in the right direction but you should be looking to target a few players of higher standard than this.

hes contracted next season, but they are rumours hes unsettled and wants to move back west to be near his children.

Halifax bound????

I wouldnt mind if he came back to Wigan tbh

'ull are having a sale atm, bag yourself a Thorman while you're at it.

Stay well clear.

Well obviously he must put his family first. But perhas they would like the clean and fresh air of South Wales? Just don't settle near Port Talbot.

Are there plenty of bookies down there?

Yeah mate loads.

Likes a flutter does he?

Will have to let him know about the new racetrack a bit further west up the M4.

Family based round Wigan now I think, I know he was haevily debating going Hull due to the misses (admitted that himself)!

Added with teams like Wire & Saints being linked I don't think Fax would be that high on the pecking list!

I can recommend the 'Gurnos' in Merthyr Tydfil if Mr Tickle fancies a move.

The word 'Gurnos' is a Welsh word, roughly translated it means 'Housing estate of extreme beauty and tranquility'

The Gurnos was voted 'best housing estate in South Wales' for the 25th year on the spin as this collection of photos will confirm.

First picture looks soooo lovely . Is that the one used on the club's official Christmas cards ?
Second picture looks autumnal.. You know.. The time of the year when pushchairs start falling from the trees...
Third picture kind of says to me that the pensioners round that way are taking the pi55 . Do they really need an extra winter heating allowance if their flats are that well heated ?

Ooo Barry,

That's just not nice.

The third picture is Lewistown not Gurnos.

And I've been up north. The houses shown would STILL be an improvement.

It's certainly right what they say Grenny....'It's grim oop north'

Have you considered becoming one of my Twitter followers??


Gutterfax has just joined??

Just for your information the third one is actually a picture of a crime scene where a mother and her two young daughters lost their lives folllowing an arson attack but there you go if that's how you get your kicks.

Danny is contracted to HULLFC next season but is wanting to be nearer his kids near Wigan. rumours are he will stay at FC next season. who knows

pants..

Brian Noble Head Coach
John Sharpe Assistance and will bring with him Danny Tickle and Paul King.

Ashton,

That sounds great to me. Just would be nice if our club would tell us ..... well ANYTHING really.

The amount of conspicuous silence emanating from our club is making me wonder if UKBA has deported our management too (and most of them are Welsh!)

Grendel, i'm not trying to throw a damper here but jesus that wouldnt be great..
King is, well, gash and I did tell you to bag Danny Tickle but if that's your idea of a marquee signing, you're in trouble.
Grab yourself that Boyle kid that's been released from Cas, could pay dividends in a few years, I cant work out why he's been released.
Oh yeh.. that Scrum half from paramatta.. how a bloke whos just been in an nrl final can only be offered 35k for next year I dont know unless I read it wrong.
Sharp/Noble.. interesting combo. Could either be genius or a major flop. I thought Sharp was alreet a few years back, but his recent record is, well, shocking. Nobles teams have always had no plan b's and he's been exposed time and time again at club level since that great Bradford team was dismantled. A good appointment for yourselves and vast experience but imho I don't think he's any great shakes, learnt his trade from the Bradford Smith Era and the times have moved on since then, i'm not convinced he has.
