No one seems to know who Andy Wilson was on about if indeed there was a player identified!

Some were guessing Brett Stewart others suggested Matt Bowen and ive seen Junior Sa mentioned elsewhere all speculation and i doubt we'd get Stewart.

Don't know a lot about him but is any better than what we already have?

I think these names were all on that long list that Brian McD referred to but I don't know whether any contact was made with them or their agents.From what I hear there is still the probability of signing a quality NRL player (I have not been told a name) but whether he would be classed a maor NRL star might be open to debate.

Imo i hope its an explosive BR or Prop especially if we aren't recalling Amor.
In terms of FB that's Hardakers with Watson and Sunley the upcoming understudys (both capable as wingers aswell) then we have the centre spot if we intend on sending Keinhorst out on Dual Reg then give it to Ablett for a year ,unless its a Marquee arrival i dont see the point in overseas signings now especially if they are the calibre of Hauraki.

I tend to agree with you. However sometimes it's difficult to work out GH and BMcD's logic in signing players and the signing might already have been made. So what might have been considered a position to fill ie full back no longer is such a priority now with Hardaker. Previously on this thread Gotcha said he had been told that the Rhinos had already made a big name overseas signing. If this is correct it might not be in the forwards but in the backs reflecting Webb leaving?

We definately need a top centre if Hardaker is moving to FB.. and as i've said many times we need a gamebreaker in the back row in the Ali Lauititi mode. Don't see too much need for any further changes unless Kylie calls it a day.. i've not seen us linked with any of the above so far so i don't hold up much hope but i trust the great GH

That's a yes then!

Did you know Andy Wilson said on twitter that we've made a big name signing?

I agree on a quality centre and an Ali type back-rower and for better or worse I have faith in GH! I want us to remain the top side.

Aarrghh!!!

Today is the deadline if we are going to re-sign Amor. It's getting late and I think it might not happen. Do you think GH might have signed Taylor and therefore no need for Amor?

What do you think?

I'd like to think we might sign Taylor but I'm pessamistic and I don't think Amor will return. Therefore we could be light in the props especially after 2013 if JP and Kylie both retire.

Horror of horrors, Amor might actually be happy at Wakefield and might not want to come back.

Well we will soon find out! If we signed Taylor instead though it would be OK.

Colton Roche is leaving to go play in the toyota cup in oz

Has this been confirmed, if so, where? Will we have the first option on resigning him if he comes back to the UK?

No official confirmation, Colton himself has tweeted earlier this evening that I "looks like I'm off to Sydney to play Toyota cup"

If I was a young lad with a similar/decent talent/ambition I'd be doing the same thing......think this option of playing down under will become progressively more of an issue for British RL if we don't give more of our young talent the first team opportunity here much sooner.

Stevie Ward must feel much more contented about staying in SL knowing he is valued.

I wish Colton well and hope it works out for him i think he has potential and the right attitude and although a strong running BR with a reasonable offload he's done some decent stints at Prop against alot bigger fellas but takes the big hits well and can hit himself.

Psst - whatever the 2011 Grand Final result might have been, you're about two years too late...

Why? We've competed in every available final for the past 2 years. Some people......

He said "the" top side. Not "a" top side.

Anyone who believes in all seriousness that Leeds have been the top side in the competition over the last two years (remind me who competed in the 2010 Grand Final and 2011 WCC again?) has rocks in their head.
