Noble is at the richest club in the league, and what has he done?

Jarryd Hayne is not mediocre and is morer betterer than Nobby and Kear put together. And he's fitter aswell. He's such a babe.

He is? When did he leave Wigan?

if that's my statement you're referring to you've taken it wildly out of context to suit your own nonsense. Its a very subjective opinion of mine and I'm talking about the slightest of differences between teams over 5 years at the top of their game, which is hardly comparable to Nobles Wigan, GB or Celtic.

I will provide you with a fact though as you seem to be short of them to support your lucky theme, of the 17 players that won Noble his first trophy for us, only 4 were in the 17 that won his last with us. Luck? I don't think so.

This has got to be a Boazza "Nom de Plume"

Ha, think Jim Carter has had a few too many brandy's! Shame though because a player like Moi Moi would make a huge difference to our pack. The sort of impact player we have missed since Big Joe. Burgess has sort of taken up this role recently, but I think he has more to his game than running through people.

Another rumour to throw into the mix is halfback Tom Hemmingway from Huddersfield according to someone on the bbc forum, apprantly he's heard from someone inside the Bulls camp that he will be cover for Deacon.

The ultimate insult.

THe lad who couldn't get in the Batley, Halifax, Leigh or Huddersfield side.

Sounds perfect for us then...

However mediocre Noble was, I don't recall him losing a first round play off match ever....

He's only ever lost 2 play off games.

I spoke to Tom last night, but he wouldn't say much. Gave me a wink when I mentioned the Bradford rumour, but I don't know if he was winding me up!!

Please god Nooooooooooooooooooooo.

I rate him. He was awesome against Saints the other week. Hasn't been given a chance at Huddersfield. We never have cover half backs, and I can't imagine he could demand much money.

What's wrong with using one of our reserve or academy team half backs as cover?

Nothing whatsoever, but it never seems to happen does it? whenever we are sruggling for a halfback we play someone out of position.

Something he obviously learned from Tony Smith.

They probably aren't good enough. It's all well and good saying "use the kids", but if we haven't got any capable of playing in the first team, then what's the point in putting someone in just because he's a member of our academy side?

The few times I've seen the reserves sides this year, I haven't been all that impressed with the halves. Jonny Horton looks like he might make a step up at hooker, but not the halves. Although I have only seen them a few times, so probably aren't as qualified to say so as some will be.

But Tom Hemmingway isn't good enough that's why he's been released by Huddersfield and i rather we gave Joe Wardle or Liam Kay a go instead of signing rubbish like Hemmingway.

I'm not saying Hemingway is good enough. Was purely commenting on why we may not use our academy players, not justifying the potential signing of Hemingway.

Fairs enough.

GREG Bird's NRL career could be revived by the Gold Coast Titans pending the outcome of an appeal against his conviction for glassing his American girlfriend.

The former Australian Test five-eighth has been in outstanding form for the France-based Catalan Dragons in English Super League, with Dragons coach Kevin Walters keen for him to stay on next year.

Bird, who was sentenced to at least eight months jail after being convicted for recklessly wounding Katie Milligan, is due to appeal against the verdict in the District Court on November 23-24.

French sources say Bird has been sounded out by the Titans as halves partner for skipper Scott Prince in 2010.

Centres Chris Walker and Brett Delaney will play for English clubs Bradford and Leeds next year, and the Titans are keen to strengthen their backline stocks.

Walker was signed by the Titans as a foundation player in 2007 despite a troubled past in the NRL, and after a rocky beginning proved a model citizen.

Bird played two Tests for Australia and four Origin games for the Blues in 2007-08.

He has put on weight since moving to France after being shown the door by Cronulla, and has been playing lock for Catalan, who beat Wakefield 25-16 in an elimination final yesterday.

If circumstances allowed the Titans to sign Bird it is unlikely the NRL would intervene, although it has issued an edict to clubs that if they sign a player with a poor record they are equally culpable if there is further trouble.

Bird's manager Gavin Orr confirmed last night the Titans had expressed interest, along with several other clubs.

"I get calls from clubs from time to time wanting to know what Greg might do," Orr said. "The Titans have been in touch, but everything hinges on his court case."

According to todays LE , semi has been offfered more that we can offer and will be off to join Les or Shonney at either Bath or Glost.

Also in the same article , Hood deines that we are in for Chris Walker, and says that the the Kearney deal is not yet done.
