NTSC National Television System for Colour or in the old days known more colloqially as Never the Same Colour Twice

SECAM is or was the French Colour system can't remember much about it but I think the S stood for Sequencial

Séquentiel couleur à mémoire.

And I remembered that, heaven knows from where - may have been French at school, although I just googled it to check, and to make sure I got the accents in the right place. (good job too cos I would have spelt the first word the English way...)

I can assure you he is not. I met "Ken" - how many of you original forum/chatroom hands realised he was a teenager? Don't think FA has aged THAT quickly...

I've already got several life pals, though. And you can't get them just like that, anyway.

Why are you interested in my friends, though? Haven't you got any at skule?

Sorry to go all ot on the thread

but, regarding Elima;

"Done deal, to join Bulls next season"

I've heard this in a couple of places now, seems to be one thats likely to happen.

I wonder if we can get a buy one, get one free on Bosc.

I'd take that. I'ts slightly worrying that we've not been linked with a 6, there is still time mind.

I just hope we're not going with orford 7, Kearney 6 backed up by southenwood/sykes. I'd rather sign a 6, keep BK at 1 and have orford at 7 new signing at 6 backed up by southenwood/kearney.

Also it would be useful to aquire a decent placekicker as Orford and Sykes are hardly top drawer at this (Especially as Sykes doesn't make my 13 next year!)

If weve managed to secure Elima, fantastic, if we manage to secure Dowes aswell thats good news too.

Agreed 100%. Elima would be a good addition as we're lacking grunt in the pack. We really really need some cover at halfback though. I'd be amazed if Potter went into 2011 with BK, Sykes, Orford and Southernwood sharing duties. It's obvious to anyone that two of those aren't halfbacks, one is coming back from a bad injury and the other is a relative novice.

Yes, I'd be happy with Elima signing too, we have good prospects in the back row but we also need some ready now grunt as you say. If Worrincy is off as looks likely then Elima takes his squad spot and no-one could argue that isn't a serious upgrade to the pack.

I took the clubs comments about sykes that have been reported on here as they know he's not a first choice option at half, but the big decision I guess is where does Potter see Kearneys best spot, at 1 like me or at 6 like Macca wanted?

Not to sure weather the rumors that we were signing Reardon are true, says in the Salford Advertiser, Salford are understood to have fought off competition to land Paleaasina and Bailey, and it also states we're targeting Sean Gleeson and these signings would complete the recruitment drive.

i agree fantastic new if we have signed Elima as adds grunt to pack plus has a good off load too.

keep hearing rumour linking Loui Mcarthy Scarsbrook with us be happy if true

some seem to think we are one of clubs in for anthony thackery which wouldnt supprise me as can play stand off

Andy Wilson in Grauniad thinks LMS to Saints is a done deal.

yep but wasnt it andy wilson who also said mcdermot would defo be new bulls coach plus dont know why saints would want him with having signed josh perry plus also having graham as well unless he is off to oz at end of season

With Donald retiring at the end of the season and Eastwood departing Leeds should be in the market for a couple of players.

Judging from Brian Mac's recent worrying comments about Quins there may be a few more players up for grabs soon - but would anyone want them?

ive heard rumours that next year youll have no decent players and will finish bottom any thoughts?

You are an idiot is my first thought.

Will be well chuffed with Elima. Lets hope it's just a start though.

The lad who posted that on our board is seldom wrong about such things. Glad to see more Frenchmen in Super League outside the Dragons deep down, but superficially..... f***sticks

Must agree, i would like to see Elima in a Bulls shirt.

Scarsbrook is Wigan bound i heard? As they will lose Feka and Bailey.

Might sound daft this, but when is Gareth Hock due back playing? He was one of the best forwards in the league, and if he has cleaned his act up and can regain his form and fitness, he might be a good signing?

That's as I understand it too Mat

Another couple of weeks before school is back?

we need backs not props!!!!

Won't Smith take up Donald's wages (as IIRC he's not on a right lot atm)

Then part of Eastwood's wages will be used to cover players re-signing on bigger contracts (Bailey, Diskin etc) so I would expect you'll only bring in 1 player (overseas) but I could be wrong.
