So we can get Walker, Thompson but not a decent centre?

not heard his name

a) Ever?
b) Not in connection with rejoining The Bulls?
c) Ironic comment?

Past his brilliant best, but would rip it up in The Championship - should you be able to "consciously uncouple" from Patton.

Things seem a little more upbeat on here. Long may it continue!

you have no affiliation with the bulls but i feel you are a genuinely good bloke. If I ever get back to england, i'll buy you a beer

Let's see. Someone earlier was saying Blackmore was earmarked for the centres which everyone would agree would be rather sub-optimal.

Given we're going to be a on a smaller budget following the crap season in 2022 we're going to be short somewhere in the squad.

We've (FC) been linked with Wallace this evening.

What's your thoughts on him? I've not really seen any games he's played in, can he make the step up to SL?

I'd assumed he'd signed for Cas tbh

Wallace didn’t sign for Cas because big nige mover the goal posts

AJ has the potential to be a good player. Just lacks a little bit of size.

How and why?

Wouldn’t mind keeping Wallace for next year haha! Saw Webster, Chisholm and Hitchcox at the game last night! Wouldn’t mind those three haha!

On a different note. We start the 2023 season at home to Whitehaven.

Wallace was set to transfer to Cas with part of the deal being that Wallace would stay at the bulls next season, then big nige decided he wanted a bit more money, Cas said no we will just take him for nothing next year when his contract is up if he is still available

See your PMs, CB.

Might be a good omen; Leigh started their record breaking 2022 season at home to Whitehaven. Here's hoping!

TBF it is our prerogative to decide what terms work best for us. Wallace has been a stand out and if he is under contract and in demand why wouldn't we push to try and get a bit more from the deal?

If Wallace wants to go play SL earlier then Cas probably isn't the best fit anyway if they are willing to loan him back to us for the season, whereas if someone else is willing to offer a bit more then the club are happier and so is he.

If he is content to wait for SL rugby, then he can play out his deal with us and go for free, probably on a higher wage cos there is no transfer fee involved.

Either way, club and Wallace need to be working together to get the best solution out of the deal.

George Roby looks a handy loan signing. Loads of potential.

Flanagan and Roby as the hookers then?

In talks with Hull FC

Would be two great additions IMO

Impressive signings if we get them. Particularly Tai who can play centre or wing. Scored a great try against Cook Islands.

Just hope it's not like all the coach applications we had from around the world then we end up with some from the Queeny 8th team.

Indeed. I'd keep the champagne on ice until the signings are actually confirmed.

Even completing their signing doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll actually play for us. I wonder if Phoenix Hunapo-Nofoas visa has come through yet?

I'd forgotten about him. Another one of Chalmers' cock ups.

From what I've read one of them should have no problem getting a visa. Less sure about the other.

His problem is he didn’t technically play the same sport
