All 3 trophies were there for the taking last year, and we blew the best chance we'll have for decades. Most teams in the league were Mickey poor and we still blew it.

So...the Leigh game comes round. Does a defeat signal the end? A win mean all is peachy?

Wow, we get important players back and they get the match fitness required and we have two good performances against top three sides. Fancy that.

It seems the board are sharing responsibility for our poor 2017 so far, and are activity looking for the best hb, prop and ........YES 3/4 for 2018.
Gidley and possibly Sims on the way home.

....furthermore, I hear one particular hb we've been linked with had been offered £4xx,xxx per year to play with us.
Much more than our neighbours could muster...but much less than bids from further afield!!

Yes all is good now. We are going to win SL.

Not what he said at all. The point about match fitness is a good one, whether you accept it or not. I actually think TS is probably close to the end of his tenure but obtuse posts like these do nothing to advance your cause.
That is not to say that I think Smith should be sacked this season, I don't .

I do not need or want to advance my cause. What will be will be. This forum is entertainment and discussion, it's not a campaign.

My mistake.

I've done some following up of the word coming out about signings....
We are already in talks with a 3/4. I don't know who that is.
Waiting on Wigan to exhaust talks with Williams.

Are these players who are being scouted for this year or are they next year's overpaid, under performing scapegoats.
Ye gods we haven't finished winning trophies this year yet.

Next years overpaid scapegoats I believe.

Duckie your inside tips are a bit lacking in specifics, if you were working for MI5 your handlers would burn you and let you get exposed as a tout for generics like this.

Lets have some proper gossip, names, timescales.

If you're finding it hard to get info, use a bit of tactical biff.

I think that the Duck is deliberately adopting the Sean Spicer school of information-spreading: tell 'em what they want to hear but keep it vague.

I can only tell you what I have heard.
I've been pretty much on the mark with gossip so I'm not going to make up a name to satisfy for naught.

I've said sometime ago we are after Williams, my guess is were waiting for Pies to try and keep him in their 2nd marquee. I don't think Leneghan has the clout. I hear he still owes London Broncos £1m in his share if debt when he left to buy Wigan.

Serious money of £400,000 per season I believe has been whispered to Williams from Warrington but I've heard that Aussies have offered even more than that.

Like I said we are talking to a 3/4 now...don't know who, he may no even get signed, just in talks. Plus we are after a Prop, my guess it's for Sims unless he take a hefty wage cut. He has been vocal about his wishes to remain, so it could be that we keep him but I'm sure we will sign another prop regardless.

News break in Australia David Mead has been talking to us.
Outside back utility and fast.
Plays mostly wing but representative at wing and fb. More recently 17 to cover as utility can play centre.

Yet you manage to turn three-quarters of naff all into page after page of meretricious flannel!

Looky here....

The Mead for speed, fantastic he's like a rocket, he gets my vote

But he can barely get a look in at Brisbane, who we beat. Therfore, he can't be that good.

Is he good enough to get in our back line?

He is......

But so is Kevin Penny. .....

I'm ok with being linked with Meade he shouldn't cost the earth and is more likely to be a Chris Hicks type signing for us . ..

Fancy that. Another win. Where are all the haters now?
