Any more news on this marquee centre rubber duckie was talking about

Yes, he also plays at half back

Wont really help but apparently a quote from a board member was it was a signing that 'will blow everyone's mind'

If its Eastmond i will be very underwhelmed. he didnt impress me that much when he came on the scene at Saints.....

Chris Sandow.

No inside knowledge but Ben Barba (not a centre I realise) has been mentioned on the Saints board,. Mind you they also claim Ratchford is signing for them...

How about Manu Tuilago? Possibly unsettled at Leicester, unlikely to play for England again and has brothers who have played Rugby League.

Hmmmm "Blow everyone's Mind"

I was just thinking who the were in the recent Aussie v Kiwi test?
They were:
Josh Dugan, & Will Chambers for Oz, and Jordan Kahu, and Dean Whare for NZ.

they are rightly good players to have earned a test jersey... "but blow my mind"...not a chance.

An Andrew johns Blow My mind type of player would be
Thurston, Inglis, Sonny Bill Williams, Andrew Fifita, Jarry Hayne (just), Jason Taumilolo, (probably a few others but they aren't jumping out at me right now) they are game breakers, big players, star names...

the next level would be a wow! the Shaun Johnson's, Jordan Rapana's, James Tedesco's of this world

and next there are plenty of rising stars like Kane Elgy Ash, Taylor, latrell Mitchell (the next Greg Inglis for me) who would certainly surprise me, but as not really established wouldn't blow my mind....and I 'd be curious to why a young player would come to Superleague.

I hope its not Benji Marshall......

Ive never heard of him...and never seen him play

I'd be in the "not mind blown category" if he was the signing.

Hopefully not anyone from Aus or NZ looking for a pension.

If it’s none of the above, who’s closer to home who would blow our minds in a controversial sense i.e. someone making an unexpected switch from a close rival? Can’t think of anyone personally.

Owen Farrell? (just for laughs)

I think whoever it is we will be underwhelmed. We are crying out for a wow factor centre, but i cannot see who would be available or want to come to Super league who is in that bracket....

Id love it to be Inglis, but with his recent troubles the 1% chance we would of had of getting him would of evaporated.

As i said earlier i really really hope it isn't Eastmond!!

Is the Mosse Masoe rumour signed until the end of the season once he's been passed fit after his ACL still doing the rounds ?

got told today its tommy makinson,the lad who told me is a salford and man utd fan who thinks smalling is englands best defender..

Ratchford to St Helens. www.redvee.net/forums/showthread ... -Ratchford

I'm guessing Kenny-Dowall which really doesn't float my boat at all. Fits the bill and the rumours.

well if we signed a player just charged with cocaine possession I'd certainly go "wow".

And if convicted i'm not sure what that does to his chances of getting a visa

Quote ="Builth Wells Wire"Ratchford to St Helens. www.redvee.net/forums/showthread ... -Ratchford'" Well since Ratchford isn`t out-of-contract, we must be doing a player exchange deal, & Mark Percival is on his way to Warrington. Happy Days.

Watkins in exchange for ............. add name of player here.

I saw Eastmond mentioned in a newspaper report a few days ago & to me it wouldn't make sense to let Ratchford go anywhere. If we are so desperate for an explosive centre just move Ratch to #3 & play Gidley at fullback.

Ratchford is our best back by a mile so it wouldn't surprise me if we let him go and bring in a worse replacement.

'The Warrington way'

Patten, Dwyer and Ratchford for Watkins would be fair.

Centre/half back signing that will "blow your mind" .....mmmm...doubtful.

Ok Sid Domic, who else?
