Wouldn't it be nice seeing as there's so much speculation about, that Lenegan and Maguire were to prepare a press release for tomorrow to announce the signings of Hoffman, Lima and Finch.



That way its all out in the open and everyone knows where they stand.

Good job your adding a bit of quality for next season because your current squad ain't doin' much

"little" Michaell Shenton

Off to Saints apparently

Louie Mccarthy Scarsbrook ?

Erm yeah, thats the fella....

Note the third word of the story, "poised".
I hope we don't all end up being gutted because it's just paper talk.

I disagree, leave it untill we have claimed top spot. Hopefully.

It could provide an extra buzz around the team/town if it was announced just before this week's big game though...

It could also provide a major distraction. I remember Widnes announcing Jonathan Davies signature just before a John Player / Regal Trophy final v Wigan at Bolton. Widnes were favourites but Wigan won.

Was that the game when Hanley came back after being missing due to a massive bust up?
Cracking game anyhow!

yes but that widnes side was the best around for years.

signing davies was a GOOD thing for that side.

I thought LMS= Lima, Mossop and Slater

LMS is overated, hes not consistent either

Quote ="MidlandsWarrior2"LMS is overated, hes not consistent either'" Agreed. Regarding Finch guys: www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/nrl/f ... 5890958364 It's either us lot or you lot. Reckon there's 50/50 pulling him both ways, but financially I hope Hoffman and Lima have taken up a lot of your cap lol

Down at the bottom of this report it says Steve Mattai is considering offers from SL. Whilst it probably won't be us, I really like this guy.

Good point. Whatever we've been doing so far this year seems to be working!

If we bring in Lima, Hoffman and Finch with Phelps, Bailey, Paleaaesina and Riddell leaving then that is one hell of a recruitment coup imo. It's a blow to lose Riddell but the other 3 haven't really been of much value to the squad this year(Phelps could have been but injury has ruined his season) and to replace them with forwards of the calibre of Lima and Hoffman is fantastic.

I just hope they come off and Fielden and Coley stay on. Add Hock into the mix mid season and it's an explosive thought.

FYI the replay of the Bulldogs V's the Melborne Storm is about to start on MSK sports channel 433 on Sky.

A good chance to maybe see Lima/Hoffman/Quinn and Finch in action..

I will be like a pig in Sh@t if these rumours are true... Wigan are back big time...

Indeed. We need an announcement from the club. Until then I ain't buying it!

I hear sales of those blue pills have taken a real dive in Wigan today

No Doubt... obviously I don't need them anyway



I bet you're cursing me after persuading/encouraging you to keep going with the attendance updates for the big one 2....



Looking good after what looked like a slow start.

Thanks for the encouragement mate, we could be sold out tomorrow.

I have just switched to MSK Lima has just come on and Finch looks handy. Is Hoffman playing?

Hoffman has been out injured for a while so not sure

Your Welcome



Melbourne are an awesome team... A shame really they have to be desimated because of the SC breaches.

Hoffman and Quinn are not playing. shame really because I would have liked to have seen Quinn play because he seems to be the one everyone thinks we can do without and obviously hoffman because he is the most definate to sign/signed.
