I don't know honestly what it is.

A signing that a top class Australian full-back will be playing for us next season apparently.

This was so called going to be announced if we lost against Leeds.

I'll be honest, I'm sceptical.

I heard they were going to finally let everyone know how many Weetabix Feka can eat now that he is leaving.

Me too!

Weve got enough players who can play full back havent we?

Unless of course its the big one

If it is it will cause the biggest meltdown in RL history

Source?

It reminds me a bit of the old days at the shareholders meetings if we had got a bad Balance Sheet uncle Mo would come on stage and go thru proceedings and then tell us that there would be some exiting news in the any other business section well were we bothered about the balance sheet was we eck as like!!!!!!

I heard the massive announcement is related to a further improvement in the body fat content of Johnny Walker.

Ive heard that the club have bowed to pressure from some on here and are releasing the body fat index of every player

MEGATON

Just milk on his weetabix.

Heard that we were gunna build a big bronze statue of Andy Farrell ....... but saints beat us too it

I heard a rumour a few weeks ago that it was the announcement of a top Aussie full back but still think its B.S (no pun intended)

Maybe its the new shirt sponsor?

Billy Slater, Anthony Minichello, Darren Lockyer or Rhys Wesser?

id take widdop

Loan for a year

After close inspection of the 'do i look like phil bailey' thread they are taking Phil and Guitar Warrior on Jeremy Kyle for DNA tests to see if they are long lost identical twins

Are we announcing who holds the record for most tackles in a SL game?

i hope you know something i dont

Gareth Widdop? Yippee.

Why don't we stick with Sam Tomkins - the bloke who's been setting the league alight in that position despite only having a few games experience there?

Agreed. If we talk to friends in Aus, Widdop hasn't really done that much or caught too many headlines.

I'm a bit worried by how excited he's making some of us.

I mean, do we still think he'll be a shoe-in for the England full-back shirt now that Sam has made that position his own?

If it is an overseas signing, Id expect Roberts to be on his way, perhaps to that Aussie club in exchange?

Given the fact that Danny McGuire, Leon Pryce and Kyle Eastmond are going to be missing I see little choice but to play Sam at stand off and Gareth Widdop at fullback.

Had the three above been fit then it could have been a completely different story.

Sams just as good at 6 though. If it comes to a choice between having Sam at FB and having one of the old guard at 6 for England (Pryce, Mcguire etc) then i'd rather have Sam at 6 and Widdop at FB.

The lad obviously has some talent so why not give him a chance to shine. Nothing to lose have we.

I agree re Injuries. Cant see how it will be anything but:

1 Widdop
6 Sam
7 Myler/Burrow

Don't ask me why but I have a sneaky suspicion that McBanana will play Sinfield at 6 and Sam at 7. Burrow and Myler have both been cack this year and Sinfield did a pretty good job kicking Leeds around the park this year when Burrow was injured. Plus Sam has played more games at scrum half for England than he has at stand-off, not that it makes a whole lot of difference these days
