Smoothy for Antoni is a good shout as Smoothy is high profile and with the Hood injury might have pushed us to look at getting him over now. Really can't think what would be Sky news worthy and them giving us air time for much. The thing about Jenna Brookes doesn't make me feel it's ground related. Could be a band for our opening fixture though.

[quote="PopTart":3p6dnsfa]I know what you mean, and I probably thought the same but I'm leaning Spooky's way now. If we'd just signed someone with his CV and skills it would be huge. It's just familiarity has caused us to under value the signing. And I think it's worth clarifying that too. He was not ours for 2026. He could have gone elsewhere. He is effectively a new signing for 2026.[/quote:3p6dnsfa] You know what - with more thought they can put what they want! Just keep these days coming when at last us long suffering fans have something to look forwards to!

It would have been huge news for us if he had signed elsewhere!

I think it IS huge news and that it says more about us fans' that we don't necessarily see it that way. We've been spoiled in the Ellis era. We've been getting more and we expect more. Long may it continue.

[quote="Spookisback":zsk58tjq]I take a [i:zsk58tjq]bit [/i:zsk58tjq]of an issue with this view... we are being told (by those in the know) that we should be creating personalities in our sport... here we are announcing a contract extension for the world record holder for points in a rugby league season... what's the alternative? we are really excited but we are worried that we might be accused of being too excited by someone, and told we are being silly and exaggerating?? (besides, he only got the record against taxi drivers and kebab shop owners??) I'm happy with HUGE... also fits modern language patterns... And it got space on a national sports news channel live!![/quote:zsk58tjq] They do not let you take goal kicks in front of post were every you score in the Championship if you score against a team that as taxi drivers and kebab shop owners in the team . The pundits on commentary for Sky ,when Max made the the try saving tackle on the line early in the second half said ,that is the difference between a good full back and a Great full back ,can score trys but can pull of tackles like that .Like it or not Max is getting noticed .He as got to be one of the best G B full backs in the game Question how come that Sailor can get in the team of the week ,playing against a team that was worse than a team from the Championship that had as taxi drivers and kebab owners in Answer because he plays for St . And it would have been all over the papers if Maxed had signed for a so called big club
