And if he did he’s out of order!
Shouldn’t be talking about Wigan players and really shouldn’t be revealing what Gale wanted

Probability a HB/FB and a couple of forwards would be my guess, but that’s all it is.
However I do think we are forgetting as MC pointed out, we have actually signed five players for the season already.
Bowden, Taufua, Butler we’re all signed for this season but arrived slightly early. None had a pre-season, they all played less than ten games and Butler in particular was never going to be fit for last season,
The above players actually replace almost man for man those who left, whether you think they are better or worse is your choice. Applegarth also stated he expects at least ten games from Eseh this season.
Come the start of the season we will have 30 players and they will be the right ones. No offence but you know squat compared to the coaching team and neither do I. They know what we need, they always do, despite what the touchline coaches think.
Whether they can make them work as a viable unit, only time will tell.'"
Butler signing was announced on 9 May, hardly slightly early. At a guess I would say by then we weren't halfway through the season.
I do agree pretty much, regarding positions though

Agreed, also reading the alleged conversation, regarding the criticism of Kelepi, shouldn't be getting involved in that too. I don't buy that the conversation took place personally

We also left salary to recruit a player through 2022 and unbelievers that was Butler so for me he was a 2022 signing.
The rest fair enough though Taufua was a direct replacement for Tupou who retired through injury.
I don’t think we are too badly off but the 3/4 signings that come in must be of good quality other than perhaps a back up/young half with potential.

So in effect then you are taking the word of some Wigan fan who in all probability is just mischief making, and at the same time bringing into question the integrity of a man who has worked wonders for this club the last 10 years or so, that does surprise me after the usual sensible posts from you.

| Another rumour that sounds like a conspiracy theory. In the picture of the team giving their respects to armistice day, I’m sure I can see Luke Gale laid on the grassy knoll…..

Why? None of what was discussed came to fruition and nobody would bat an eyelid if it was Matthew Shaw that posted it.

Because, if what the Wigan fan said is true then,
the wages Gale was asking for is between him and the club
If Carter is privy to information on other clubs deals he should not be idly revealing it
Talking negatively about current Trinity players isn’t on and (he’s got form for that one0
I’ll wrap all this in a disclaimer, I don’t know if this is true, I’m only saying’ if it were true’

| on a parallel but related point ... where does Proctor play next year?
given that Ashurst was huge last season and the coach suggests Tanginoa's best position is wide forward

Nope, the very fact that you were prepared to believe that rubbish was enough to attract criticism, and in my opinion you must have thought there might be some truth in the rumour, otherwise why say it.

You do know I’m not the OP and was just replying to the rumour that was posted, replying to but not endorsing it
In fact I cast my doubt on it with the very first line of my reply

It was a reference to the JFK assassination conspiracy theory about the Grassy Knoll, apologies if you thought I was being serious, it’s my poor sense of humour.

On a serious note, I do hope the development comes off for Cas and we both end up with Grade A licenses in years to come

| Interesting to see Longstaff has gone to Salford on loan from
Warrington.
Very well thought of by Trinity and I would be surprised if we had not been interested in him.

This smacks of Warrington trying to make room for another signing to be squeezed in.
