Of those two, I'd take Smith in a heartbeat, good organiser ,good kicking game as well.

shame . we wont get Dobson, Brough, matty smith, briers, burrow or dureu so doesnt leave many others . Tim smith and craig gower are too old to pay a big fee for so hanbury it is but can see widnes needing the money .

Gower turned us down in the close season. We offered him a 2 year deal.

No way would I pay a fee for tim smith and I hope we don't pin the next couple of seasons on him. Decent player on his day but flakey as hell

Agreed, would be very disappointed. Won't happen though.

Since it's derby week and anything could happen. What's the odd's on new signing tomoz just before game on friday

If only

I really like you. Love an ambitious rumour.

Asked a guy at RLW in Australia.

He said "Cool head, smart kicking game, can catch and pass. Not a match-winner but solid "

Moley??

Anyone got any idea if this Gentle interview is on tinterweb at all? Wouldn't mind listening to it if possible to gauge what was said. Ta

Probably not him then mate. Was told the club see Holdsworth as our leader/kicker, and we want a runner/off the cuff type player to compliment him. Will try and get a name.

Why not do what I do: don't pay a subscription to FC Live and then don't worry about what I might not have heard

Think the interview everybody is talking about was on Humberside

Not Gaskell signed on loan to Salford till end of season

Good bit of business by them. I thought he might of done a job for us on loan with our usual injury curse starting to bite.

Maybe Sneyd is leaving

well if he is i hope he doesn't go any further then junction 32!!!!

I've mentioned Ryan Stig at Newcastle before , I'd say he is in the same position as Dureau was at Newcastle . Behind the likes of Mullen , Gidley and Roberts at the club but is a decent half and has had some great reports from the NSW cup . May have played enough 1st grade games also to qualify for a visa .

With a name like stig he'd be more suitable for caravan park

Ben Roberts? Looks like he'll be on the market with Corey Norman off to the Eels.

listening to gentle yesterday,he seemed to contradict what he was saying a few days ago ,regarding they had someone in their sights.

Yeah I thought that, the "we've got someone in our sights" line does become tiresome after all these years doesn't it!

Looking very unlikely someone will come in this year, superleague clubs aren't willing to let people go. The player we are after is from the NRL, with him arriving next year as things stand.

no chance of any one coming this year is what he was saying basically and again limited options for next year. what i don't understand is we find our self in this situation every year but players like burns dureau green handbury sammut have all come over in the last few years but we keep missing them

You got splinters in your @rse?
