No, he said "I don't think that one is happening" not that it wasn't happening. Nothing confirmed either way.

As successful as we have been over last few years we still arnt able to pinch players from other top clubs. We always seem to sign the reserves players e.g swift, tuson, ect which is frustrating.
Heard the Thompson to Leeds rumour other day and seems strange how we never announced it like the other deals so expect Leeds to have got him.
Kane Evans has played last two Parramatta games and seems back in favour and under contract so that might have changed. Really interested to know who the second confirmed signing along with Sao is

I wonder what happened to Tinkerman23.

We all know he gets his info direct from the club so I'd take it as read that thompson isn't coming

Think Huby agreed early release as don’t think he’ll much rugby the rest of this season due to injury. Think Westy staying until end of season and gone to Wakey as offered more and a 2 year deal as opposed to us offering 1 year

Josh Jones? Saints Leeds in for him. In fact was all set for saints by all accounts but came here

I didn't mean competing for signatures, I meant for example.been able to sign a top.player from Saints like Percival or makinson ect

In all fairness who is?

That's a fair point, when do big clubs sign top players from each other.

Only really happens when clubs want rid or the player has done something wrong, Watts and Hardraker being two that come to mind.

Clubs like Hull, Leeds, Wigan and Saints, will recruit from the NRL or clubs that can't match the potential achievements of the clubs mentioned above such as Huddersfield and Salford.

Dreamt last night we’d re-signed Liam Watts !!
He was rolled out as our latest signing before kick off against his own team Cas !!!

He and Radders had made up and he was back B&W.
I woke up gutted.

What I wouldn’t give if that could have been true. I miss that kid so much.

I remember we were once linked with Paul Sculthorpe, from Saints,

Our coach at the time Mcrae, said something along these lines.

“I would never do that to Eamon”

Apparently Mahe has been released by Wests. He's out for the rest of the season due to injury & since he doesn't have a contract for next season they've let him go now. Apparently.

Hope he doesn't go to another SL club.

I don't see a spot for him at Hull next season u fortunately.

he'll be very unlikely to get a gig in the NRL next season. his best hope was wests resign him. can see someone like Cas being interested

Agreed, it's bad enough seeing him in a Wests shirt. Didn't he go back home because his partner wasn't settled over here though?

Unless he comes to play centre and move Griffin to the pack

Fonua on one side of the pitch and Faraimo on the other would give teams something to fear.

Where does Connor and Carlos go though !

Shaul
Fonua
Carlos
Connor
Faraimo
Kelly
Sneyd

What a back line that would be. Griffin into the back row. Naulago and Swift as cover for the wings. Fonua and Griffin could be shifted around if need be when a centre gets injured.
Would be harsh on Ratu to miss out though. But I suppose at the moment we don't even know if he will be with us next year or not.

And how many tries do you think we’d concede with them as our wingers . It’s forwards we need !

Squad game, how many times this season have we put out our strongest 1-7?

So you’d be willing to sign another back we don’t need , then put a back into the forwards we’re we are lacking and need good replacements for the forwards that will be leaving . Backs are fine now , it’s quality forwards we need . No thanks . It’s a salary cap sport , don’t need most the cap spent in the backs , especially with the age of our forwards .

He'll end up at Rovers

Why is he unlikely to get a contract with another nrl club?

not in a foot race
