From Wiki- Quote Stanley Gene's Age Stanley Gene's age has always been a mystery. According to villagers he was born during a full moon several months after a successful kau kau (sweet potato) crop harvest in Goroka, but just before a plague of taro beetle decimated almost all of the region's taro crop. However, what this equates to in the Gregorian calendar has always been debated among scientists and tribal elders. Scientists from PNG’s National Agricultural Research Institute (NARI) have attempted to trace back the various taro beetle plagues that have hit the Goroka region over the past sixty years to more accurately calculate Gene's age, but the results to date have proven inconclusive or possibly even contradictory to initial village reports [4. Although no record of taro beetle destruction could be found before 1984, scientists and researchers were able to conclude that taro leaf blight caused by the fungus Phytophthora colocasiae struck regions near Goroka in 1958, 1962 and 1970 [5.

I personally would hope our recruitment would go down a different route of British and young with obvious talent

you can have half the widnes team they are rubbish.

So y would we want them

So that's what they mean by Geneology.

chris thorman would be a terrible signing, the hull fans despise him

the worst sl players dont necessarily translate into the best championship ones

Thorman was very good a few year back, clearly suffering from been played in several different positions and a complete lack of confidence, i'd try get him on loan now to see if he'd be worth a punt.

Cos we dont want them.We want your players.

I think I'm right in saying that James Haley was paraded on the pitch as a signing in late 2000 along with Brad Attwood and Wayne Corcoran.

Sorry but "we want "never gets

I have noticed one thing ,before Sundays game this message board and the one at Leigh were full of Leighers" in the know "posting how Penky was a safe bet to sign for them and it was a done deal.Strange how that thread has gone quiet and noone from Leigh has mentioned it since the game on Sunday.

Signed for us.

Well in that case ,how come they are not posting "they were wrong " then?

When it's announced they'll be telling us he's us mega bucks.

No news yet, hopefully they are planning on announcing something tomorrow, be great for the build up to the Barrow game.

Black signs! [url=http://www.blacksigns.comwww,halifaxtoday.co.uk/blacksigns[/url

I check the courier site every morning in thehope something will have been announced, and every day i'm just a little bit disappointed that nowts come up. Need plenty of positive news in the run up to the Barrow and Widnes games, need that feel good factor around the place.

Yob, How cruel, At least a sin bin offence.

Just goes to show though. We need news on the signings and we need it now, lets start getting excited at what is to come next year, as well as what's going on now!!

Lousy Bar Steward...had me going then.

I think I prefered to hear from Yob when he was fighting on here!

Decent effort from Yob that, would have been even better if he would have rick rolled his own fans.


So nearly a great trick Yob

Still no news, but at least no one else is announcing the capture of any of our top players, which I think,after june 1st they could do. Trust in MC/MH they aint let us down yet.
