Australian time must be what 3/4am at the moment. Probably reason no word from them yet, might be about 11pm/midnight our time until you hear anything from them.

I'm surprised he's gone this season but he's back where he belongs, that's the main thing.

I think they'd have someone available, no matter what the time, don't you? It's kind of a big deal. All I'm saying is, I'll believe it 100% when Souths say it themselves.

Does it really send out that big a message to the NRL? Yes we can afford him but even a British born player chose Nrl over SL. We have zero chance of buying any top Australian players in their prime unless they are troubled

Don't know, if it was the other way around an Aussie was announced over there as joining us but it was 3/4am our time do you think we'd have someone up at that time putting out a statement. Or the more likely it announced a few hours later.

Newsflash from Headingley

Leeds pack next year will include
Lee Mossop, Darryl Clark, Sam Burgess and Joe Westerman.

We can all read it, and you are convincing no one. But if it makes you feel better carry on.

Go on then what particular bit have I wrote that bothers you.

Indeed. A win against the cowboys and it's one for every trophy in the cabinet

If we could afford Burgess as a marquee player then we can afford a star NRL player. GH's offer shows Leeds have the funds and and the ambition which as I say sends a strong message out to players of both codes in both hemispheres.

Always thought you were one of the more well informed respected poster from the goons board, but after reading this post and it's twin post on the wire board I have lost respect for you, Would you like me to get you some more lemons, or are you bitter enough!!!!!!!

None of it bothers me. I find your absurd suggestion that anyone even could have thought there was a direct line between Hetheringtons words and an increase as funny as your seeming inability to understand Hetheringtons words indirectly increasing season ticket sales as part of sensible mix.

Wigan's pack will include Lee Mossop next year......i'd be more worried about that if I was you rather than what Leeds are up to.

Newsflash from DWJJBPark

Wigan's Trophy Cabinet this year will include
Nothing.

Yet some people did think their was a direct line. Maybe next time you should go back several pages and read what went on fully instead of wading in halfway through trying to score points.
