Interesting you say that...............

Peter Smith of YEP says that Rhiinos priority is to make a significant signing of a centre. Are you contradicting this or are we making more than one signing?

Ha. Because they'd all give up their chance to play state of origin

Don't forget aus appearances.

I just followed what the poster before me said and named some random names of rakes.

Had a look at the OOC players and there's basically zero players that I'd go for. Especially at hooker. Payne at North Queensland is retiring - they'll probably throw a load of cash at him

I noticed he announced his retirement from NRL so leaves door open for SL. Can also play halfback. But what message would this send to our 2 young hookers. Also we are not so much under cap, so no new centre or prop, or are some players leaving?

mcshane will be hooker next year

Is that wishful thinking ...? At what cost ? McDermott's ? Where does Hood fit in ? (He was meant to be the better of the two many seemed to think).

All the wishful thinking/speculation on here is barmy....I still believe Keinhorst will be given the the no.4 shirt. Anything else on the jungle drums is all probably started/hinted at/designed to influence season ticket purchases.

Indeed. BUT I really wouldn't get over excited about any [irealistic[/i chances of such.

Any signings are usually trumpeted immediately by the clubs concerned for obvious reasons: it generates fresh excitement and enthusiasm. How many here foresaw Achurch's signing ??

There was no messing around with a covert attempt to suppress the news.

IF there is a new signing I imagine the news would be released at the optimum time to increase monies for tickets etc or to help soften the blow from a playoff exit

So Saturday?

Why ?...and if it is such a much speculated "big name" signing, how would the scoop be so successfully supressed for so long ?

Potentially, although there is probably a few days of being down before the new great hope is announced
