| Now I am not one for tittle-tattle, and usually miss out on scoops by days, but this time I think that I may have one.
After he confirmed that he is leaving the Airlie Birds at the end of the season (play-offs) I understand that we have signed Tom Briscoe on a five year deal from 2014.
I know that GH said back in the summer that we wouldn't be signing him, but I understand that we have secured his signature.
Might be some interesting team selections in the backs at the start of next season!

| So the rumours of BJB going to Warrington could be true?

| BJB on his way to Warrington was the rumour. Fans on their board saying he would be the eventual replacement for Hodgson with Ratchford replacing Lee Briers when he retires. Mixed feelings if it's true - BJB and Briscoe are pretty even really, though a year ago I would have said Briscoe.
A backline of Hardaker, Briscoe, Watkins, Moon, Hall looks pretty good though doesn't it?!

| Just thinking but what if actually Zak was going to Wigan to fill their vacant FB spot and play along side his mate Charnley?
BJB to FB, Briscoe on the wing. Suddenly a sensible signing....

| This signing if true makes me uneasy.
A winger isn't exactly a priority. Our backline is fine as it is. One of the best in the league. So it begs the question, is someone leaving, and if so why are we allowing them to leave? Everyone is under contract.

| He'd be superfluous to the current squad unless someone's leaving, but who? Unless it's BM's new plan for hooker.
Let's face it, ANY player in our backline would be an attractive proposition for another SL club. Hall, Watkins and possibly Moon and Hardaker might interest the NRL or Union as well.

Hampshire seems to be very highly rated and they are signing Bowen too.

I love playing for him. I can't praise him enough, I've so much respect for him and I hope he's here for a very long time." Kevin Sinfield 29/9/12:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_68506.jpg |

I feel exactly the same: only signing I want to hear about is Lunt.

| I think he's a quality player and we should look to sign quality players when they become available. BJB is an obvious weak link in the backline and if he is going then I'm very happy with the exchange.
The fact we need a hooker is irrelevent, this doesn't stop us looking for a hooker and it doesn't stop our juniors coming through to replace halves and forwards who are ageing.

| The only sensible conclusion to this is if we are losing a player.
Hardaker to Wigan and BJB to FB would be the worse case scenario.
There is no other reason we have signed Briscoe other than to replace someone that`s for sure.
We must have a decent hooker signed up as a priority for next year.
