Eorl Crabtree was at Langtree Park last night so he must be signing for Saints

... and Meli.

And can someone tell me why we have signed Turner? I've seen nothing to convince me that he will be a positive addition to the squad.

Probably cheap. That's as good a reason as any.

Tell you who was at Langtree recently, Maurie. Just visiting friends?

I'd imagine he was just visiting, hopefully not though.

I was out with sia last Saturday in town and maurie joined us. I only stayed for 5 mins when maurie Turned up but he looked fit as a fiddle.

Little off topic but Richie Blackmore is having trials at Leigh.

He's doing what? As in playing himself? Or hosting trials for other people? If the former, that's insane he's 43 and is the Business Development Manager at Leigh according to Wikipedia and retired from amateur rugby 7 years ago.

Wow, he was great in Deep Purple, never really saw him as a rugby player though. Would do a great half time gig, I suspect.

Richie Blackmore? Sure you don't mean Ben Blackmore, a young centre from Cas?

Bryn is off to Widnes so I hear, would have been handy to have around for cover up front maybe?

Nah. We already have Clough, who does the job that Bryn did but better. We'd be better off giving chances to people like Forster than bringing in players of Bryn's calibre.

Bryn has lost a bit of size & no bigger than Laffranchi. Probably even less aggressive & definietly not what we need in the front row.
