Potter, is biggest signing ! Come , the bottom line is we just need a side to get us 10 th or higher , that would be a success , to think we are going to sign big ala man city is way off , but I know what you mean , we want that 2003 dream team , n it's not gonna happen , yet , look to the positives , at least we are going forward ,

Patrick An Van !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! signed a 1 year contract did he not from the NZ Warriors today.

Yeah but not played a fisrt grade game this year ! Must have been reccomended tho ! Potential , is the word I think ,,,,,, googles him as soon as I heard , he is a unit tho

He was announced yesterday - we want a new signing every day, dammit!



No, the only reason some people expected something to be announced today is because the 1st september is officially the first day clubs are allowed to approach players under contract/registered with other clubs (that had previously not been given permission to speak to other clubs).

According to Connor....

Elima I reckon.

I would expect so too.

The only other strong rumour still going is Ewan Dowes and I don't think Hull haven't publically announced he's leaving yet (which seems to be the norm for any signing these days, the club they're departing announce it a day or two before the club they're joining). Since Elima has already been announced by Catalans as leaving, I'd expect he's tomorrow's signing.

Could be the announcement of one or a few of the young lads re-signing though.

Elima wouldn't be a surprise though based on what we've heard so far.

STILL NO NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS.

And it's the second! What are the club playing at!

I reckon there's a biggie out there waiting to be announced. Definately the feeling I've got from the fans forum and the impression from the odd comment in the press. Something is afoot (and not just the thing at the end of aleg).

I'm going to be so disappointed aren't I.

We all know that clubs cannot talk with players contracted with other clubs until 1 September, right?

We all know that contract discussions usually take some time, right?

So if a player contracted to another SL club was announced as signing on 1 September, would that not tend to suggest that unauthorised negotiations had been taking place beforehand?

Since we know our club acts honourably, would we therefore[i really[/i expect any announcements regarding contracted players (take the rumoured Elima purely by way of hypothetical example) to be made so soon after the deadline?

Therefore, are we really surprised that no such signing announcements have been made yet?

No.

But I get excited.
