Is my mind playing tricks on me, or did we try sign Paul Sironen

We did but he fancied a stint in France instead.

Weren't you in the running for Ali Lauitiiti? Would've had the money if you'd not signed Harris...

Or maybe the order of events was the other way around: Leeds signed Ali then Bulls signed Harris?

Don't recall us being in for Ali.

No neither do I, though I certainly wouldn't have minded Ali in his pomp!

I have always sworn I saw it on sky sports news that we had signed him. Always thought it was a figment of my imagination but seen it mentioned once or twice over the years

Yes I remember us being linked with Ali, just before signing for Leeds.

We were also heavily linked with one of the Andersons, cant remember if it was Louie or Vinny?

Chris Walker also from Gold Coast Titans in about 2008/2009?

I seem to remember Wayne Bartrim being linked when Jimmy retired.

It was Vinnie Anderson IIRC.

Chris Walker too! You've got a good memory.

Bartrim ended up at Cas I think.

Another one dredged up from the memory bank, Jamie Thackeray chose Leeds over us when he left Hull. He was paraded as their signing when we played them at Headingly, and given squad number 29, same number as Fielden for us who just left to join Wigan and Thackeray was going to replace. Got to hand it to Hetherington, he was/is very good at twisting the knife!!

Didn't we also nearly sign Nick Zisti, but signed his brother by mistake who hadn't played since he was 12

will have been on our radar in someone's imagination, so why not!
