sorry, couldn't help myself.

I hope the rumours re Clark are true as he has the makings of a world class player but wasn't Bateman a nailed on certainty to be signing for Wire according to the pundits.

As a Leeds fan I remember Tom Briscoe being pretty much nailed on to sign for us since around early May of last year, yet it wasn't announced until Hull were knocked out of the playoffs in September.

That there was potential for a Wire vs Cas CC Final then he was never going to be announced before, and realistically you'll probably have to wait until Castleford's playoff run has ended just in case the two teams could meet then.

No he wasn't. A bit of idle speculation that was eventually denied by the club.

I suppose that in true Rubber Duckie style you're going to say you knew there was an announcement coming, but it wasn't the Clark signing. fact is that there's some kind of press release in the early part of most weeks.

Nope.

Just posted that an announcent was due according to a few on Twitter then clarified what the announcement was.
