in sun news paper yesterday shaun Kenny dowall Sydney rooster wants 190.000 a year to join wolves

What's that got to do with a halfback?

You should know by now not to believe anything the Scum says.

Plus anyway, SKD is a winger/centre, not a HB.

Whilst SKD is a centre he would be a top replacement for Bridge who is out of contract at the end of the season

I understood he was off to Saints.

a good acquisition, but not the acquisition we need at the moment

Hi guys this is my first post, i have been visiting the RLFans forum for a few years now and only just joined. I heard we was looking at a NRL halfback, but not a top earner.

Feck! Richard Agar is seemingly having an input if rumours I'm hearing are founded...Tim Smith!
I sincerely hope that is bull.

Tim Smith in a good team would be decent. He can play a bit with the ball. His problem is defending.

As for the SKD rumours, he's been rumoured to be joining Saints for a few months and we are in desperate need of quality in the backs. But not sure SKD is worth it as a marquee signing personally. The rumours are crazy at the moment though, it'll be interesting to see how many turn out to be true.

So far there is Sam Burgess to join t'other Sam at Wigan, SKD to join Saints or Wire and Gareth Widdop and Sam Thaiday to Leeds.

You should be ok once Sam Tomkins appears

I'd love to see Widdop in pnb

Surely TS knows this is the main area to get a replacement? Id love to see Patton in there but for me we need a experienced half with great kicking ability.

I think a two year contract for an experienced HB would be the way to go.

Patton and Widdop then.

And just how long will it take these marquee superstars to settle in & produce the goods. The way some of these antipodean pensioners perform makes me think that some signings will be nothing but very expensive failures.
