Not only did i hear but I’ve been busy painting his name on a *car in readiness.


*I’m not sure whose car it was but it was a red Ferrari (I used Farrow and Ball’s Elephant’s Fart so it is unmissable, if anyone is wondering).

What colour is that? Will it look nice on my kitchen walls?

I didn't get such detailed information down to the colour choice of the car and its livery, I doff my cap to you sir and understand how you reached the dizzy heights of captain with such observational skills. Boxing day will be exciting this year.

46 union players heading our way pre season with the hope that we can find a decent centre...





Zak Hardaker anyone?

Dahling I normally charge oodles for design advice.My last interior design job caused havoc, I obviously can’t name names but the gold wallpaper caused quite a stir.
HOWEVER I think I can safely say that only a complete peasant would consider anything other than F+B’s Mushy Pea Soufflé for their kitchen this season.

Sorry that should have read “poodles” not “oodles”!

I’ll just flick my fish supper at the wall in that case. Save myself a fortune.

No from me

Hardaker won’t travel west of the Pennines, no matter what your opinion of him. So case closed on that one.

I think it’s time to try Dean and Hayes alongside Williams at half back, but since the pressure for immediate success will be on us, I suspect it will be Ratchford. I like the idea of Hayes for an organising half, but it depends on whether the fans tolerate any mistakes. He’s not the biggest in defence.

I’m not sure we have a centre ready yet to plug that particular gap in the backline. Maybe a quick look in the NSW cup wouldn’t do any harm, even though I’d prefer home grown talent.

Heard that we are looking in the Championship for a centre to recruit.

The WC is about to begin. Literally dozens of centres, wingers and halves to check out.

So why so I sense our recruitment team will either be watching repeats of Antiques Road Trip or on a road trip in Aus recruiting antiques?

I went to suggest this in my post then edited it out, as I was afraid of the backlash! I’m sure there’s a gem to be unearthed, I just don’t know enough of the championship to comment.

I have seen all the Monday night Premier Sports televised Championship games and found them to be a better watch than the Sky Sports Super League coverage.

There is latent talent in the Championship, with players who weren`t given a proper chance by their initial Super League clubs, or players who are late developers, that missed-out on the Academy system.

I don't have Premier Sports, but I'll be trawling the YouTube highlights. Anyone you can think of that stands out?
