And the odd player's too.

How much did we actually pay for him?

£250k, hence disclosed fee. Don't want to look like we have had our pants pulled down. Which, for that fee, for a player who is good, but wont play a full season,we clearly have!!

We offered £400k for Williams by all accounts.....

I'd be surprised if we paid that much for Brown. We'll probably see in the accounts released in July 2018 if you can wait that long!

I'm not normally one for spreading unsubstantiated 'facts' but I was told £175k for Brown which I thought was a bit dear.

....and nothing but a nod and a wink for Williams.

What is extremely coincidental, is that when we've raided these middle to struggling clubs for their special one....
That team then ends up being financially sound and off the back if that, have a very good following season...more often bettering ourselves!?

Go on then, I'm not saying you are mistaken but please give an example or three

Hull last year? They won the Challenge Cup, although we won the LLS and got to the Grand Final.

I could be tongue in cheek and say St Helens when we signed Martin Gleeson

Well, Wakey certainly wasn't one of them

Cas after we paid for Clark, yes Hull.

Hull's not a bad shout COYW but I'd say a draw. Sure they had a better season than their previous but was theirs better than ours without getting into the semantics of how does two final spots plus the LLS equate to the CC win.

You can't have Gleeson ha ha

My example of RD's theory not working in recent years would be Salford and we went there twice for Myler and Ratchford and still they didn't improve.
