I dunno, they're just rumours, there's very little fact involved usually.

We saved a few bob being under cap this season, or did we spend that on Clark?

Haven't we got a deal sorted with Bradford for the highly promising John Bateman??.... This one has been rumbling on for ages, though I read on here a while back that we are nailed on to sign him soon....

Hasn't Bateman been playing for Wigan all season ?

Can't have been - We have a deal just waiting to be signed by all involved.

Well, its what I read on here anyway.....

im sure RD is a lovely bloke.. but this contstant 'i told you, i said this, i said that, is proper irritating'

The people really in the know don't go shouting it off at every opportunity.

This thread just gets proper embarrassing in places.

Rubber Duckie is a full on helmet. I'm amused that some people actually think Cooper Cronk is going to be playing for us at any point though. Keep up the good work lads.

a. I didn't say Bateman is coming to wire, ever.

b. I don't constantly keep saying "I told you so" "I said this"...in fact I have never even used that quote let alone the constant using of it on this embarrassing thread. There is however one reference I made about a historical point being the GOB u'turn, that only got its pressing in last weeks trade paper. Making you aware of this was not to score brownie points, but to highlight that the actual timing of this u'turn fell within the week the Cooper Cronk rumour had surfaced and the uproar that followed in the ozzy press. Perhaps its only coincidence?

c. I've never said Cooper Cronk is coming, would you like to find a quote where I said he is? I did say that the right people have been involved with the rumour. A little tiny bit of investigating yourself would fathom that out, there is nothing ultra informed about it!
I was concerning why there was a GOB u'turn?.. and that is what I've been trying to justify, but I don't think you are a full on helmet Dropkick Murphy, not at all could I insult you to a part of the male genitalia. I'm sure you are a very nice person.

The 'full on helmet' is in a no-win situation here. When...oh sorry if Cooper Cronk signs we'll all be deliriously happy and a love-in will ensue. RD may justifiably pop up for an 'i told you so' and be further abused for being a know-it-all. Whatever previous RD has, the formula he has used to draw his conclusion on this affair seems reasonable. Is it that preposterous that he would sign for us? It's not THAT unlikely, not as unlikely as say Mickey Mac becoming the face of L'Oreal......because he certainly isn't worth it

Todd Carney just signed for Catalans.

Bridgey has clearly snagged on the CC rumour on twitter replying to a tweet saying 'you think we could afford him'

Oh how I dream

With the number of players released/retired i think its feasable.

I bet Carney didn't come cheap.

I was looking forward to a Brough and Cronk half back pairing next season too.....

It's ok Wheeler will be as good as Cronk.
