I've done some following up of the word coming out about signings....
We are already in talks with a 3/4. I don't know who that is.
Waiting on Wigan to exhaust talks with Williams.

Are these players who are being scouted for this year or are they next year's overpaid, under performing scapegoats.
Ye gods we haven't finished winning trophies this year yet.

Next years overpaid scapegoats I believe.

Duckie your inside tips are a bit lacking in specifics, if you were working for MI5 your handlers would burn you and let you get exposed as a tout for generics like this.

Lets have some proper gossip, names, timescales.

If you're finding it hard to get info, use a bit of tactical biff.

I think that the Duck is deliberately adopting the Sean Spicer school of information-spreading: tell 'em what they want to hear but keep it vague.

I can only tell you what I have heard.
I've been pretty much on the mark with gossip so I'm not going to make up a name to satisfy for naught.

I've said sometime ago we are after Williams, my guess is were waiting for Pies to try and keep him in their 2nd marquee. I don't think Leneghan has the clout. I hear he still owes London Broncos £1m in his share if debt when he left to buy Wigan.

Serious money of £400,000 per season I believe has been whispered to Williams from Warrington but I've heard that Aussies have offered even more than that.

Like I said we are talking to a 3/4 now...don't know who, he may no even get signed, just in talks. Plus we are after a Prop, my guess it's for Sims unless he take a hefty wage cut. He has been vocal about his wishes to remain, so it could be that we keep him but I'm sure we will sign another prop regardless.

News break in Australia David Mead has been talking to us.
Outside back utility and fast.
Plays mostly wing but representative at wing and fb. More recently 17 to cover as utility can play centre.

Yet you manage to turn three-quarters of naff all into page after page of meretricious flannel!

Looky here....

The Mead for speed, fantastic he's like a rocket, he gets my vote

But he can barely get a look in at Brisbane, who we beat. Therfore, he can't be that good.

Is he good enough to get in our back line?

He is......

But so is Kevin Penny. .....

I'm ok with being linked with Meade he shouldn't cost the earth and is more likely to be a Chris Hicks type signing for us . ..
