Is this you playing Devil’s Advocate or are you being serious?

What have I said wrong or what don’t you agree with?

I notice just_browny couldn’t respond to it so hopefully you do.

I’m sorry but (and this may come as a surprise to you) just as everyone is entitled to an opinion everyone is entitled to disagree.
I am very surprised that a team you consider to be mainly composed of also rans managed to finish 3rd.
If you only want people to agree with you then posting on here is probably not the best idea.
Ps I am no one’s surrogate , I am quite capable of reaching my own conclusions

Where did I say people can’t disagree and have different opinions? Let’s not make things up now.

You questioned my sanity without actually countering what I said and left it at that. I therefore asked you which part of what I said, didn’t you agree with? A genuine question which you still haven’t answered btw. I’d say if you can’t engage in a civilised debate without questioning someone’s sanity then posting on a fan forum probably isn’t for you either.

I think you are being super critical. To say we have more 6/10 players than most clubs does not stack up when we finished 3rd & got to Wembley. The idea that we only have 6 players who are above average also doesn't really make sense ... unless we had a hell of a lot of luck or the best coaches in the world ever. If you look at the Betting Odds for next season your ideas look a bit strange. You've gone over the top with doom & gloom.

I'm very interested to see how Alfie goes. If he has played in the GB/England RU 7's team on the wing he will be quick & skilful. If he's tough enough he ought to be handy.

Physically looks good so yeah will be interesting to see if he gets a game early on, more competion for places than anything else. But Burgess wouldn't sign him if he didn't think he could add something to the team.

So where did I question your sanity?
As far as I could be bothered I countered your argument by pointing out our 3rd place finish.
If you can show me where I questioned your sanity I will happily apologise.

Here’s some insanity for youz.
Up to you if you believe it or not.
It’s a rumour thread anyways.

Word on Fitzgibbon is crocked for our season and probably end of his career.
Hence the olive branch for Livett. Not signed but discussions as possible replacement. Robinson happy for Livett to go to get cap to spend, his contract is worth about 100k p/a.

I don’t know weather Wire could get cap dispensation from Fitzgibbon. If they can, Livett would drop on.
Hearing Sam has told Livett to fix any recreational vices he may or may not have (I’ll leave that there), and get himself into shape for being a back rower.

Vaughan wanted out or Wire, couldn’t get a club. Wire knew all about it and threatened to cancel his contract if he didn’t return for preseason.
Allegedly he’s already signed to the 2nd tier of the Aus league from 2025 2 year deal.

Burgess bro hates it at Hudds and had Vaughan gone awol, he’d have switched to Wire allowing Luke Robinson the cash to spend in other areas.
But seeing as Vaughan has now returned, Wire won’t have to cap to bring Burgess bro in.

Now that’s a rumour…depressing as hell, but definitely a rumour.

Eww I don't like negative rumours of malcontent. Fitzgibbon would be a massive loss.

I'm a bit confused by this. If Vaughan wants out, why would Wire cancelling his contract be considered a 'threat'? Wouldn't it be exactly what he wanted?

Don't believe any of that at all.
Fitz is the same old rumour, and if it was true why bring in Livett when Holroyd has already shown his worth and that he can step straight in to 2nd row, so Livett would be a waste of money.
Vaughan is a weird rumour, he's here seems happy and is getting stuck in to pre-season.
If we wanted Burgess surely we'd have offered him more money, as we'd have to match what Huddersfield are paying him now anyway if he came here. Hudds wouldn't pay part of his wage to come here, just seems like fantasy.
I don't believe

Proper rumours that have to be viewed through the prism of Mystic Duck.

Let’s just wait till Abe tells us.
