Genge is 29 the 36 was in reference to Luther Burrell

ah right, i was speed reading cos it kep asking me to register

All because he won't cost on the cap in 2025. A big two fingers up to the likes of Max Wood, Luke Thomas, Lucas Green et al. A white elephant signing that's got the egos in the board room excited.

After all the good work that Sam has done this year to instill a "next man up" culture and proven development path and opportunities and then we get this, straight out of the KFP play book. The club is a joke at times.

If the fans can see through KFP, I'm struggling to understand why Moran and Middleton can't?

Well, maybe I am well out of touch and KFP is the best CEO we can ever hope to employ with hidden talents that we don't see.

Incriminating photos? It’s no hidden secret I dislike the man and I thought with Chambers being Director of Rugby all this nonsense had stopped and it’s been a nice season not hearing is name till now. Maybe he just hated not having any attention.

Regardless of the pros and cons of the potential signing- this kind of nonsense should really not be coming out until the season is over.

Just a few hours after the iNews story is published, Genge signs a new long term contract at Bristol. Sounds a like a very tenuous 2 plus 2 makes 6 kite flying story to me.

Yes, doesn’t look like this was ever on the radar.

Fitzy doesn’t do the recruitment.
Yes previously he has.

From the player welfare and recruitment down, it’s Chambers who has the call.

W71 you have fell for it.
I’d say the RU thing is just 2 plus 2 equals 5.
As soon as I saw the Fitszy connection I stopped reading, as utter bollox.

I definitely fell for it, as it fit our established pattern of high profile/fad signings. In future I will wait for Abe. In the spirit of coming clean I must recognise that despite all his shortcomings KF was instrumental (so he tells us) in signing Ashton from Swinton so got to give him credit for that.

On the basis that this is a who do we want in the play offs thread I'll try and get us back on track. My choice is the winners of Wigan v Salford/Leigh

Haha

That actually makes me think though, going back to the nervous about Saturday thread. Wigan's reward for finishing first is a game against Salford, Leigh, or possibly a sixth placed Saints team who are just pleased to have got that far after the season they've had.

I expect Wigan to win that game with ease regardless of who it ends up being against. I 100% have them down now as being in the final. If we had finished first though, I would be nowhere near as confident and see it as maybe 55/45 in our favour at best.
