so thats paul, bibey, hill and nash all contracted for next year that is fantastic news!!

Fantastic news, although there is a part of me that's wondering exactly why he's signed as that lad deserves a crack at Super League sooner rather than later.

Think he loves our fans Matt.

Apart from ugly sods such as yourself

it is nothing to do with ANY player signing, even Greg Inglis !!!
it's how you see the word IMPORTANT. WE all think of it in different ways, quite obvious on this topic alone. When it was announced earlier in the week, i was thinking something kinda 'administrative' or even an 'ownership' change.
have i made myself clear ?

GREAT NEWS THOUGH !!!

Think you will find that ir was put on the website on saturday so it was only a day.
Personally i think its great news. Its clear for everyone to see he's super league quality and his teamates think the same.
Hopefull leigh can get into superleague in 2 years and he will re-sign again!

Well at the end of the day anybody read between the lines and drew the wrong conclusions, that's down to them. The club did nothing but say there would be an announcement it felt important to the long term success of the club.

We can quibble all day long about the use of the term important, but the club believe Hilly to be a very important part of the squad.

The same would have been said if the word big had been used, or major etc. Does that mean we shouldn't hype anything "just in case someone gets the wrong idea"?

As regards a them and us situation, who's to say there isn't already one. When Robbie Paul signed there was a full blown press conference. None of the others had that.

This entire thread has reminded me why I haven't been on here much of late. I get into pointless arguments with folk over nothing much. We're arguing over the word important for christ's sake! And I've typed nearly two hundred words about it in this thread alone. Is my life really that sad?

Balls to them AP. Great publicity idea by the club, and it was a very important annoucement we have just signed the best prop outside of SL for another 2 years!! Oh and the other joint best prop already plays for us! Some on here AP cant stop moaning they cant understand we now have one of the best teams in this league! As for silly rumours well I think my price list earlier in this thread indicates the pure nonsense that blows around, can you believe I got 3 PM's about was AJM returning!!! LOL

Don't let them get to you mate.

Nowt's getting to me Ian, I'm just gobsmacked that I've wasted so much time, effort, and wear on my keyboard arguing about the word important
