Surely now we know our fate we should be full steam ahead signing players I don't believe we haven't approached anyone yet either way sl or championship I'd have hoped there's players lined up

It Was rumoured that if we had been promoted then there were signings waiting, but they were dependent on the promotion. The Championship is getting more competitive, Bradford, Featherstone & York are determined now as well as ourselves.

He's not been terrible but Jowitt has come of age and Hampshire is better than Walker IMHO and with Gigot floating about he's surpless.

Your joking, I can't remember the last time we paid for a player, you're barking up the wrong tree there, it's Leeds you need for that.

I very much doubt you can do that, in fact, I'd go as far as to say what planet are you on?

Most players have a get-out clause in their contract should a SL club come calling. Even if they don't it's not a great idea to force a player to stay.

Now I have no idea if Battye wants to join us or stay with you. I do know however that you won't get any cash from us. Walker as a player swap is just press nonsense, we can't make him leave any more than you can make Battye stay.

Well if we did for what ever reason want cash, he won't be signing for you then will he? From what little i know of Eddie he wouldn't play up if we held him to his contract. He might get a better gig than Wakey anyway.

I always understood that Eddie enjoyed the time in Super League but was ready to return, let's just wait until we hear from Eddie himself, not speculation.

It's not up to you is it, that's the point, from what I'm told Battye has a get-out clause. That said I do think he has a loyalty to London, something that makes me like him even more but SL is a draw for any player.

As for a better gig, you could be right, that said we have to be the front runners and from his point of view, he knows he fits. Became a bit of a folk hero at BV, to be honest.

If you had created Battye from your Academy team then you would and should get compensation but you didn't. You signed an under the radar player from Sheffield and struck lucky. Well done but your reward was what he did or does for you, it's a bit rich to expect cash on top.

We deserve compensation for Johnstone should he leave before his contract is up. We don't deserve compensation from the brilliant Tanginoa as we like you struck lucky on a fringe NRL player in this case.

I don't think I'm being unfair, the days of transfer fees are long gone, they are now very rare and much as I rate Battye he certainly doesn't fall into that category. Still, if you think you can get some brass then go for it.

You could well be right, he's hardly busting a gut by the looks of it, that or he's a very canny negotiator, which wouldn't surprise me.

Eddie will do what he Wants to do, he's always been very happy here in London. Only time will tell us!

In tonight’s fans forum at Trinity our CEO said no news on Battye. So in his language that means there is an offer on the table and he’s optimistic, doesn’t mean it’s a done deal.
