I get the feeling Hughes is waiting to see what IMG are going to do

Corey Norman joins us from France. 32yr old SoO player who can play in the halves or full back......depending who much of the Grench Good life he's had I reckon that's our best bit of business in a while

Club finally confirm the Norman signing but he won't be available until end of June (i.e. 5 months after the season started) due to suspension.

A guy who learned his RL at junior level in the SE, came up through the Broncos academy, and has played 11 times on loan for London this year, helps them beat Toulouse - and is then switched to Toulouse on loan a few days later? Of course there may be much more to this than meets the eye, perhaps it's the full-time training that appeals to Wigan, but it does seem very harsh on the Broncos.

Wigan's announcement suggests the full time environment is a factor. Can't blame them for wanting to maximise his development.

Surely Wigan would have considered that before sending him on loan here in the first place. Do we have a DR with them or just loan the occasional player who might want a night out in London before heading on loan elsewhere?

Loans should always be full season & no call back.

If he’s not going to get a game at Wigan then they’ll want him to develop elsewhere and a loan to a FT side would take his salary off their wage bill as opposed to a DR to a PT time which may not. From his perspective he’ll want to stay FT so that’s probably what’s going on here. More broadly I’m not wedded to year long loans but 2/3 week Dr/loan whatever’s smell of panic and poor recruitment as per last year although the Sam Hall loan worked well. The DR arrangement with Wigan may bear fruit in time. As is,it’s very curious. One minute a player plays for us for a couple of weeks, then for a competitor. Not really sure it’s a sign of a strong league.

Wowzer! You've signed the Rolf Harris of the RL world!

Will the 1895 Cup Final now be played over three legs?

Rob Butler not a bad addition, bit more beef in the middle, have always liked the way he plays. Let's hope he makes an impact.

Good signing but why are we only getting our squad together mid season ? Lost opportunity to build momentum from the get go.
