It certainly is the silly season.

Even though it's more or less common knowledge that the club is currently fighting to hang onto its prize assets (and the 'increment' factor has given them a bit of power in their corner), there are still some terrace mules who are going ballistic because we haven't unveiled Billly Slater and Cameron Smith as our next recruits.

When it's finally announced that Joel has gone, I confidently expect the retrun of 'Red Hot Jalapeno' with a cry of: "See - you blind fools - I told you all along that IL was crap! The Grand Final, the Challenge Cup, the bank balance, the junior all-stars - pure fluke!"

Interesting points. Now the question remains- with all the space that is created in the CC through the departure of the afformentioned players, just where ARE our replacements?

Tidied.

Go protest if your so upset

In addition to the players we have signed did the remainder of the money not just go on Sam Tomkin's new contract as well as better contracts for our younger players such as Charnley?
