| Quote: Cruncher "To be honest, I doubt that.
They may take a hit if we fail to do anything in the play-offs and if Noble is still in charge next year, but I doubt that masses of fans are waiting to see if we sign a star before they commit. And I'd say it was highly unlikely that anyone at all was waiting on Griffin before they decided (much as I think he'd have done a good job for us).
This is clearly part of a painful re-education we're having to go through about cutting down on signing big names and instead trying to grow our own (which will be essential when the overseas quota finally bites). I'm still hopeful that we'll occasionally pull in a big star, but the emphasis has clearly now shifted away from signing a new bag of players every close season. We fans are just going to have to get used to that.'"
Were going the right way in terms of using homegrown or English players when it comes to our pack. We have got a pretty good set of forwards and next season there might only be 2 overseas players in the pack with Feka and Riddell (assuming Bailey leaves).

| Quote: NickyKiss "Read on the Cas board that Boyle will be going to Salford.
I can't see that he'd be any better then O'Carroll or Mossop anyway.
If we're to sign anybody it must be a prop that got abit of experience about him and will just drive us forward.
IMO it'd be pointless signing abit of a 'project' style signing who you 'hope' will be a good player in 2 or 3 years.........we have enough of them already.'"
Agreed.
We have more than enough good young Props we need a lad in his mid 20's at his youngest with experience and go forward, not another lad making his way in the game.

| Quote: Ewwenorfolk "Matt James'"
A good young player but not what we need, i do not see how we would be able to bring 3 other junior Props through and James, would not be gutted if we singed him, but he does seem to have lost his way a little and would be too old for the u-20's next year so would have to go out on a loan.
Can't see it happening in short.

| You seem to have lost your caps locks key there friend.
I really can't see our team changing next season, annoying as it may be we can't do anything about, I just hope IFL has someone lined up.

| TBH I have no expectation of signings anymore. Mr Chairman has a new approach in terms of developing youngsters and that is fine. We will see what happens.

| bit pointless even having a rumours thread till the end of next season. We know now that any rumour that appears linking us to players will be just a rumour. IL has already stated this that we almost certainly won't be signing anyone.

3 Years past his best, struggling in Premier League with North Sydney Bears and is considering retirement and heading back to NZ to coach in the juniors, so i wouldn't be surprised if Wigan try to sign him.

Even after what he said(which was that we 'probably' won't sign anybody) i'd still be more suprised if we start next season with no new signings at all.
I think we'll bring in 1 or possibly 2.

But will they be Nobles signings or not, that is the big question
