The last time you got excited was when your Kev got a job

Firstly - I am pleased that Glenn has resigned for Trinity.... He is a top quality player.... and the calibre of the man and his experience at top level is a valuable asset to the club ..... in particular with the youngsters so well done AG/JE





Secondly though -I am concerned by the absence of another signing today - looks like we may be going into the season without an accomplished half back.

Moore, Wildie, Tony and Wood are all capable of playing a role this season ... but I must say one established quality 6 or 7 would really have given us a great chance of being competitive.

Plus the 1873 chap told me it was an overseas half back that we had signed .. ... so i have either been lied to OR we have hit a stumbling block - any ideas?

Patience dear boy

I don't get this - we are only in October. Pre season training has not yet begun. Yet people seem to be panicking that we are signing no more players. Why, we are nowhere the end of the traditional signing period.

Players and agents hold out for better deals if there is multiple club interest with many deals being finalised in december.

I remember Solomona coming in under the radar in december 2003 despite having been offered the original deal 6 month earlier. It's a bit like a chain when house selling, sometimes one club has to get it's player before the player you want can be released etc etc.

Benji Marshall can't announce until after the Four Nations

Patience, still a few irons in the fire. As the club said nothing will be announced until it is set in stone.

More pleased with Morro on a player coaching role than just a player role.

I'm happy with that

Yep, happy

Plenty of expierence, still a class player probably best back row forward we have !

Great news ! So now do we have 2 assistants judging by that link it says morro will be on a assistant basis aswell as coaching the under 20's. I would have give him a 2 year deal personnally.

If it works out then Glenn, AG and JE can sit down and talk about another year. If it doesn't then we can call it a day.




Happy enough with signing but I (like many) had got myself 'a bit excited' and was hoping for a new player.

I guess it was all in the wording.

Happy with this news, gives us great depth in backrow and his experience is invaluble. Now the coaching set up is sorted lets get the rest of the squad sorted.
