Inspired by the Hull FC board ... Ive heard we are looking to sign Thurston, Thaiday, Slater an Gallen.

On a serious note, now are season is over it would be nice to have one place to discuss rumored signings and share opinions.

Here are a couple of names that have been circling

Ian Kirke
Reece Lyne ( Already a done deal according to his Twitter)
Russel Packer

Packers said the rumours arent true. Got 2 years to go at the warriors

Keith Mason?

I would think kirke is a possibility.

Haven't really heard anything.

Would stay away from Mason he's really not what's needed IMO.

Heard the following linked with Wakefield over last month or so via the media:-

Scott Wheeldon
Ian Kirke
Mark O'Meley (think may now have re-signed with Hull)
David Solomona
Bryn Hargeaves (Preferred option)
Reece Lynne
Keith Mason
Craig Kopczak
Roy Asotasi (linked to a possible move to a Super League club for last 2 years)
Justin Poore (linked to Castleford surely a better proposition to go to Wakefield?)

From what Agar has said I think we'll be looking for top NRL prop to lead the pack & add to the real strength we already have and maybe Southern/John will be returning to Australia to stay? Its a shame we didn't get Liam Watts he looked very strong against Huddersfield.

Me and my brother just persuaded Eorl Crabtree to come via Twitter.

Only stating some rumours that I've heard via media/forums.

Also on internet it states that veteran prop Brent Kite (31 years) has had his contract termniated by Manley & is looking for another club. He's got the class, size (6 ft 3 & 17 1/2 stone) and power whether he fancies his last 2/3 years in Super league is another matter.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Stuart Fielden. He was touting for a deal from someone on Sky on his return game, and he sounded desperate to play.

I heard a rumour mid season about Crabtree but not heard anything else.

Pretty sure he has 3-4 years to go on his long deal that he signed a bit ago

Bryn has retired, and is taking up a marketing job in the USA.

You'd better hope you are not the club that has signed Kopout, since the RFL are investigating the circumstances of his leaving Bulls.

Did he reject TUPE or accept it and then bail?

Understood to have rejected TUPE immediately it was put it writing, (as is his right), but at issue is which club must have approached him or at least negotiated with him when he was still under contract and being paid, and therefore not a free agent allowed to talk to other clubs as those OOC this year were.

wheeldon has signed for another year at london hasnt't he?

A new one taken from nrlnews twitter. Justin poore. 27 years old and a former nsw state of origin prop forward.

Just saw that one - interesting!

Had a dip in form over recent times but started to show signs of getting back to something like the form that got him a rep jersey. He could be a real good signing.

Tronc-esque?

Scott Murrell (Hull KR) and Ian Kirke (Leeds)

I hope you stay well away from Justin Poore shocking form after a promising start to his career. Gets regularly bullied around the field by the opposition pack. Packer is under contract but who knows, great impact player, very aggressive old fashioned type of Prop, instant fans favorite type of player.

IF Asotasi comes to SL I would think it would be as a direct replacement for Lima given the links between the 2 clubs and the fact Wigan need an experienced Prop even if we do sign Scott Taylor from Hull KR. Significant announcement expected from Wigan today that may well see us needing to replace a member of our pack.

Murrell and Mason are 2 names which will not go away, Murrell I think could provide outstanding utility value and Mason may surprise a few, simply because if his top class work ethic and desire.

Apparently poore had a slow start to his season this season after injuries in 2011 but has been getting back to his old form over the pats 8-10 weeks. Rumours abound thy hock been at it again or moving to saints. Would imagine the former would be more likely but would not surprise me if both are untrue.

Is it just me? All these British based players don't seem to excite and inspire me? This maybe since I think of what we have achieved this year and what our current players have done. When I think of these British players they feel like squad fillers rather than improving our team.

A few months ago there was a lot of talk of bulking up our pack. Now we've seen what the current pack can do and with a good off season they could improve more.

Maybe after such a good finish a marque signing will inspire me? For me I'll be more excited to hear we have retained Sykes and Mathers. Anyone in addition to that is only adding to the squad rather than building my excitement for February.

Is anyone else suffering from end of season cold turkey? The fact of not being able to go and watch our team next weekend leaves me feeling empty

Not me matey, some great junior rugby being played on sat/sun mornings plus a lot of good open age amateur games to watch Saturday afternoons, I still get my fix through the winter

The English signings don't inspire me other than kirke who would be a good solid prop. However I thought this about Raleigh and Sykes and they turned out to be signings who contributed very well this year.

We do need a marquee signing or two to get to be regular playoff contenders. I'd like a centre/fullback and a prop.
