Looking at Cas's signings i think they are just spending Rangi's salary on as many players as they can. Not really improving there first choice team, but certainly improving the squad. There are a couple i would have been interested in to add depth to our squad.

Love him or hate him Chase is gonna take some replacing mind.

Who says we have to reduce our wage bill?

And if we did, we wouldn't be offloading Smith to ease the problem.

I think (unless someone can provide a link) that it's yet another myth that's been peddled but the longer it rolls the bigger the snowball gets.

The Elston interview he said we will be spending same amount as last year on salaries. With regards to Cas signing all players without a good half back like chase will not make much difference as even we have noticed with one half missing this season we have looked in affective at times.

Gibson will be good back up for their threequarters, can't imagine he'd be a starting centre

Webster and Shenton are our starting centres. Gilmour and Gibson will cover.

Just out of interest how many games has Webster started? He struggled with injuries at KR I believe

Common knowledge might be wrong but you have not seen Wakie board put a statement saying other wise.

The recent statement suggests WTW might try to be more active in promoting junior players hence the shortage of new signings. A good thing IMO.

Why would they if there is no basis for it?
If they were to try and debunk all the crazy rumours on here they'd need a full time news crew to keep it up to date.


...........but if that's the way we are looking at things, they haven't said we are not getting Cooper Cronk to support Smith in the halves.

JE said there is no cuts to the budget/salary.

Lee Smith and Dean Collis will be our starting centres. Cover will be provided by volunteers from the crowd.
