| Quote: REDWHITEANDBLUE "Dont think so the club said a signing was to be announced it was only hyped up by some posters on here.
As for the Cedar Court it was the most important meeting i the history of the club, the publicity and follow on from it ensured in part we remained in SL.
Some people want to have their cake and eat it I am afraid.
There is more to come on the signings front but the club is playing it right for a change, nothing announced until its in the bag.'"
Agree, the club just said it would be good news and if you want to hear it first hand go to the shop, can't see how anyone would come to the conclusion that they'd been hoodwinked, unless they'd been paying a little too much attention to normycat, on here.
The club have actually used a bit of PR and marketing lately and I really like what I've seen so far and the direction it's going.
Like you say as it turned out, the Cedar Court meeting was probably the difference between us getting in SL and not getting in.

What else do you think we got from that night.'"

I agree.we are in super league against all odds,new coach,some quality signings and now Glen staying to help the 1st team and most likely the youth in the future.it's a new era,get on board,enjoy the ride and stop wingeing.

| even though I'm pleased to hear Morrison is stopping on a year it wasn't the announcement that I was expecting and also what is happening to Tony Drury is he still got a part to play in the coach of the under 20s

I was told more about the good news from the a Membership officer- an employee of the club i was told a "notable overseas half back" and had a name confirmed.
This obviously now isn;t the case, so I was hoodwinked but not by normy cat or anyone else but by this club employee.. in true fan style I then spread the word to all my mates and a number of the go down to the shop and whilst I am thrilled glen has signed tinge of dissappointment also ......
This isn;t good PR

Is it bad PR or a gullible supporter? I don't mean to be disrespectful, but if the club are trying to create a mystique and interest in the store opening, why would a membership officer then go and tell all beforehand?
As for other people being underwhelmed, nobody from the club ever billed the signing as a major one, I believe the phrase used was 'One that will make many people happy'. We had a couple of vague tweets and the forum rumour mill took 2+2 and turn it into 5.

| By the way that doesn't mean I'm unhappy with this announcement in fact totally the opposite. I've wanted morro to be kept on in a coaching / advisory capacity of some sort as I believe he has a wealth of knowledge and experience that he can pass on to our young back rowers. He showed in the exiles game that he can still cut it as a player at a very high standard and with a lot stronger squad and more experienced players around him next season a weight will be taken off his shoulders as he won't be the only leader on the park. Hopefully we'll get isAc johns paperwork sorted and bring in a prop or two and then we won't be far off at all. Still think there will be some departures as well but as long as were replacing them with better players which in the main we have done so far then we should go ok. Not expecting a top four finish or anything but if were pushing for the eight I'll be happy

This is funny because......?
It just tells me even more that nothing on here should be believed in the slightest. Thanks to idiots like this we have to suffer the boy who cried wolf effect.

| My informant was either wrong, or winding me up - the Morrison deal certainly can't be described as 'massive.'
It's good to have the Morro situation wrapped up though and his retention in a player/coach role is another positive for next season; I'm convinved he doesn't have a full season in him, but as an impact player, he could be devastating.
I'm sure there are more to come though - the half back saga continues!
