Quote: Doc Brown "You say it's smart by the club but Carney aside any other player we have been linked with appears to have been a rumour that's popped up on the internet and they aren't going to address every rumour that appears. Same as any other season. The club's stance for a few months now has been that our recruitment is done. AP and LR said as such last week on Humberside but added that Carney's availability made them have a rethink. But it was the player, not the squad space with Westerman being sold, that caused the rethink. Motu said something to back up this stance last week in the HDM by saying that "Unless it is someone who is going to make us extremely better than what we already are we will run with what we have got, but we do have funds to make a move." So personally, I'm not sure they need to give a "we go with what we've got" article as they have been saying for awhile now that recruitment is done so is there any need to say it again? BJB, Chase and whoever else we are linked with all seems to be coming from us fans. And as said above, the club isn't likely to address these rumours because they rarely do.'"

Crikey. Wonder who leaked it then?

Josh Jones to Salford - decent signing. Ken Sio "linked" with Souths.

Wakefield Craig Hall to Bradford Bulls (rumour)

Reece Dean gets a mention here in the Aussie press:

Poms Eye Australia

Expect to see more of the UK's best young talent shift to Australia next year. Hull KR prop James Green, all 115 kilograms and 200 centimetres of him, is keen to test himself in the NRL. The big bopper had five Australian clubs chasing him for this season but couldn't get a release from his Super League side. Another name to remember is Hull FC's Reece Dean, a young halfback considered one of the English competition's best prospects.
