Nobody sensible would as even the 'sucessful' clubs like Saints are losing cash. But Thirkhill says he has been watching the game since 1968 so like most of us has got bitten by the bug. And given there seems to be little to no chance of ever buying the Rhinos maybe realises it's a rare chance to own a club

That would be interesting because while he's not the player he was he is a big name and started the last two internationals. It would also be a further sign there is investment as while it seems Wests are willing to fund some of the salary to get rid, he isn't a cheap signing

Just what we need, an England international centre!

No way could we fit Bateman under the cap unless west's are picking up a big chunk of his salary. I'd rather have Byrne. As bad as our 2nd row options are, our props are worse. One injury and we're in to the likes of fash

Please know the Club is valued at £1M not 2m
I’ve said all along this isn’t Adam’s money being spent
It’s the new buyer and the new buyer owns more than 50% !!

I’m just looking forward to the bloody announcement so we can all get clarity.

Thirkill is the guy and the saviour.

It’s his money that’s brought in Richie M and JC and Andy Last and the physio and McDonalds sausage egg McMuffins for the brekkie

West would he paying a massive chuck if salary.

If he signs, I could see Staveley playing prop, that's where I expect him to play most of his career. Cartwright could play there too.

Also think Fash, deserves another chance, as poor as he was last year, previously he has been a decent player.
