same 1 who told me about long thanks

Personally, I'd firstly like to see us sign a strong fullback, someone along the lines of Hunt or Bowden. I'd keep Tony on as a cover player for our injuries.

I'd also like to see us sign some younger players, ie teenage/early-twenties, who have potential and whom we can coach up.

and orford?

Sean 'Sterling' Long?

I'd like to see us make a move for Karmichael Hunt tbh. Imo Tony isnt a specialist fullback and never will be, we should give him a new contract and use him as a utility player considering he can play so many different positions. We should certainly have money to spend despite the signings of Long and Fitzgibbon and Hunt is a quality 3/4 which is something we certainly lack. He's ooc (I think) and there arent many better fullback's around.

Surely you mean Bowen?

That'd be a great signing, but it's pretty much a 99% certainty that he won't get a visa. However, he is exactly the kind of player that we need.

Cue Coach with his Briscoe drivel

That's who I meant.

I've been talking cricket with my cousin today, so I got the names the wrong way around.

[iWas at wedding on Sat and got talking to a senior member of the FC coaching staff. Just before the wedding service he showed me a text from Richard Agar saying that FC have completed a deal to sign Sean Long for next season. Apparently Saints only offered him a 1 year deal & Hull have offered 2 years on more money. Should be announced early next week. Caused a right buzz at the wedding amongst FC fans.

He reckoned that FC coaches are very disappointed with Thorman & that the hammering at Leeds finally made the board decide to get their hands in their pockets for next seson. He reckons there will be a big clearout for next seson.

FC are also very close to a deal for Andy Lynch of Bradford.

BTW Matt Orford will not be coming as he wants too much money [/i(£165,000 per season)


Well after being shot down in flames by some on this forum, when I told you the news from "a senior member" of the FC coaching staff, I have one thing to say to all the cynics and doubters..................................TOLD YOU SO !!

Oh ye of little faith

now that RLFans has got a rumour right for once, we can safely say we won't get another correct rumour for roughly 3 years...so we may as well end the thread

How many more signings can we realistically hope for ???

A big prop is a must, a centre and a fullback or SO depending on RH ??

Current rumours are pointing at FB and Prop.
