what i thought and he said he was trying to write it without getting people to excited but when you mention two great players like that we are going to get excited.

Calderwood

Looks like I have a date in Leeds City Centre approaching then.

Lauaki and Calderwood?

I take your point, though. Most of our major signings have been unheralded in the press, and players who the press [ihave[/i mentioned usually don't appear.

And certainly high profile players where we are mentioned alongside the likes of Wigan and Warrington.

I don't think so, they mentioned a couple of players to come a few weeks ago.

However we are more than likely to be trying for someone else, we don't usually find out who is signing until the deal is done like with Berrigan, Fitzgibbon and Crocker.

Aye. Although that [imight[/i change now that parachute payments have been targeted by HMRC.

This is true in most cases.

Deals may be almost done and dusted but until the signature is on a contract and officially announce there is always the chance for something to happen late in the day to scupper any deal.

Whilst it is nice to be linked with top class players until they are signed, sealed and delivered it is probably wise to keep a lid on things!

I think that was a smokescreen at the time too though Paul, I do not see how any professional RL player would see a move under Agar/Sharp as career progress.



Difference between Wigan, Warrington and FC is they appear (Wigan/Warrington) to be prepared to try and find ways of making things happen, we [iseem[/i relcutant to break our salary structures.

We have made an offer to one player (I know not who) that does break our salary structure!

We should all, by now, be experienced enough not to get too excited with us being linked too players' through the media (especially the HDM). We've been here before, on several occasions, only to be disappointed. Only when the club announce that either or both these player's are signed will I start to look forward to next season (this one's gone for me already) with any optimism.

id presume thats Orford as we havent offered anything to Kite yet
