TBF The times there has been official build up there was new (although ANYONE that signs is technically new player) player. It was Cull that let the surprise out the bag on the radio last Wednesday saying there was 3 announced at 9pm. If PC never said anything you would have just got a nice surprise text at 9pm with no need for speculation. Just join the VS, Its going to be full of nice surprises.
As it happened I was asked to cover new signings session on Weds evening and I didnt know who it was til I got there. On return home I found out of the 9pm announcement and assumed it was the 3 young lads I just photographed. Obviously it wasnt and the news of DA, KH and TC at 9.04pm came as surprise to me. Glad they have sinced announced the 3 young lads, made up for all 3 of them, top players and top lads.
