Not sure many others would either mate. But remember, those of the TIW Board were born with the passive ability to seek out and mentally destroy players with unheard of weaknesses.
We could sign the likes of Bowen, Thurston, Slater...the list goes on...and they would still find something wrong with it.

| Quote: J20 "Yea was reading about Adotasi & Saints, is probably likely he'll come over as his injuries will put NRL sides off making a big offer. Again though you'd hope Widnes were interested.
Anasta is one of my favourite RL players (part reason I support the Roosters) but there was talk of NQLD offering top NRL $ for him so would be unlikely!
Also heard Lauititi linked and tbh I kind of expect Long to join unless he retires. Were going to need a 7 and there's a huge shortage in the NRL hence Orford returning and Gower likely too.'"
GODS HELP US ALL! |

| Hope not sign Long as past it and injury prone.We need to sign players in mid to late twentys with a will to win and a mix of youth.Look at Saints this year and Wigan.  |

Congratulations. I'll not bother naming all of our youngsters, it will take me too long, we've got 22 home grown under 21's in our squad.

| I heard that Adam Blair was approached, but turned us down.
I seem to recall at an awards evening last year, Terry O'Connor stated that he didn't want to sign hasbeen Aussies or people that are coming for their payday. I guess only time will tell if he is sticking to that. Obviously there will have been some negotiations down under. It wouldn't surprise me if people were already tapped up.
I've heard a few names spouted about from the NRL and Super League.

32 - 20 ft can't say your unbeaten in the 18's anymore. Well played lads. Wire 15's and 16's won, much bigger sides good day out.

You are also signing; Jamal Idris, Billy Slater, Jarryd Hayne, Cameron Smith and possibly Benji Marshall on a season long loan deal.
