Chris Heighington to Us / Leeds doing the rounds in Aus land.

If we could pull that off would be a cracking signing (he'd prob walk straight into England side as give up on SOO by coming over too). May have to sign his mate Beau Ryan to sort the deal but sure we could accommodate him as well

Tad Rhino was it? hang your head in shame lad!

Webb is not the player he was in his first season at Leeds anyway.

...or his second, or even his third

not wanting to be a dark cloud or anything, but im starting to get a bit worried about our recruitment (or apparent lack thereof) for next season. i realise the rules regarding approaching superleague players are different to the NRL (and thus we have to wait for announcments regarding current superleague players) but thus far, all the decent NRL prospects we have been linked with have subsequently singed new contracts at current clubs or signed for other clubs. at a time when other teams are now announcing the signing of some quality NRL players, we seem to be the ones not doing very much of anything in that regard.
i realise we will not be attracting the superstars in season one, but still. there seems to be little movement on this front, when our opponents for the next three years are making all the moves regarding bringing in NRL talent. If something doesnt happen soon i cant see it happening, its no easy thing moving to the other side of the world, and time is more of a factor every day, very few will make all the arrangements and then actually move in the short time between the end of one season and the beginning of pre season training.
i am not forgetting we have the Youth waiting to be given contracts or the several current players who have already been signed up. but we need that injection of quality, and im starting to worry it wont happen.

Smurf, how can you say you are feeling worried about our lack of signings when the only people to link us with NRL players are fans on this and other messageboards, and specluative journalists in the rugby press? the club itself has not mentioned one single name yet even as a target, so chill out and wait for the official announcements.

its generally the case the clubs dont make any mention of any specific players that would like to sign, its almost always speculation amongst fans and journalists. And this is the rumour thread afterall.
oh believe me, im fully chilled. My point is that other superleague clubs are now and have been for several weeks annnouncing those players they are bringing in from down under, we have yet to make any noise on this front. time is incerasingly a factor, as is the continual reduction in those players available, with transfers to other clubs or new contracts being signed.
if there was something to announce, surely we would be hearing things by now. that we have yet too and many of our rivals have worries me given the factors i just mentioned.

Not true.

Not saying it won't happen, but this is absolutely not a done deal.

www.dailystar.co.uk/rugby/view/1 ... -Cashmere/ Stuart Jones from Cas linked in this piece. Not neccesairily an exciting target however a player I've always felt would be a decent signing for us in SL. He's very experienced at that level, solid in defence, hard worker and can fill in a few positions if need be. The sort of 'filler' signing we will need for next year?
