got a couple of mates in Oz, neither of whom are even into rugby league but have heard mention from several of their aussie mates we have signed four 'High profile' aussies (contracts dependent upon gaining a place in superleague of course), the only name mentioned is Darren Lockyer, but according to the grape vine there are another 3.
Also heard the same story from another two people here in the UK who are independent sources, dont live anywhere near each other, dont share any people in common etc etc.
may i add that both my sources on the UK are usually right about these things.
8 days is too long!!!!!! arrrrrrggggghhhhhhh! i need to know!

Gareth Ellis? I can't see him coming back to SL at his stage in his career, he's in the form of his life. Wages are higher in the NRL due the higher Salary Cap so I can't see SOC's money bringing any big names over who are still at their peak. More likely to be somebody who is coming to the end of their NRL career and fancies a move to SL. That still gives some brilliant players to choose from though such as Lockyer etc who have been mentioned. I am genuinely really curious/excited to see who you will pick up when you get the nod.

You think there's any truth in these mutterings though?

All the interest seems down under in regards to recruitment for SL I wonder if there's any English based personnel who might jump ship to the Vikings?

I'm hoping that widnes are the championships Trojan Horse. You will bring SL down from the inside and then Leigh, Widnes, Fax and Fev will reign supreme as the pinnacle of RL, wearing flat caps and drinking bovril. Up the championship! group-hug.gif

That's standard in any contract at Widnes ain't it?

Don't be trampling over the yoof whilst you clammer for all these overseas players. They helped get you into SL.

All hail the yoof.

Ellis, no chance, too good a set up where he is.
Lockyer. A good buy if you can get him, if only for his name.
Blair. A maybe, but my feeling is that he wouldn't want to come.
