Anakin and Frankie are spot on regarding ET.
Wish the guy the best of luck in the future where ever that may be.
Great professional RL player.

F.C have just terminated Paul Johnsons contract though

i heard things as well but im hoping its poop not saying anymore... edit, MR.

Okay, the difficulty we have now is with something becoming common (rumoured) knowledge, without being public knowledge. As a suggestion, if people could say they're not saying anything in a way that doesn't hint pretty strongly at what they're not saying, it'd be good. Cheers, MR.

I think it's been done with him and his agent and he got another club first pal

I have absolutely no idea what that could mean in any language. Reading it makes my head hurt.

I apologise m.r I wasnt in no way hinting but I can see how that looks in regard to e.t then no comment. Getting back on topic I haven't been so excited about new season like I am right now im feeling very positive about new season.

No need to apologise afm, I didn't mean it to sound harsh.



Yeah, the tone of the interview was reasonably optimistic and the club hierarchy and the fans seem to be on the same page, broadly speaking.

So it looks as if Tui's off then? Disappointing. We gambled a bit with only 3 experienced front rowers this season & we're losing all of them. Plus Beaumont. 4 props left last season as well, not much continuity going on. Gives us a quota place I suppose?

does"movement" actually mean shipping out of the club? or does it mean re-negotiating for less money?....

Well at a complete guess id say going?

O'Hara & Beaumont aren't massive losses though really are they. We still have IMO one of the best performing props of last season signed with an extended deal in Adam Walker whilst James Green will be involved alot more this season, Throw in Weyman and add that Costigan aint shy at packing down in the front row I'd say we are looking very good.

Beaumont we can cover, O'Hara would've been a loss if he'd actually played. Don't see Costigan playing prop. We're still short of numbers & experience up front imo. Might look different once the new signings are announced.

Props so far.
Weyman, Langley, Walker J, Walker A, Green.
Costigan, Cox, Horne.
Hookers so far.
Carlisle, Hodgeson.

I would say it is more pressing to get some SR's in being honest.

You've missed out Lovegrove.

I thought Langley played more in the 2nd row/loose at the Bulls?

I reckon based on Roopy's comments Costigan will play 13 and switch to 9 at times.

Nevertheless, the pack does look shy on personnel and experienced depth although there are the fringe players to consider; Ollett, Esslemont & Robinson.

Lets hope NH has a couple of forwards signed up and one of them I am hearing is a PNG whose first name is Enoch (cue the Goose).
