Well Walkers re-signed with Widnes so that's a no go.

I think you will find they have signed Brad Walker so Danny should still be ours.

Never really understand why new signings take so long to announce.

Leeds have just signed one in Konrad Hurrell.

Impressive signing for them and will go well over here. We should have been all over that IMO.

well i would say the obvious answer is, he hasn't actually signed yet, despite what every tom duckie and harry on here say.

There will also be a case of managing the flow of information to the media I expect, Guardian will be full of news and interviews from the Grand Final this week, no point announcing a signing to go along side it. Send it out in a quieter news week and maximise PR exposure and references in local and whatever limited national press the spot gets these days.

Or like you say, he could just not have signed officially on the dotted yet.

Once legal contracts are involved it can take an age. Neither party is free to announce anything until both have signed. The issue is that fans hear unconfirmed rumours way in advance of this final stage and asssume a deal has been done. The time from actual signing to announcement is rarely more than seven days.
