I'd be really disappointed if we missed out on Hastings. Other than him and Maloney, there's hardly any available options of the necessary quality.

I spoke to a senior player today and we discussed Furner, Watkins and potential signings.

He's really positive and I hope from what I heard; the future looks bright and the club will stop at nothing to get back to the glory days.

Who was this senior player?

Id hope the release of watkins would enable us to put a very very good financial package together for him. The guy loves Sinfield also so there must be a bl@@dy good chance we can get it done

I obviously can't say as I don't think that would fair.

However when I asked about Maloney or Hastings, I was told I could be onto something there.

Things may not pan out - but this person had nothing but positivity and determination about the club's future. It's hard as we are not entitled to constant success, but hopefully we can do the hard yards.

Did they elaborate on where Watkins has signed?

No. Only that a number of factors went into that news.

Why would it be unfair to quote him? You're seemingly happy to talk about content of this conversation but not say who you spoke to. I find that odd. But fair enough, it's your prerogative to withhold that.

If what you say is true, I am happy all seems to be positive from their point of view and that we seem to be heading in the right direction.

Because I'm.not comfortable giving away his identity.

What he told me i'm happy to pass on the jist of content, but don't think it would be appropriate to name names. It makes no difference.

Just believe

100%correct, like you I speak to a couple of senior players an it's so unfair to give out names etc, but you are correct with your comments! there is a lot more positives coming out of the camp with Furner going. ( all was not 100% with him by the players etc)

Must be a Furner thing not being very professional.

His son Kyle did a couple of training sessions up at my kids junior club, and when asked why Tui wasn’t playing, his did a round gesture towards his stomach. Now, we all know that he isn’t exactly the model professional when it comes to weight, but to say "because he’s fat" and "I go to the gym with his missus, and she’s fit" was a tad out of order in front of the nippers.

Glad they’re out of the club personally.
