Peter Hood claimed he knew nothing about it the other day. However, McNamara also denied knowing anything about Newton going.
Got a bit of a history of telling tall tales these two so Wing must be signed and sealed then.

TBH if you go back and read the quote again he says he new nothing about Newton going to Wakefield not that he was going at all.

If Netherton arrives it realy does illustrate how far we have fallen as a club.

I'd be amazed if we signed a current origin or test player, it's simply not our style, then again not many come over here in their prime to anyone. If it's a test level player then we'd be more likely to get a kiwi.

Incidentally once Solomona goes it'll be the first time we've not had a Kiwi in the team since 1986 IIRC.

Now Netherton could be the replacement for Newton, unless Wakey have anyone to offload. Then again Rinaldi fits the bill. He's an average sort of player who's not interested any of the top teams. Sounds perfect

We can't seriously be considering going into 2010 with Julien Rinaldi and Wayne Godwin as our hookers.

That would further compound the misery if Burgess was to leave in 2010 aswell.

No it's Godwin and Netherton. A partnership to strike fear in to all of the Pennine League.

I'm pretty sure it's a wind up. But if it were true it'd be laughable.

I heard that that club had actually signed somebody decent to replace Newton but I've no idea who. Whether my definition of decent is the same as my source I don't know either.

Good scoop this eh?

First with the detail as always.

James Roby is coming to us. You mark my words.
