Ah that might by why. I didn't think I remembered seeing him play for the French. Ta.

As a club we usually save new signings until the end of the playing season (mid August this yar then) choosing instead to announce resignings. Generally when they come out mid-season it's because the other club involved announces it.

no we usually don't announce signings from other superleague clubs until seasons over. Overseas signings are usually announced as soon as they are made, for example hall,menzies,morrison were all announced during season. which is worrying as it does tend lend weight to rumours linking us to a half from another SL side rather than an import. which would mean one of thorman,brough or myler. cant see us being able to afford myler, brough brings off field problems which leaves the distinctly poor option of thorman.

I wouldn't care about Brough's off-field issues, he's still a quality player and one of the best in the league on his day. But anyway, it's still early days.

Same here. Plenty of players have off field issues and plenty have big ego's. Plenty of them are great players aswell.

As for Brough would be a great siging, miles better than the halves we currently have even if he does have a few problems. An article on league HQ seems to suggest that we may still be in with a chance of signing wing as souths are in a flap about him going to the roosters, and would rather let him go overseas. http://www.leaguehq.com.au/news/lhqnews ... 18539.html

Just a quick note. If we are going to get any signing or re-signing info ahead of the Wigan game it will proably be tomorrow as it's not often we get the big news on a weekend.

Whilst I'd be surprised if we did land Wing, why would Hood say anything different? He is hardly going to reveal to a fan who we're trying to sign before it is signed and sealed/officially announced.

Usually he'd say something more like "Wing is just one of a number of players we are looking at"

No he wouldn't.

He might say 'we're always interested in quality players' but I doubt he would reveal who we're trying to sign.
