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.

Hmm but according to the poster, he made it clear that there was no truth behind the rumours. Ah well, it keeps us guessing maybe we'll look like this next season .........

Halley
Sheriffe
Shenton
Nero
Tadulala
Wing
Brough
Lynch
L'Estrange
Hall
Burgess
Menzies
Dallas Johnson

Langley
Scruton
Godwin
Kopzcak

Or is that being a bit hopeful

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

By telling a fan that, he'd be opening himself and the club up to losing a potential signing as other clubs would know that player was then available.

He isn't that stupid.

I suppose so. I'm not trying to prove anybody wrong, and I really do hope we have signed Craig Wing, but imo it's unlikely. Wing 6 and Brough 7 would be a quality partnership though.

And on this occasion he might well have been telling the truth, but like I say I doubt he would have said any different if there was some truth. It sounds like Wing is trying to leave Souths so I'd expect we would at least be making an enquiry about his plans. He'd be a massive signing and would be just the type of player we needed to get some positivity back on the terraces.

Agreed.

If we did sign him as 6 then we probably would have to put up with Deacon for another year, but as I keep saying Brough and Wing would be a quality partnership. I do think we need a centre aswell and next season we should see Burgess play in one position. Once we have the extra prop in Hall (plus he can cover SR)

Brough and Wing

In addition to the signings announced, would be a massive step to getting back on track.

Can't see them both coming though.

I'd settle for Jefferies & Brough, which is probably more realistic

If we sign another half we won't retain Jeffries, so imo we'll be looking at signing a 6, not a 7. I hope i'm wrong though.

I've had thoughts about it but I don't think so. The only thing I could see would be if a club like Barrow, Fax etc. asks about his availibility then the club might give him a release. I think that he needs to step down from Sl level tbh.
