Well we can rule out Andrew Ryan, who this morning has announced his retirement at the end of the current season

Just read that Widnes are meant to be after Feka, would for me be a brilliant bit of business for us to off load him and get an work horse rather than 10 minute bit part show pony.
Can we not say they can have a BOGOF with Anderson and then really have a chance of making progress.

Fair play to him for admitting he's not 100% and chucking it in, rather than realising he's shot but still coming over here for a final pay cheque (which we would no doubt have given him?!)

Back to the original poster.

1) Is one of these 4 players from St Helens?

2) Was this thread started on the back of rumours, or fact?

Not having a pop, just curious.

Is one of the four signings from New Zealand Warriors?

yes its 2 props replacing parker and cashmere, a winger (yes another one ) and a utility back row/ loose forward

So did we decide to sign Joel Moon after you posted this then? if I've read it correctly he is a stand off or centre NOT a prop, winger or second row/loose forward.

People should know better than posting 'definite' signings from a 'reliable' source. Even if they were right originally, deals change, go cold, and other players become available. Signings are rarely cut and dry.

I would like confirmation from the Club about Moon though, just to put my mind at ease. Although, if the player says so, it's hopefully done and dusted.

More great journalism from the MEN, stating that we're interested in Shayne McPhearson [sic]...
