Also a bit of light relief in comparison to the days of pitchforks and torches when it was rumoured that Gidley was staying for another year and Agar was our head coach because Fitzpatrick was wasting his time in Australia....

... ahh the good old days......

If we now go and sign Charnley, do i get awarded 'in the know' points, even though it was a complete fabrication?

Heard a rumour of Danny Walker at Widnes. He's a Warrington lad, looks a good player.

Is that the lad that had a go at Chris Hill.

It is, he seems to have a proper attitude about him but why Hill got involved ???

We lacked a bit of grunt last year so no problems with any additions who can rub it up without giving away the penalties... part of the game.

Interesting with regards to Morgan Smith as Tony seemed to rate him higher than Dwyer yet we haven’t really seen him excel yet. Dwyer’s good games were very good. I know that Smith is more of a scrum half and his talent in that field is what attracted us to him at Leeds... I wonder if Price will give him a chance to prove himself in that role?

Just been told that we’ve signed a hooker/loose forward from Canberra Raiders. Didn’t get told a name but this guy fits the bill https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Baptiste

Anyway just looked at this guy,had a bad time with the Achilles injury, not very big so reminds me of Dwyer in stature,only hope that if we have signed him he is fully recovered from injury but more important he is actually better than Dwyer otherwise it’s like for like.

He is in the PNG squad for the World Cup so keep an eye out. 5 foot 6 inches tall, diddy.

Morgan Smith isn’t any bigger so as long as he can nail the big boys in the tackle he’ll be fine. I’m not sure it’s where we need to strengthen most though. No word on a new winger? Maybe we’re letting Pomeroy prove himself for a year.
