I hope we don't sign Johnstone actually. Why? Becuse we're geting too good at waving Simon Moran's chequebook around and not so good at finding gems of our own.

If I was Trinity I'd feel the same about us as I used to about Wigan in the 80s, and that's not intended as a compliment.

tbf whilst it does seem that we do that, we've had better press in the last ten years, as when clubs have gone through their strife (trinity in 11, bradford(take yer pick)) we've not cherry picked them and in most cases helped them by loaning players.

Moran, it seems, is the only person currently willing to pay transfer fees. Whatever you think about it - he's putting desperately needed funds back into the game and some clubs have been very grateful for it.

Moley reports that Charlie Grubb is flying to these shores, but doesn't know which club is involved?

Wire helped Wakefield out a lot in there time of need, TS also spoke out against the vultures picking our squad to the bare bones at the time, ever since I have had a real soft spot for Warrington as a club. Unfortunately to be successful in most cases you need to be ruthless and I would not blame wire for throwing money at the right players of ours, in recent years our chairman has stuck by his word in declining big money offers for some of our better players and stating that they would not be sold under any circumstance.

On a side note how do you guys put up with Rubber Duckie? He is my new favorite `love to hate` poster, don`t worry RD this is a compliment... In a way

Hardly Wiganesque, the salary cap ensures that you can't sign star players and stick them in the reserves just so they don't play for other clubs!
