I can guarantee one thing. All the experts on here who know far more than any of our coaching staff will rubbish the signing.

It's already started on another thread.

Then in six month time they will be on here saying they are happy to eat humble pie.

Some of them must love the taste they virtually live on the stuff

Would be happy with Luke Walsh tbh.

When he first came to Saints he was really good for them in that first year, and then broke his ankle, then didnt quite make the same impact.

At Catalans he is playing in a struggling side, which is probably impacting his form.

Could be a good move for both parties

Agree, a good player but like what's been said earlier going to Salford.

Who's Scott Gale?
The only Scott Gale I know played for Balmain and Hull in the late 80s early 90s and unfortunately is no longer with us.

Sorry meant Luke obviously (edited)

Perhaps the big signing he was making was the tenancy agreement for a new Wakefield District Community Stadium........

That would show we're not standing still, and we'd certainly need a bigger backing to fill it and make it viable

Won't have an overseas spot available once Horo is announced.

Re: New signing, let the speculation begin : Sun Sep 17, 2017 7:38 pm  

Horo has a bit of Bill Ashurst about him. His hair, just needs a bit of Brylcreme (does it still exist?).
A mop that Luke Gale would kill for?

Fair enough there regarding the quota spot, and would presume that was Williams quota spot.

Out of curiosity, Sio is out on loan, as we are the parent club here, does he still count on our quota.

If so, isn't he off contract anyway at the end of the season, and if he is, what is the likeliehood of us extending his stay.

If he is still takes up a spot, but gets released, then wouldnt that free up another spot for another player
