I'm not saying he definitely wouldn't have longer in him, just that it's a hell of a risk to pay a transfer fee. If he was out of contract, great, but to pay a premium for him and as a statement of intent it's questionable. In fact you make the point yourself about Bradford not turning down the money because of his age.

Also, Price & Civoniceva are among the exceptions rather than the rule, normally forwards seem to retire around 33/34, and we saw with Cusack what a waste of a place they can be when they carry on too long. The very fact that he carries that Bradford pack could well be a factor that ensures he is one of those who finishes earlier.

Lynch is far superior to Cusack and has alot more in him if his performances for Bradford are to go by. And when I said about a transfer fee I dont mean like half a million or anything ridiculous like that but 100-150k would do the trick. That shouldnt hurt pearson who is used to be paying bigger fees and wages for the footballers.

Peacock is another id take as well as these are the sort of calibre players we need in the team to take us forward. Of course there is young up and coming props out there we can take a gamble on but for me Lynch is a no brainer. Yes I know it would be hard to persuade some of these top quality players to leave there clubs like peacock at rhinos but thats where a top class coach comes in. That would make it more appealing for the player and sends a message we are going to win things. Good thing with lynch is he plays for a rubbish club and looks fed up and im sure he would jump at the chance to play for the mighty black n whites.

Can't see it myself, not a position we need. This was rumoured earlier in the year when we did need a half back though.

Can't see the relevance of the Rovers Director. Why would he know more than anyone else???

Unless this is the start of a trolling session to state that adam pearson and Huggy Bear are best mates and tell each other everything.

at which point did i say it was fudgell

Dont know how true it is, but got told today that we have signed a current England international and a current Australian international for next season. Didn't say who they were, but told me the source. His brother is an ex KR reserve player (but a Hull fan) and knows Webbo form playing at Rovers and Webbo is supposed to have told him. This would make sense of the Bridge rumour.

Peacock is spent. I'd snap Lynch up in a second though. Would be an amazing signing.
