It’s the kind of sultry evening in the Mediterranean, whilst watching our club make signings galore, cricket has been as sexy as hell, two members of a totally corrupt government resign, we just need another tin of emulsion lobbing on that Thatcher statue again. What an evening, superb.

Too much in one go, 90 odd pages and nothing, then bang.

Walkers a good short term signing, nothing to lose, not sure long term as too similar in style to Shaul, but younger and something to prove.

Simm and Longstaff are good options, gives us a look at them and then maybe look to sign long term.

With Walker I think it depends if he is over his injuries. If he has and gets his form back then he is an upgrade on the current Shaul.

Simm sounds as though he could be available but doubts remain as to whether Warrington are prepared to lose Longstaff long term?

Yes, so much for the club being secretive and not putting out any news.

Must still have wonga to splash if true.
Would have cost even more than Reynolds record contract I reckon.

I'm not sure he'd cope well anyway here.

Seems to struggle with pressure and we know what that number 7 jersey has done to players over the years.

Walker's Leeds colleagues appear to be saying their goodbyes on Instagram, without explicitly saying it. I wonder if it's a permanent move in reality.

His chances at Leeds are slim no non I think. With Hardaker and Myler.

It's a chance to impress and prove his fitness. A different style of full back to Connor. Young, hungry witha point to prove. We could do worse.

If true I agree and think we’ve dodged a bullet there.

Similar type of player to McNamara and not worth the extra money.

There’s a reason he’s not quite made it there and it would appear to be his ability to handle the pressure?

Barratt managed him badly at the Bulldogs, his confidence looks shot.

If he was half decent the Roosters would've kept him though. I'd rather us get Hoy to be honest
