Re: Rumours thread. : Wed Jun 13, 2012 7:13 pm  

The players of interest are back rowers, Whitehead, Donaldson & Bateman. A position with Manu
in the bag we are more than good enough in that position. Cant think of any other Bulls player I would want to sign. Burgess more than likely off to Oz to link up with his brothers, probably take a gamble on him but no others.
Crookes has shown alot of promise but hard to judge of half a dozen games.

Just shows they are a club showing ambition with them willing to splash the cash while being head and shoulders above everyone.

Think its needs must mate. No-one over here off contract or top club willing to let go. Chase being at Cas with all respect is always "gettable" but the probable 300K plus to take him is a lot of money. That said the money they'd have to pay someone like Soward even if he was willing to leave the NRL.....

Really??? Tickle???? Another 2nd rower on a huge wedge. Still contracted to next year at Hull.

I could see it happening if TP goes next year as there would be no transfer fee. But this year???

Sia, Manu, Tickle, Wilkin, Flanaghan, TP. Can't play 6 2nd rowers, that's why dixon has gone. But maybe one for the rumours thread.

Isn't Bateman supposedly Wire bound for a six figure sum?

Danny tickle has been offered a massive massive dea l by a super league club (not saints) and we are talking silly silly money!

In chase yes, but their recruitment for the last year or so has been far from ambitious, with the likes of Gelling, Flower, Dudson and now Smith. I would say that the quality of their squad is being dangerously watered down, and without a top player or three coming in, they could end up with a fairly rapid fall from grace.

They are clearly pinning a lot of hope on Ellis!

We ain't signing tickle but I think TP will prop next year with Manu and sia in second row with wilkin at loose so I wouldn't be shocked if we did bring a backrow in as we are losing two and only replaced one.
