Leigh just announce signing of mitch brown from Cronulla. According to Gledhill there's another two deals still to be announced which would mean clubs signed players before 5om yesterday but haven't decided to announce them them yet. I wonder if the bulls will announce anyone? Am I right in saying any signing couldn't have played this weekend?

Mick's just said on BCB that we are in talks with a player to try and get a deal done, if the deal is in motion the RFL can extend the deadline slightly.

It's been touted that we could see Ben Evans on his way back to the Bulls.

Why does anyone still pay attention to the crap that comes out of his mouth/fingers? He gets 1 right for every 19 he gets wrong. Largely because he's making it up,.

he said teams would announce signings past 5pm and they have done. I just hope one of the remaining two is a Bradford player preferably a forward

according to gospel of mick players had to be signed by thursday to play this week. anyone signed yesterday wouldn't be eligible.

Pretty certain thats cobblers as i distinctly remember leeds signing someone (lee smith returning from union iirc) after 19 man squads had been announced and him playing against us the same weekend.

Not too certain about this Thursday rule but last season we signed Dane Nielsen before deadline and didn't announce him till following week. Did Ben Evans play today for Warrington? my thinking is we announce next week if can't play this week?

So why not wait to announce?. Cynical part of me says if we make middle eights we announce if we don't we rip contract and pay player off

Ben Evans hasn't played all season for Warrington. Not once.

Re: Transfer deadline 5pm : Sat Jul 23, 2016 10:08 pm  

Ben Evans is keen on a move to Leigh, unfortunately he is on a good contract at Warrington & both clubs cannot agree on fees.
