is that more or less than the money Simon Moran has invested. In fact was that more or less than what he invested in the Gleeson transfer fee

It maybe a similar amount, Im not sure of the price in which he purchased the issued shares at, nor will we know as its not a plc, and im not saying the profit was distributed as dividends, just that the club has posted a reasonably significant profit for a sports club and he is a majority shareholder and of course retains his initial shareholding. Not that I am questioning your assessment.

Once again, name names Eddie. You claim to know something and now you claim we're wide of the mark. C'mon.

I'll throw a couple in -

Ben Jeffries.
Danny Orr.

I think Burrow signed a long term contract not long ago at Leeds but with a new coach coming in and Gary Hetherington being the only man ever to make money out of running a rugby league club he may be tempted by a big transfer fee. I would certainly be happy with Burrow.

He did. He's contracted until June 2010 I think.

Agreed
You guys are thinking of yourselves way too highly if you think Lockyer would want to come to Wire and not stay with Brissy


Just think on a smaller budget is all im saying guys
As for Longy, if you give us the right money..............

Do Saints still snatch your hands off if you offer them £5.50 and a few roof tiles?

Smaller budget ?

We've got more to spend on our half back slot than you've got on ground improvements for the next decade ace.

I know, the thought of an Australian test legend signing for us is just stupid...oh wait?

I say you go for the cheap option and get Aaron Hemeroids from Leigh. Top little player, I'd like to see how he goes at Super League.

If I was a Warrington fan, I wouldn't have him, but it'd be interesting to see how he'd do from a neutral stand point.

I've not really though about who you should sign, but I think Berrigan would be a waste of money, regardless of how good he is. You're covered for the number 9 slot and I don't think the majority of the 'Johns money' should be spent on a centre.
