I appreciate this is a rumours thread, but Ellis Genge signing for Warrington is absolute nonsense.

I'm not surprised the rugby league press didn't bother to run the story over the past few weeks. Such a pathetic attempt by his Agent to get him a better deal at Bristol.

Rest well Captain. Rest well.

His agent knew to mention Warrington and Karl Fitzpatrick to lend credibility as its exactly the type of PR signing we have a track record of making.

Lets's hope Leon didn't listen to the Nathan Cleary crap too.

Is a fishing competition really that bad of a thing or is this a snobbery issue? Would it be alright if someone attempted to sign someone at a cricket game for instance?

I see what you did there.

I remember when we got dicked at home 6-40 in the elimination playoff by Hull FC in 2005 that it was Ok as we had made a PR signing.

So who was the big signing who you remember from 19 years back.

Whoever it was I'm sure he was furious about it at the time.

That being said, the signing wasn't my point, it was the location, as If that actually makes a difference.

Genuinely I didn’t know “Strictly come Angling” was a thing. As for televised fishing, I thought it was trawlermen plucking crabs from stormy oceans.

Wasn't furious at all. It was quite the event. Very glad that the racism and drug issues did not happen on our watch though. Bullet dodged. Imagine calling a player a "black c you next tuesday" nowadays...

In retrospect I wonder if the club owners now wished they had put more focus and drive into developing a league winning squad and coach rather than a novelty PR signing.

Fingers crossed we are on the right path now.
