While Im raving about my Frenchmen here Vasty, we could always bring back Julien Rinaldi to replace Moore and Elina to beef up the pack

Shudds have announced the signings of Clough and Gaskell but not Ferguson.
Seems a bit odd.
Don't want to put 2+2 together and get 5 but if Simon goes will that allow us move in and pay a nominal fee to Shudds to null Fergusons contract with them?

If Ferguson isn't in The Farts plans for next season I sincerely hope Trinity don't pay any sort of fee for him.

If Hudds want a fee, I hope we tell them where they can stick it. It sounds like they don't want to honour the agreement with Ferguson and we are interested in him.

If he s still on contract at Hudds and they don't want him guess they would be happy to pay half his wages whilst he plays for wakefield , no other super league club in the reckoning

And that's why I didn't want to put 2+2 together.
I suppose it may come down to how badly Shudds want shut, knowing that someone is interested in taking Ferguson from them.
They possibly need to line up a replacement?

Re: Allgood & Ferguson on the way! : Mon Nov 14, 2016 10:49 pm  

We are the only super league club in the running for him.

Does this mean we are the only one who has offered any interest in him?

I used to be a fan of him but he has barely played much SL since 2013 and the league gets harder year on year.

Just not sure on this one as to whether or not he will improve our side if he was to be a regular. Squad player maybe but dont think now he is any better than what we already have

I don't think it does tbh. The fact is he's played the majority of his career in SL suggests to me he knows what it's all about. I think he''s a better player than Molloy and even if he isn't in the starting 17 each week, we need someone who can step in do the same job as the starting player. Ateotd it's all about who'd available and the wages they command. If Ferguson fits the bill, imo he won't let anyone down.

So you're saying you would rather keep A Tupou with an injury on a big salary, rather than to use his wages to bolster the pack? Allgood if he came would be a No.3/4 Prop and adds some size and experience. Fergy would be here to back up Ashurst & Kirmond, along with a few others
It's all speculation at this point and yes I'd love an A Tupou here, even playing at 90% his best but his minutes weren't great and his limping around got worse as the season went on, so it doesn't bode well. If he does decide to retire, we could use his wage to bring in extra reinforcements in the forwards plus with Moores' wages, make a bid for a decent starting Hooker. With no millionaire backer, we've got to get value for money and use our resources the best we can.
