Untill the wind changes direction

if you beleived all we see on here, we'ed have a better team than australia....

I'm curious about McRae's deadline now.



I assumed it meant 'we find out on Friday (from UKBA), if it's a 'no', we'll say we walked away, if it's a yes we'll extend the deadline until we make the announcement'



However, given the earlier certainty that the visa had come through, in certain quarters, perhaps it has and Cas saw this as a chance to re-open negotiations rather than just rubber stamp the terms of the pre-transfer deadline deal. They did make a point of saying that if it didn't go through back then, he remained contracted to 2015. Looks a bit like a game of chicken, in that case.

Seems highly likely to me. Wakefield are playing hard ball as well because they see ££££ written on AP's forehead.



For those complaining about the accuracy of info on this thread the title of it is 'Rumours' which by definition have some truths and some untruths in their content. Once you grasp that it all makes more sense.

Amor is certainly not a run of the mill average prop. Has been very good and makes good yards and leg drives. I hope he stays at wakefield but we shall see.

I'm very happy with AP, PG and SMc and I'm sure they will do a great job for us, however going for Lopini and possibly ending up with Amor is underwhelming. And for the posters saying we can't have a team of Superstars is a load of rubbish, in my eyes all the top teams have a lot more superstars and until we match them we will be behind them. Also we have a lot of good players leaving and AP said said they will be replaced by better, let's hope it comes off or there WILL be a lot of peeved off fans.

Disagree Amor is not average, he is above average imo not great granted, but he makes good meters and runs hard not sure what else you want from a prop tbh.

Maybe they should grow up?



Honestly I'm beginning to suspect that there will be peeved fans regardless of who we sign.

The key though is look at the teams who are above us and then see how many of these " superstars" have come though their youth set up.



we will be competing but we wont have as many "superstars" as other teams until we start to regularly bring in good young players instead of 1 a year.



gentle has started to change this butit won't be solved after just 12 months.

have you only just started to think that?



you know what some are like on here

Your probably right, after all the rumour and speculation I'll be very happy if we get Chase, Holdsworth, Crookes, Mcdonnell, a big tough prop and one of either Whitehead or Bateman. Anyone on top of that I.e. Amor will be a bonus. Anything less will be worrying because except the halves we will be no stronger.. I know we need to wait and see.

with regards to being weaker in other positions if these are the signing before writing them off like aspinwall and mcgoldrick, people should wait until they've played a few games and actually let our coach coach them.



games aren't simply decided by who has the best squad otherwise cullen and then lowes would have won trophies with wire.
