| Quote LovesToSpooge="LovesToSpooge"Seeing this is the rumoured signings thread rather than the how much a player was paid thread, I thought I'd share with you what I know. Having received a phone call earlier tonight from Mick Hogan in regards to an e-mail I sent him last week, I took the time to ask him about future signings for the club.
The immediate impression to come over me was the club have as yet to sign anyone for next year, It was also pretty much implied that the club wouldn't sign a replacement for hock, but rather fill that role from within. The club also had the option to sign either O'Meley or Webb but decided against as neither were felt to be right for the club, particularly O'Meley who it was felt by the medical staff that with the extra 6 or 7 games plus heavier pitches would take a big toll on his knees. I also got the impression that Coley would be rewarded with a new deal, and that possibly a new prop may not be brought in, I'll explain why further down.
I also asked about the halfback position, to find that Mick and Lenegan have enquired about the current Aussie number 7 (naming no names) yet found that the sums involved in bringing him here were astronomical and unrealistic for any superleague club. In regards to Myler, the club were approached by his people but the club felt he wasn't the correct partner for Sam for varying reasons.
The final two overriding feelings I got were that the signings this year would be minimal due to the fact that the right calibre of players are just not available at this time, and finally that the club would be far more willing to wait for the right people to come off contract next year, than go ahead this year and make signings that wouldn't be right for the club.
And can I finally say that I found Mick Hogan to be a very knowledgeable, and is working is hardest to get the club to be the leader in every field in superleague, and after speaking to him I have the utmost respect and feel that the club is heading in the right direction, but things will take time.
I've written the above comments and made them public as I hope it will shed some light on things and add some transparency in regards to goings on with the signings.'"
My overriding feeling is that Mick Hogan will never be telling you anything again. |

If we're changing coaches then it makes sense that we've not made any signings for next year.
A new coach will have his own opinion on players and we don't want to use up the salary cap and tie his hands should he want to bring in new faces.

My overriding feeling is that responding in such a way to direct questioning from a fan (appologies Love to Sponge if you have better connections to him) on such a sensitive issue is very unprofessional indeed and asking for trouble. |

Your probably right.
As for thuston he isnt available this year, I would assume it was at the end of 2010 when they wanted him as that's when he's off contract. |

i think that second list was for players listed for 2011, there was a list published earlier for the players available for 2010 i think. May be wrong. |

Which, having seen how Mick Hogan usualy operates, suggests to me that these various comments and observations attributed to him, may not all be strictly accurate. |
