Owen? That's a surprise.



I know a former Wigan fullback who has had a few problems with "attitude" since he left to go to Union, and that wasn't a surprise, although to be fair to him he seems to be getting regular first team rugby now so maybe he has "grown up"



Isn't his contract up at the end of this year?

It would be one of the greatest moves the RFL have ever made if they get him.

I know Huddersfield are on the look out for forwards, as are Saints and ourselves.



He would bring leadership, plenty of experience and a lot of grit and determination to our forward pack. He was outstanding as a young prop, but struggled a bit to fill the boots of Shane Webcke when he moved to the Broncos. He would be an excellent signing for a Super League club - I for one hope we are in for him!

As are HKR

As are Les Catalans (apparently).



I would love Joel Clinton at the club, but I just don't think we can afford him under the salary cap - given he is the highest paid forward at Brisbane Broncos.

We are not signing any more players.

I thought that and then we signed Paul Deacon.



I thought that and then we signed Martin Gleeson.



I thought that and then we signed Cameron Phelps and Tim Smith.



You catching my drift here?

He's been in a bit of poor form though has Joel Clinton for the last couple of years, whether he'd accept a pay because of this I severley doubt it, personally don't think we'll be in for him but you never know.





On a another note.

Catalans are assembling quite a team there, Newton plus Willie and maybe Bird are quite a set of forwards.

There's nothing like treating a schoolboy like a superstar. In the immortal words of Brian Clough, "I've never met a schoolboy superstar".

I think the Mason deal is dependent on Bird remaining in Australia.

Newton ?

My mistake I meant Dallas Johnson.
