Here we go again





I'm hoping that we haven't released Connor without having someone already signed up.

You have to question what use was he though if he is out for half a season and doesnt want to be here.

To be fair from the club statement on Connor we've signed someone just waiting to announce it.



The HDM think it's Clifford, which sounds right when you take into account Brooks looks like he's moving to Newcastle.



Just hope we announce it soon.

Releasing Connor would have been dependent on us sourcing a replacement. The club alluded to us having someone signed up in the Connor statement.



Certainly looks like we’ll have a young pacey spine next. Polar opposite of last year.

Cooper Johns I’ve heard this afternoon

Dan Tomlinson mentioned him and Brandon Wakeham in an article on Friday but also said it’s Jake Clifford the club are looking to.

Don't think HDM would've been so obvious if they didn't think it was Clifford.

HDM seemed confident on who it was. Can’t see them running with it unless they knew something:



Wonder if some news will come out this week?



Still got the back room staff to announce as well

Wish they'd bloody hurry up





Ellam seemed confident on English too.



I've been told different, due to cap, but he's usually bang on

Unless they’re waiting until the end of the world cup to announce Cleary?

Be happy with John's or Clifgord, not sure John's would get a visa, has he played enough games.



Surley if its done (which if not is silly to release or at least announce Connor going) then we announce it early this week.

Zane Musgrove has joined SGI from Wests.



Looks like is Klemmer - Newcastle to Wests



Brooks - Wests to Newcastle



Which would free Clifford to us

Cooper Johns is playing for Italy in the World Cup so I don't think a visa would be an issue, what is a issue is the fact he's awful

Played really well at the end of the season for the Storm, worth reading their fans opinion on Twitter too, when it was announced he was leaving, majority were disappointed he was leaving.

did he get the Italy call up because his dad loves pizza?

Been gone a fair while then. When did we announce Smith? 4 weeks ago?

Players performs for a new contract



Well Houghton didn't this year was awful and able to sign his new deal ! Even when signing a better 9 in Dwyer mental



We always say how good our "depth" is but couple of injurys proves we don't



Our youngsters simply aren't good enough to the level or saints Wigan leeds youngsters and that's the issue

Houghtons extension was due to an option in Houghtons favour in his previously agreed contract

https://twitter.com/NBWT__/status/15821 ... iWxgw&s=19 It's a paid for article but looks like we've got our man

I'm hoping the delay is that we announce more than one signing, the English rumour seems to have gone quiet, which is a shame as would have liked to sign him.

Sounds like Newcastle are happy to let Clifford go, its all on him should he fancy coming over.



I really hope the club can drag this over the line. A spine of Hoy, Trueman, Clifford and Dwyer off the bench is one which should really get people excited.



Doesn't sound like we will be getting English sadly, unless something changes pretty quickly.



Rather interesting that Hardaker's next move should be announced pretty soon. Not staying at Leeds, Wakey are the only side i could see him moving to, but can they accommodate/afford him? Couldn't see him moving to west of the Pennines. Unless he moves to a championship side, which is well below his level imo,it only really leaves us. Personally, wouldn't be happy. But him in centre and putting Sutcliffe into 2nd row isn't far from impossible.

Ellam seemed confident on English so hopefully its true.

I just hope it's done and not relying on Newcastle signing Brooks, what happens if that deal doesn't go through.



I still think we should have signed a replacement and announced it the same day as releasing Connor.
