More likely to be the latter. Either that or the deals are confirmed and they are just making sure that work permits etc. are confirmed before anything is announced.

Not certain that those are the two though. In recent seasons we have always signed one or two that took everyone by surprise. Wouldn't be shocked if our next signing is someone that we haven't been linked with at all.

As for Watkins. If he found his pre-injury form then he would be a great signing for anyone, but he would be a huge risk because his wages certainly won't be cheap.

Would love Watkins but don't see it. No cap space is imagine

He didn't mention us specifically but the commentator on the NQ v Manly game just said Joel Thompson is "heading to the Super League, it appears".

Surely the 2 already done are Jones and swift or did he say in addition to those?

Two announced (Jones and Swift) and two more confirmed.

He said 2 announced, 2 confirmed, that reads to me as two more done deals not yet announced

Ok, didn't read the previous post saying that.

Just said joel thompson going to hull fc,next year.Good signing had a great game.

Not certain but id bet Thompson and Sao are the two unconfirmed done deals

I hope so. Paea has been very impressive for a couple of months and it will be interesting if we keep in. Evans is not rated at all by most Parra fans and Paea may offer more at better value.

Green had been playing well and if and a big if may be offered an extension.

Ellis has indicted that he might carry on and despite his age he is still a massive influence and I'd keep him if salary cap allows.

We are overloaded with fringe props and will have to release one or two or farm them out on duel reg.

Interesting times ahead.
