We need to fill the key positions next year 1,6,7,9. All new blood. Chase would be great for us. Need a roby for hooker and captain

Your previous posts saying we've got contracts agreed with 10 players, 4 of whom are world class. Koukash meant we'll be bringing in 10-15 new players to improve the squad, he didn't meant we've got 10-15 specific players who have agreed contracts and are all ready to sign. They'll undoubtedly have identified some targets and spoken to others (some of whom will probably be all but signed) but I think you are jumping the gun saying our recruitment is so far advanced it is practically sorted.

I was just quoting a fan who spoke to Ed Farish an that's what he said. Like I said before Koukash wouldn't announce anything If deals hadnt been formally agreed.

well said......

Tony Smith didnt want a new squad when he came to Wires, the first thing he did was drop Lee Briers and explain to him and the team Lee Briers wasnt the be all and end all of the club .....he then took Lee Briers' game up a notch and Lee Briers is now a lance todd trophy winner.



An awful lot of Paul Cullens signings that were famously involved in the alleged drink culture, players that lacked discipline, and couldnt defend, are now multiple challenge cup winners league leaders and Grand finalists.



Paul Cullen and Simon Morans Biggest Money signing of the lot.... Martin Gleeson, didnt last five minutes under Smith........Interesting times....



what do you trust to deliver you success..... Brian Noble or the doctors money..........

Correct Sir

they're not saying they've signed , just been identified.



Marwan & Brian may have identified 4 world class Players , but maybe Cronulla, Parramatta , St George , St Helens and even Bless 'em Hull may have also identified them too.

Until they're signed & sealed hopefully we should hear nothing. No more Simms-like idle speculation in the press please.

It was me that had the conversation with Ed, I merely asked 10-15 players?? (as the doc had just made the announcement), yep he confirmed with 4 of them being big names. I pressed about Dobson and he said he was high on the clubs radar. For now chaps all we have is targets - I can see 4-5 new faces this season to bolster our squad but everyone knows the main activity will be close season.
