If they're hopeful of having the signing completed next week, would it be correct to assume said player is currently on holiday following international duties and returns either weekend or early next week?

Is Elliot Whitehead home sick and sick of that sun in the south of France???

Someone told me John Bateman had been linked with us last week but I highly doubted it. This sounds like Michael Lawrence to me IF Koukash did intend to say 'WING'. If he meant to say 'Wigan' I have to presume its Tony clubb as he was a centre before moving to prop and Wigan have a surplus of Props.



Id be happy with Clubb, not so happy with Lawrence though.

99% certain Lawrance is a back rower and not a winger ... I think you're thinking of Jermaine McGilvery ...

He started off as a winger and moved inside later on didnt he?

maybe Mark Flanagan? Got an obsession Marwan hasn't he all things Wigan. With him saying played at Wing i take that as either he played on the Wing or he played for Wigan. If the later presuming he no longer plays for Wigan it can't be that long of a list.

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/30103997 Could it be Crookes? I know he's played on the wing and possibly centre but can't see him packing down in the scrum.

No, not a big enough signing. This signing would warrant a press conference apparently...

No, you're wrong. Lawrence has played wing on more than one occasion, especially earlier in his career.

Yes, correct.

Surely that rules out Tony Clubb then (no disrespect to him intended).

I wouldn't be so sure. After all, we had a press conference when we appointed Iestyn Harris of all people as our coach

Who said that?

I would say so too. Also after losing Taylor and Dudson' impending departure I cant see them wanting to release anyone else.

The player in question is Jamal Idris apparently.



But he's not English.

That would be scary, he is massive and even on an off day would be unstoppable in the centres.

I think to warrant a press conference, it has to be someone along the lines of Carl Ablett, Jon Wilkin, Liam Farrell, Joe Westerman, Stefan Ratchford…

It can't be him if koukash said he's an English SL player.

I know but just for a moment the thought of him and Sa'u in the centres sent me a little giddy.

Unless he's pulling the wool over our eyes and he's not English.

Yes it could all just be a brilliant case of cunning subterfuge.

Not a chance.



The guy got homesick for Sydney because he still lives with his Mum. No way on earth he'd come over here. Besides, he's not English or already in SL, and would have cost a small fortune.



Someone's pulling your pud.

it could be Westerman as hull are in money troubles at the mo and might have to sell.

Not sure we're you get that from, Pearson has plenty of money, although he won't keep pumping money in, all he has done is ask the fans to buy passes and back the club, hasn't your chairman been doing the same.



We certainly don't need to sell players, we have just sold 5000 passes.
