| Quote markrammond="markrammond"I am sorry but I cannot accept that Rob Powell was uninvolved in the selection of either the 2006-2010 squad or the 2011 signings, he has been here six years and was an adviser and indeed the most senior coach after McDermott left before becoming Head Coach.
Olly and Andy Ellis were ok to sign, Olly wanted two years, Andy did not want to go either, they weren't waiting on Wakefield on the off-chance of a licence, that I can assure you - that would be ludicrous.
I'm told by a source connected to one of the players that Rinaldi, Korkidas and Colbon are coming.
I'm told Matt Cook is the second rower - he can't get past last year's two dream team second rowers, whom are contracted at Hull KR so there is no shame in that. The other player is an Australian, not sure who this is but I would take a punt on Chris Armit.
Cheers
Mark
ps I'm not sure where are the promised marquee signings - Gower might be plausible at a push, Witt is also in his prime, but I would be expecting at minimum two current State of Origin players / England internationals to claim that.
pps I have it on good authority that Dorn, Randall, Gale, Bailey, Howell, Pryce and Purdham are on six figure salaries (£100-£125k) and many other players are within £20k of this e.g. Ward, Temata etc. My understanding is that we spend approx £1.35m. That would make sense when you see how thin the squad is, silly contracts taking close to half the cap. We apparently are within £250k of the cap but you can judge for yourself the value derived.'"
Mark , your posts are usually very good but in reply to this one , three months ago i was told that Purdham had bought a house in Cumbria and was leaving at the end of the season .At the same time i was told Gale, Wilkes and Ellis were all looking to leave for clubs up north. How can you say Ellis wanted to stay when he had a decent contract offer on the table for five weeks but refused it . I agree it wasnt wakefield he was waiting for to come in for him but thats who he has ended up with . One last thing i can assure you is that your good authority on the players salaries is so far out you should sack him ...

"I love it when someone claims to have insider sources etc, without naming them, to try and basically over-ride anyone elses opinions. Happening far too much on these forums as of late"

Dave, I have worked in commercial radio all my career and often quoted items of news I had been tipped off about, but I never revealed my sources, except here on Our Club forum when I quote either League Express or League Weekly?
On the West Ham forum it is funny a guy who does come on over again with inside info, but then you find out it was Talk Sport that said it minutes before, but it keeps him off the streets LOL

| I am deeply disappointed that we have both a very old decaying team and a novice manager who clearly has no understanding or experience of how to rebuild the club with decent players at the right price.
Many think we are spending nowhere near the salary cap, but actually the truth is we are spending a lot closer to it than people think, we just get very bad value indeed, many regular players playing only two thirds or less of games and then to an ordinary standard.
My sources include very well known supporter close to David Hughes and the family of a current first team member on the signings, which I can PM to anyone whom is trustable enough not to paste them on the boards.
I will speak to the supporter this weekend and ask if he is ok for me to give his name
As for Wire Quin, he is just a guy whom thinks he is funny, and whom isn't a bad bloke in person, but he's one of these people who can't help a sly dig on every posting to the point of obnoxiousness, he doesn't matter to me, but I wish he had a view. It as if 160 characters is his limit. I have grown tired of his infantile jibes and personal comments but funnily enough he doesn't say them, only type them.

| Time to lock it Mod..........All getting a bit personal. There are few enough Quins fans as it is without arguing amongst ourselves.
We all want the same, a better team and a bit of success.

Christ, that is disappointing reading, Rinaldi is step backwards, Korkidas and Colborn even more so, average players who won't improve our squad. If they were coming in on top of what we currently have they would add depth, but they won't be, they will be replacements. Matt Cook is a journeyman, a great future behind him, again nothing better than we already have. Don't know much about Chris Armit, solid NRL prop from what I can see, but nothing of any note.
