Nah, let's go back to rumours of transfers at the start of this season. I'll start, Bevan French to Leigh.

If you're the OP, selecting the "Edit" option will also allow you to alter the title. Otherwise, only the mods can change it.

Go to your very first post and click edit, you should be able to change the title there I think...

any way its moot, Reynolds coming to SL is fantasy land stuff.

This thread should be a sticky mods.

By the way I am massively impressed with that Wigan video. Big tick from me. The inclusive side that is, sort of imagined Mago at Solly, but hey ho.

I've said it before, but whoever's doing the social media and general PR at Wigan is 100% on top of their game.

Morgan Smith and Nathan Massey off to Hull fc.

Smith appears to be a done deal certainly, and I think it's a good addition. Don't think he will start at either 7 or 9 when everyone is fit but he provides good cover and gives us options off the bench.

That's the first I've heard Massey mentioned. I'd be a little bit surprised if it's true because it seems to go against Tony Smith's general recruitment strategy of younger guys who he feels he can mould and develop. I do think he still has something to offer for a year or two though.

Been told Massey is Feath bound, Watts possibly too.

Probably wouldn’t get much game time at Leeds to be fair.

we have Lachy Miller, Richie Myler and Alfie Edgell who will get some game time at 1 next year.

Ive been really impressed with how Hooley came back from that nightmare debut at Hull KR, he’s a decent player

He’s a lower tier SL player at best. I wouldn’t miss him

Catalans getting closer to tempting wade graham out of his short retirement

Tom Deakin, hooker for Roosters set to sign for Huddersfield, his father is English so wouldn't count on quota.

Has he played over here before? If not then he’ll be a quota player.

The timescale would be tricky.

Signing Sam Hallas would take us back two years.

He's not a good enough distributor at hooker and he's not big enough at prop. He spends the half his time looking for a fight and is a penalty machine.

If we get a previous hooker back, it should be Adam O'Brien or (preferably) Reiss Butterworth

Just need a new Chef to marry all the ingrediants together into a tasty dish now, not to sure how he managed to muck up what was in his larder this year.

[OdsalBull]

Have to agree it would be a really disappointing signing
