<r>Hehe - true, but our posts were exactly at the same time, you're lucky I dint say jinx.<br/> <br/> Hock will be like an entirely new signing to us, considering how few games he played last year! I bet he'll improve yet again this year, with his supposedly bigger frame and an experienced 2nd rower...

Snap (ish)

Agree gr8 news though!

Has signed a new deal! see offical website.

<r>Patty will prove a seriously good signing, as that was him following an injury we all suspected would have put him out for months!Wow!<br/> He has all the qualities to be a good centre, strong as an ox - see that fend off!, fast and good vision. Him and calders will prove to be the fastest centre...

<t>Smithy is still a good prop, apparently he's 100% effort for newcastle, from hit ups to his defense work.
