The first line of this almost gave me a heart attack on twitter yesterday, The link I've attached to the website obviously has a much clearer headline than the tweet did... :lol:
I’d already posted this on the Web Warriors forum under the Evening with Tommy & Maguire thread 😊
I just posted it in here because it made me instantly think "surprise signing" until I read further, then Id used a quote so also added the link, thanks Josie
It raised my eyebrows momentarily when I saw it when scrolling through Twitter yesterday.

When I saw it I thought of how we where going to fit them under the cap,don't think moving Brad Singleton on would have made much difference :D

Speaking of which, surely we have to get rid of a few before even entertaining a major signing?

I know we have a marquee spot available but just in terms of actual cash flow for the club, room is needed.

I'm actually convinced you live in your own fantasy land, Med.

And if Bevan's contract is just under the marquee as Dan says, we have one spare.

It seems that the "surprise signing" certainly won't be Luke Thompson according to his quote on Serious About Rugby League today. Claims he's settled at his present club and looking forward to next season. With the Wardle news going quiet I do hope that's not it for next season. I still think we would benefit from another couple of signings.

We need another centre. Can’t keep playing second rowers in the centre

Agreed! Although I’m starting to doubt the Wardle signings credibility, I’ve not seen any articles from the any Rugby League outlets linking us with him. I think it’s highly likely we sign Whare which is the noise coming coming from the Rugby circles

Maybe we are finally going with Halsall, if we continue to make do with 2nd rowers it makes losing Nicholson/McDonnell even odder.
