Who's the MEN scribe now? Years ago it was Neil Barker is he still with the paper or free lance?
Matt Shaw and a few others are the writers Ted for the MEN is pretty accurate nowadays for RL

Not sure whether he’s retired or not Ted.

Just wish the club had announced it rather than another source why is everything so secret the club could have got a slap on the back from the fans and got a few brownie points

Spot on Derrick. Other clubs would be falling over themselves to announce those deals.

How do we know the contracts are signed?

Maybe that’s why it hasn’t been announced.

Pretty average imo.

If there is promotion and relegation next year, I think we should be worried.
Wigan fans, we need to sign NRL props even their second teir players are better than ours.

Also wigan fans... no not them ones they suck.
Bloody unbelievable isn,t it ? Impossible to please some on this site<

We are adding some much needed size to our Front Row, they are coming at the right time age wise.

No disrespect to Tony Clubb but he is 34 and has been through a lot physically; they must be a step in the

right direction. Joe Bullock looks like he will be leaving at the end of the season also. They are used to the

NRL so are used to higher standard opposition. If they have signed 3 year contracts they must be determined

to make a success of it. Hopefully they will fit the bill.

No point. We are out of the cup and this season is already a farce with teams being awarded 24-0 victories Despite next weeks relaxation of restrictions, or rather more likely probably because of it, I think we will see a lot more disruption this season. May as well start afresh with an off season behind them here with hopefully a new coach. With Lam as coach they would probably go home at the end of this season and not come back :lol:
