It would seem that when Sinfield said he was ready before the Halifax game that he was ready to "push the buttons" as soon as our SL status was secure, he was being a bit disingenuous.

It now seems that "pushing buttons" perhaps is nothing more than dialing numbers on his mobile phone to enquire about players who are out of contract. So perhaps we have not got anyone lined up yet.

After so many years of success without needing to spend on signing up top class players, we really should be in a position to go for a big marquee signing like Cameron Smith (the original) We really need someone of his stature to turn around the despondency on the terraces and lack of leadership on the field.

That article has changed since I read it late last night online. If there are significant signings in the pipeline, let’s hope they come out of the tap soon...

I wonder how ticket renewals are going, that will be the key to when they are announced. If we hear something soon, you can assume that tickets are selling slowly.

13 should go to Ward or Cam Smith & given that ball playing role.

My thoughts too Mark,I'm sick to death of this extra prop playing at 13 just so that we have 3 prop's on the field at the same time.
If anyone knows why we need 3 props on the field at the same time please enlighten me as we could simply spell our 2 on field props more frequently could we not?
IMO this current trend/tactic is stifling our game by having more plodders on the field at the same time?

I hope that we go bold and buck this trend and play Ward (if fit each week) as a ball playing 13 as this is without a doubt his biggest attribute and where we will see him come to the fore (his injury jinx has to come to an end soon hopefully)

Cameron Smith would also be in my back row too and he is a very handy footy player too with ball in hand and also running lines,I can't understand his limited game time during these middle 8's fixtures tbh?

My optimism with having Furner as coach is that Sutton is a key man for Souths who is an out and out footy player who does plenty in their attacking structures

Cuthbertson should be our 13 IMO
