Little off topic but Richie Blackmore is having trials at Leigh.

He's doing what? As in playing himself? Or hosting trials for other people? If the former, that's insane he's 43 and is the Business Development Manager at Leigh according to Wikipedia and retired from amateur rugby 7 years ago.

Wow, he was great in Deep Purple, never really saw him as a rugby player though. Would do a great half time gig, I suspect.

Richie Blackmore? Sure you don't mean Ben Blackmore, a young centre from Cas?

Bryn is off to Widnes so I hear, would have been handy to have around for cover up front maybe?

Nah. We already have Clough, who does the job that Bryn did but better. We'd be better off giving chances to people like Forster than bringing in players of Bryn's calibre.

Bryn has lost a bit of size & no bigger than Laffranchi. Probably even less aggressive & definietly not what we need in the front row.

Seems like we aren't signing Josh Griffin from Castleford. It's likely that he will sign for Leeds Carnegie RU.

Also, in the Clough thread someone has said that Clough has signed a three year deal.

Here's another rumour, posted on redvee: we are signing Stuart Fielden....

Depending on the deal not nessasarily as stupid as it looks. You'd imagine that there would have to be some sort of medical before he signed. A risk but Warrington have shown that youth is not the be all and end all to winning.
