Looks like Rogues was right with his post about an ex SL player resigning from Union. Wigan have resigned Thornley - probably as a replacement for Carmont.

No chance for Manu. His form do far this season has been poor.
Houghton has been Hull's best player for me.

Interesting comment from a Hull fan about Manu, especially given his team has actually started performing this year. I hope he's not in decline already...

It was Andy Platt what it cost us.

Adrian Shathead had actually signed the RFL registration form for Saints, with the contract to follow. But wi*an nipped in, offered him more, and he signed their contract. Saints (and their lawyers) believed the signing of the RFL registration constituted the de facto acceptance of a contract. And, of course, lost. This was in the day when wi*an would buy a player as much to deny a rival team having them, as it was because the wi*an team needed that player.

I'll hate them till I die.

Yes indeed, but look on the bright side: those years of stealing players and trophies mean that they now have second billing in someone else's stadium to some chav's wedding for their biggest "home" game of the season. It can't help but make me laugh every time I think of it - overall the decade of pain was worth it

Reputation on the line considering you have promised us he was signed sealed and delivered months ago!

I was told by a player by txt this morning it's been put on ice, another player told me weeks ago that McManus, Brown and Manu met one Sunday afternoon and did the deal.

What's going on I don't know, maybe pen wasn't put to paper but was agreed? I just don't know!

Something going on tho or maybe the txt I got today is wrong?

Reputation on the line, that's a little harsh, 99% of the things I've told on here have been true so far.

If I throw a dog a bone, I don't want to know if it tastes good or not.

Like what?

All I see are 10 posts a day about commings and goings yet none ever seem to happen.

You are like the sun newspaper, make up enough "exclusives" and law of averages will say you get one right eventually

Team news, I used to post the team two days before until it got me in trouble, still pm it to certain people.

First with the Laffranchi signing. First to say Moore was going, well before any rumours even started. First to post eastmond had got injured and not playing in tge the CC final. First to post that pryce had got seroius neck injury. First to say josh jones was making his debut etc

That sort of stuff MR happy!

I'm sure most on here can vouch for my info being correct.

I was told at the game yesterday that Brown does not want Manu and that Hull have already lined a player up, so no chance of him resigning for Hull.
