What way are we going, exactly?

Well we havnt been world champions, won superleague or challenge cups in the last 10 or so years so id have to say we are going up as they are coming down, as their team is a pale comparison now full of journey men, with a poor ground, dwindling support (compaired to the good times) dodgy coach and maybe the odd goodie player to carry them thou, until they retire or get injured and i recon they will sink like a stone?

As we have been promoted, got a new stadium development starting with good youthful and hungry english players in our ranks, with promising new season tickets campaign id say we are moving in a forward direction

Am I the only one who thinks that there's a good chance the story is a load of rubbish. He's not long signed a contract extension and I hardly think we're in a position to be buying players out of their contract unless he's having it terminated.

Was he not going on a couple of years ago about how he was treated like crap by the club or did I imagine that?

Him and fitzy are just as bad as each other under high bombs anyway. At least platt has got a bit of pace about him.

I'm with you. This story has been going on for 3 days now and there is still no word from the club. I would hazard a guess that even if they are having talks with him, he hasn't actually signed yet. Papers can't "confirm" anything without an official announcement from the club and I am not aware of one being made yet.

No, you're not. Certainly wouldn't be the 1st time that a rumour appears on RLFans & is subsequently taken as gospel by a lazy journo.

In today's MEN Steve Simms is quoted as saying that we have no plans to sign Michael Platt.
