Nosey Parker in today’s League Weekly says we have signed Samy Kibula on a 2 year deal from Wigan.

Apparently is younger brother is in our under 16’s already.

I can't remember which thread this was on but general consensus is he's being signed for the reserves and to try to live up to his potential. Never seen him play though so no idea how good he actually is?

Salford have announced the signing of Pauli Pauli for next year. Anyone else getting slightly worried about the lack of news around any new signings? Surely we have something up our sleeves!

He was signed for them a few months ago, so not a surprise. we'll end up buying a steady at best prop. I can't see us pulling a mint prop out of the bag. Might aswell just sign Micky paea as he's do a good steady job. You never know though i think any signings will be announced at the end of the season, which is frustrating but what ya gonna do?

No. The club are very coy about who we sign now...
We are in the market for a prop in from the NRL apparently.

I did wonder if it was part of the month loan deal earlier in the year. Not seen much from the mole recently on the NRL prop though RD. I’ve presumed it’s dead in the water.

There’s got to be someone decent out there willing to test themselves in SL. Even for Hull Satae looks like a tidy pick up...

Can’t we just get the cheque book out for a proven Brit prop like Taylor? Salary doesn’t have to be high but we can afford the transfer fee. We really need one more decent forward, plus a decent centre. I’m afraid I’m not in the Gelling fan camp at the moment, not convinced. Hope he proves me wrong though.

Is Gelling nailed on?

Those close to the Widnes club seem to suggest Gelling is saying so himself.

We need a Goodwin, or maybe tempt Watkins back for a fresh start. Warrington links too so no stranger to this side of the Pennines.
