No it isn't Jimmy Lowes was throwing a frisbee in Bank Park, I saw him as myself and Tony Smith made our way to my house so Smith could check out my ingrowing toe nail.

Maybe Tony likes a challenge. I very much doubt he is talking to SBW, we are ok in the position that he plays, where we need to strengthen I think is in the halfs and pretty quickly to hopefully.

TBH I really don't want to know who he is talking to or not talking to ,What I do care about is our lack of depth in the backs and our slowness in movement on replacing Gleeson with 1 or preferably 2 centres on permanent or even loan deals depending on the quality ,it worries me that we may go the rest of the season playing forwards in the back-line or is it just a case of survive the season sign nobody and build in the off season for next year ,if that is the case I would be looking for a reduction in next seasons, season ticket prices due to the fact that this seasons has been a waste of money and I will not be signing up for my regular D-D scheme until some sort of statement on the way forward is made regarding this and next season and the price for next season is confirmed or maybe I may cherry pick my games for the 1st time in 39yrs of watching the Wire.

You have a habit of telling stories which often turn out to be true, I assume though that you are not willing to name names though on this one?

Why let anyone leave without a replacement in the pipeline !I am sure TS knows what he is doing and I do have faith in him but it really narks me that I have paid for my season ticket and not getting what I paid for which is quality rugby with us pushing to break into the top 2 ,not us struggling to get out of the bottom 2 !

If sport was that predicatable, it wouldn't be so popular. You paid to go and watch 14 first team matches plus reserves and academy. No one guaranteed quality rugby or pushing for the top 2.

I'm sure the club probably gave that some thought to be honest. I'm pretty to certain the board sat down, with Wigans £100k offer on the table, and Moran said,

"Look, it's a good offer, but we have got to balance this with the potential loss of revenue of £180 from Wire74 (Padders). Gatters, would do you think ? Broomhead, what's your vibe. Hoyle,.... Hoyle .. Oh, thank god you were asleep, I thought you were, well, nevermind, what do you think we should do ..?"

I thought it had already been confirmed that it was Sinfield we were signing.

If it hasn't been confirmed it was a rumour that certainly had some weight behind it.
