Thats my favorite tina turner song.

The recent cover of it by Tyrone Roberts was much better though. You could feel the emotion coming through....

According to a post on the Cas forum its Callum Turner thats coming to you, not Trueman.

Are we signing a goalkicker in any of these rumours?

How about - Lineham to return to Hull, Sneyd to Warrington?

Hey - that was my idea earlier in the thread. I get the credit for that one

We don’t have to sell due to long term contract and why would we Swap him for one of your players when MCB is leaving and Tom is better than all your wingers bar charnley

In rubber duckie's world we can sign whoever we want regardless of contracts, its only by choice that we haven't got a goalkicker, haven't had a decent halfback since Briers 5 years ago...

I thought Roberts' best Tina Turner cover was "I can't stand the rain".

So Jackson Hastings as signed for Salford,can’t see that as a marquee player.

Re: Rumours 2 : Thu Jul 12, 2018 11:54 am  

It's a superb signing for Salford.
He has all that Cherry-Evans baggage.
Are they getting him for now?
He'll be a drop saver with Lui.

Reading the backstory in the NRL, Jackson Hastings sounds like a total utter nightmare.

He's only 22 and already been released by 2 clubs because of 'falling out with senior players'.

At Manly it seems like they had issues with him all through the pre season and tried to manage his attitude and then once the season started it all boiled over and the Manly squad wanted him out.

Now apparently his reputation is too toxic so no NRL club would go near him. I'm surprised there were a few SL clubs chasing him...is he an elite, once in a generation, Thurston-style talent who just happens to have attitude issues?

Or is he just one of many half-decent players coming through the ranks in Aus and clubs have said, nah, we can easily get the same or better standard as him, but without the baggage...
