Wire fans in work are back in bouyant mood. Two 'massive' signings to be announced in the next two weeks for this season, which they say will restore their early season dominance in the forwards. And one 'huge, seismic' signing for next season. I know Matt Lodge is a free agent at the moment, he could be one of them. Seismic signing? Would be funny if they've gazumped Wigan for Thompson.

Saddened seems to know more than us.

Hope somebody does outbid us. I can’t think off too many riskier signings than Thompson at the moment, given his injury issue, his concussion problems and his likely huge salary demands. He could prove a wise gamble but he’s definitely a gamble for whoever gets him. Maybe I’m still sore from the George Burgess fiasco, so maybe it’s just that.

Like wise, I just don’t think given current circumstances he should command such a high salary. Saying that if you got the player he was at Saints then you would say yes.

Don't think Thompson is the answer - I'm sure I read that he's only managed 25 games in his 3 years with the Doggies

Unless we could get Thompson 9n a cheaper deal than his current wage then i'd leave him be.
I do agree about Harrison i don't really see him as a prop, definately more of a 2nd row/loose forward type player.
I would like 2 signings to be announed in the coming weeks, BUT unless something has suddenly changed, Powell said nothing is even close and he'd have no reason to lie.

At the end of tonight’s match Carney had said 3 teams rumoured to be in for Holbrook, Us, Leeds and Giants then Giants came out and basically said it’s nonsense.

Just had a text saying Jarrod Croker, he would be 33 when he got here.
