Exactly.

There is zero chance of Thurston ending up at Wigan or any other superleague club for that matter.

It's encouraging if people are hearing rumours of us at least being in for decent players but i'd expect somebody like Orford over a player of Thurstons standards.

I'd sooner have him at this stage than Webb.

He's played in 9 games out of 11

Dont let that get in the way of a good story though. You have more chance of finding rocking horse crap than Thurston coming over here

Say if we do sign O'Mealey/Webb and Orford

Would we have enough money under the cap?

Who would have to leave?

Remember Tomkins and Ainscough will most likely get improved contracts.

Bailey will be on a large contract, equal to one of those two i would imagine.

As for the rest, Phelps+Smiths wage would also be a reasonably large chunk as well i'd imagine? And what about coleys as well?

We can do better than that. Lets get rid of:

Smith
Phelps
Coley
Hansen
Riddell (work around his contract)
Bailey
Fielden (send him to the Roosters with Noble)
