I find that difficult to believe. As someone else said, that's a hell of a lot of bread. Maybe the cash and Fielden would be more reasonable. Why would we chuck Pryce in as well? - unless someone's finally decided that he's just not going to make it. Though - on second thoughts, Bradford seem to be very weak in the three-quarters. Maybe they're insisting on gettin Karl back? You never know.

It is a little steep in terms of two players AND 200k isn’t it.

Is Burgess worth all that and also the wages he’d probably demand as well? Probably not imo.

LMS isn’t as good as Burgess but he’d be a dam sight cheaper in both wages and a transfer fee. 50k + Ainscough on loan maybe to get him from Quins?

Sorry people didn't re read what I'd written before I posted, we've supposedly offered Bradford 200,000 plus Fielden and Pryce for Burgess, that's what I read.

I think someone is doing a Kevin Sinfield on Sam Tomkins to you

Sounds made up with the figures involved there but imaging our front row next season if some rumours came true.

Fielden out

Webb and Burgess in



Webb, Burgess, Coley, Feka, Prescott, OCarroll



Thats a good set of props

McIlorum & O'Carroll should go out on loan to a SL Club as part of the deal, because if we sign a Prop & HB it's those who will be missing out and rotting in the reserves.

I've heard another rumour. Martin Gleeson to Wigan - Richie Mathers going the other way + £100K.

He went to watch his mate play in the reserves at Orrell and as such must be signing.

My point proven! Nobody has suggested that he has signed, somebody asked everybody their thoughts about why Brough would be talking to Noble with a member of the Wakey staff in Nobles office at Orrell at the weekend.


If he did go watching his mate as has been suggested, I would think his mate would be quite dissapointed that he had come all that way to watch him play for 20 mins then leave.

I have to tell you, I for one am quite interested to know why Brough was there. It's intriguing, and I'm not quite clear why folk have dismissed it as a rumour so readily.
