[quote="REDWHITEANDBLUE"]Lawrence gone to the Bulls club stated he wasn't on the radar at all contrary to information posted on platforms[/quote
The rumour was started on the shudds board.

Glad he’s not coming here myself but just shows that those on social media complaining over Lawrence signing was just a waste of air.

Though I don't doubt that he could have done a job for us, I'm glad this isn't happening too.

I think with Ashurst, Proctor and possibly when needed Pitts, we have all the age and experience for 11,12 and 13.

Regarding players in world cup and signings been late to join the squad for training. If we have, they will probably not be back in training till the new year. I expect even the Brits will be given a period off before they join the squad and others we may sign will go home to spend some time and then join late.

Like everyone I'm worried as a fan, however all the people that feel the board want us to fail is rubbish. It's a business and thye want as much out of it as we do for other reasons. We do need some bodies and will be on a budget. So i guess 3 to 4 tops, this is based on JM saying 5 and we have signed two. No matter what we are still the side with least money so it will be tough.

But we are Trinity and whoever wears the jersey will get my support so let stop constantly bagging the club.

Trin until I die.

I don't see the big deal.
Plenty of teams won't have their full squad till new year.
If it means we get the right guy, I don't mind if he turns up the day before the first game.

Plus, if they're of NRL standard, then it's probably likely that they'll be fitter anyway

Reminds me of children trying to guess their Christmas presents.

I don’t mind the guessing but the silly panic some have is ridiculous and it’s the same people every year.

At the fans forum MC made it very clear, by the start of the season we will have a competitive squad of thirty players. That will do for me.

See Michael Lawrence joins Bradford. So that’s another experts prediction totally wrong.

You can all guess what you like but you’ll all be wrong or lucky. No Gale, a total cert according to some, ditto many others.

The club play it so close to their chests these days it not almost impossible to know. I’m around and about the club a lot at present and I’ve never even got a whisper in two months. Admittedly I don’t ask but that’s only because I know it’s futile.

It's that close that all rumours in the press seemed to have dried up
