Citizen journalism.

As already said, tees it up lovely so that when we do sign someone it will be "F**K sake, we're meant to be in for Hargreaves and end up with <insert name here>. F**King joke" A bit like the timely boost mechanic but in reverse.

I've been told to not believe everything you see on Twitter, so maybe we need to reign it in a bit!

Trolls love to invent a big name signing story to fabricate "bad news" when it doesn't happen. Remember one poster milking a Benji Marshall fairytale ad nauseam a while back.

Think Mrs B has it spot on.
People widely speculate on improbable signings, then we end up with a more realistic one.

Cue much teeth gnashing

If they can find another Mini or two then I'll be happy.

Any big signing would be revealed in Aussie press here as they would certainly know more than RH or the HDM that’s for sure
As many now know RL is a religion in Sydney and Brisbane alas not Melbourne

Does Lewis Bienek not figure in the plans?

For next season he does. He is suffering from having no pre season at all, and its taking him a while to get his fitness. Will continue to play for Batley and the reserves for this year

We could do with a fit Bienek at Broncos right now!
