Scratch another one off the list - Alex Young (Dom Young's brother) has now also signed for the Roosters from Newcastle Thunder

Roosters will have the Young brothers and Lewis Murphy next year, nice little English/Jamaican contingent

Blore also doubtful now - as Wests management have assured him he has a role there in the future

Weird move that, looks to me like a sweetener for Dom to move there.

Unless the deal is already done, I can't see that happening.

Neither can I , unfortunately and even if it is, he'll use the NRL clause to rescind his contract. I am starting to get a bit concerned now, if the club have acquired some more signings, it would be good for them to announce soon, I think, given the amount of concern among the fans. I know we trust in Smith's coaching, but if you haven't got the clay, you can't make the pots, as the saying goes.

As said earlier in the week Graham, 4 British players are signed and the club currently in talks an aussie scrum half, 2 hookers and a prop.

Don't understand the concern personally when we are still only in July.

It's been well documented in the press that Ashworth and Tindall have been signed for next season. As far as I'm aware the club haven't announced this officially. I stand to be corrected if I'm wrong.

With respect they are hardly stella signings and currently not playing for their respective clubs so that surprises me.

Last week Smith said at the end of the NRL season more players become available so I can understand us keeping our powder dry in that respect.
