Ben Jeffries??
Things are now, officially, "That bad".

These rumours are getting better by the day...

Personally I reckon we will either get Sammat or start the season with no signing and wait to see who becomes available.

I'm still hopeful of 1 if not 2 coming in.

No he wouldn't as he hasn't been trained by the federation. He'll be classed as non-fed, just like Lauaki and Moa.

Manu has dispensation as he was signed prior to 2008.

I think Mason has been granted special dispensation from the RFL.

As it stands, we have just one place available, the same as when we had Berrigan.

are u sure?

I know it's confusing but he would count as a non fed trained player, we only have one spot left.

So it would to be only one of them.

Surely we could do a Rovers?.

I hope you are right, but the closer it gets then more doubtful it is imo, not heard anything about the 2nd offer for Sammutt, I am confident if we get any-one it will be him and I would be happy with that..maybe no news is good news.

Well I would love Chae but I cannot seriously see that happening.
