Super League 2008 Ins and Outs

[The Clan]

Assuming you mean Wakey, they're being heavily linked with Drew and Reilly from Huddersfield who are both proven performers, even at the back end of their careers. Brough is a decent signing, in terms of ability he's no worse than Jeffries.

Drew deal looks to be a certainty while Reilly is still up in the air.

I welcome the signing of Drew, he's been absolute quality for the Giants, I don't see the attraction of Reilly!

Rumour has another signing coming in a Wakefiled who will shock everybody (not Brough). The front runner is Paul Sculthorpe but there are also whispers about a top NRL player!

Wigan sign Salford front rower Andy Coley.

Bradford have confirmed that second rower Chris McKenna and winger Marcus St Hilaire will be released at the end of the season.

The Bulls are set for a major overhaul, with the signing of Harlequins centre Paul Sykes set to be followed by the arrival of Wakefield's Semi Tadulala and Ben Jeffries, Hull's Wayne Godwin and Huddersfield's Chris Nero.

i like Chris Nero

but seriously, Semi Tadulala and Ben Jeffries?

 

[Evil Homer]

Coley > Wigan

Even more of a strange signing is Simon Finnegan to Bradford

You mean as well as Tony Martin? :shock:

 

[Evil Homer]

Drew and Reilly confirmed in at Wakefield, at midnight for some reason. Can't really understand why they've signed Reilly, Drew could do a job though.

Stacey Jones unexpectedly retires, so Catalans will be needing a new 7.

Rumours are Finnegan to Bradford, but no confirmation of anything as yet.

 

[bartman]

Will be interesting to see who Catalans try and get... I don't think there's any local product to that standard yet still available at 7?

Jon Sharp tipping Brown and Robinson to be a future GB halves pairing - good for Hudds if that comes true...

 

[bartman]

Catalans confirm that Adel Fellous and Lionel Touxigas have been dropped from the squad to "UTC" for next season. Quigley departing the squad to allow Gorrell to resume his hooking spot.

Rumoured Stacey Jones replacements so far: Michael Dobson, Matthew Head...

 

[Evil Homer]

I've always been quite impressed by Fellous, surprised he's been demoted. Teixido was really to be expected, if it is the hooker Teixido who has been demoted and not promising back-rower Touxagas.

 

[bartman]

Yes, my mistake, Teixido not Touxagas...

Wigan sign Salford front rower Andy Coley.

Have any of them signed yet? My mail is that 3 of them are all but certainties, while the other is a 50/50 chance.

 

[Evil Homer]

None officially.

 

[S.S.T.I.D]

Chev Walker to KR?

http://www.sportinglife.com/rugbyle...ORY_NAME=rleague/07/09/13/RUGBYL_Hull_KR.html

They are building nicely but still need a class scrum-half if they are to move well up the league in my opinion. Webster is solid at best, but they seem to be guaranteeing their survival next season.

 

[deluded pom?]

Walker was confirmed as a Dull KR player today.

 

[Evil Homer]

Haggerty > Quins too.

KR are strengthening well considering it's only their second season.

 

[Stooper]

Tyrone Smith (Quins) has signed for CA Brumbies, an Aussie Union side.

[deluded pom?]

Fitzhenry confirmed for Caravan Park.

 

[Evil Homer]

Hull KR have released an absolute boatload of players.

Chris McKenna's off to Doncaster!http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.....mckenna_makes_surprise_move_to_doncaster.php
