Excellent! It's that time again... :lol:

 

[jed]

Crusaders have their first signing (here at least)
http://news.smh.com.au/sport/raiders-utility-chalk-headed-for-wales-20080725-3ktu.html

 

[Evil Homer]

They've apparently signed Ryan O'Hara too, not seen it confirmed by the club yet though.

 

[Banana]

I think that you can safely add Paul Cooke to the outs at HKR.

Widders to Cas

http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,24111587-23214,00.html

 

[Evil Homer]

They are 'close to a deal' but not officially signed yet - I take official to be when it appears on the BBC, Superleague or the club's website as the Aussie papers are not always 100% accurate. I can remember last year Fox were reporting that my club Huddersfield had signed Charlie Tonga, complete with quotes from the Bulldogs, and speaking to people at the Giants they didn't even know who Tonga was

Cas have signed Rangi Chase though.

 

[Earl Hickey]

There's a rumour saying that Souths are close to signing a backrower/prop from the ESL.

Any idea as to who it might be mate?

 

[Banana]

Glenn Morrison has been linked with a return home.

 

[The Electric Horseman]

Is there a list of all current players without a contract for next season?

 

[madred]

Jeremy Smith To Salford Reds

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Mark Bryant to Crusaders and Dyer, Lennon and Tangata-Toa re-signed

 

[Evil Homer]

Where have you seen this?

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Okay maybe not confirmed but rumoured. ie it's true but not announced.

 

[stormtragic]

i thought Bryant had signed with Warrington?

 

[Evil Homer]

i thought Bryant had signed with Warrington?

Don't know where you've got that from. Warrington are ok for props and have Paul Wood returning after missing basically the entire season, I would think if they did sign any overseas players they would be much bigger names than Bryant.

Celtic also linked with Ben Vaeau, but still no word. I heard they are waiting to hear the RFL's stance on the number of overseas players they are allowed before announcing any signings.

 

[Evil Homer]

Widders now confirmed for Cas while Chester retires.

 

[madred]

Swain Signs for Salford

 

[The Clan]

Brad Drew rumoured to be leaving Wakefield for Parramatta!

 

[stormtragic]

is there a list off all ESL players off contract for 2009?
