Big name, stinks of trying to appease the fans that. I don't believe that for one minute, can see many direct debits getting cancelled. Going to be a interesting atmosphere Friday night

Going to be a interesting atmosphere Friday night Give it a rest. It’s disappointing news but it’s one player gone who wanted to leave. He could have gone pre season but we’ve got him for another year. Blease was in Aus pre season scoping signings so no reason to call Watson a liar. I’m concerned as well but I’ll be giving my support as always on Friday - it helps nobody doing otherwise.

I’m going to be a realistic and admit that I’d rather live in the south of France than the North West of England. I’ll always respect Gil for his outstanding efforts last season.

I'll be giving my support to the lads on Friday the ones who want to wear the shirt.

Last year they were all on the backs of Jones and Bibby until they were cheering their names again in the run to the Grand Final.

Yes it's no good keeping a player that doesn't want to stay. He has his value for us and he wants to earn more money.
Hopefully this year is one of consolidation and development, and Blease can at least plan. When Dudson came, I was shocked after the way he was at Widnes but he's been a revelation. So we must trust Watson and Blease to sort it. At least it seems that we are trying to get people signed up early doors now.
On a negative note, New York are going to play in the Challenge Cup next year and play 3 NRL teams Negative because the RL says we haven't enough top grade players so where are their players coming from,,,,our diminishing pool. So the result...players wages go up and the pool of players goes down, , like GOB leaving to help form Toronto. Well Red Star Belgrade are in I think and Vslencia forming. Perhaps the Blease plan is a return to the fold😉 And NY teams always have mega sponsorship, so money no object.

Yeah his kids want to learn French 😂
Can't blame him but it's just wrong to announce it so early.
As for the overseas signing it just has to be a replacement for he who shall not be named again.

Pretty sure I've seen that NY are involved with Master Card and I want to say Marriot.
The odd thing with New York is that will actually be playing in New Jersey.

Just reading the reports about the NY and it's impressive.
Funding guaranteed for 5 years of $50,000,000 yes Fifty Million Dollars.
Players will be based in NY not England.
Players will have it written into contracts that they must complete community works after training.
Just seems to be a good business model.

Once the Yanks get involved it’s good by Superleague hello Major League Rugby League, the game is getting stupid, what good can our National team get from all these foreign teams joining, we can’t beat the Australians now and as for the South Sea Island teams we can’t beat them either. Paris was created to join Superleague so as GB could play good Northern Hemisphere opposition, same reason Catalan was formed, the French team is garbage, so that hasn’t worked, except for the NRL Rugby League is a joke.

The funniest thing about the whole Dudson issue, is the amount of fans who were definitely cancelling Season Ticket Direct Debit's for signing him in the first place. Now the same bunch are apparently threatening a mass walk out because he's decided to move on. Salford fans, were so predictably nihilistic its hilarious.

Said when we signed Dudson we had got an absolute gem, Widnes was a blip. We saw last season that he is a classic prop forward, solid, dependable and a real team man.
Les Cats have got a very good man for 2 seasons.
He will be very hard to replace.

Wasn't gonna put it on here but heard off a few people now that the Lussick/Evalds rumours originated over in France at the weekend from a certain Supporters Trust supremo and RD1 organiser who also posts on here. Perhaps he can update us all?
Agree with some of the sentiments above. When Dudson signed the club got slated, and now he's going the club are getting slated again. Can't win sometimes.
We do love a good meltdown though. The grand final now seems like the distance past.

As long has he puts in the work this season it’s fine. Good luck to him as well he deserves it. Forwards can be replaced it’s the backs where everyone struggles. Hope this supposed signing is a half back everyone has let go under the radar.

When this thread started it was about speculation rumour gossip etc, (see p1of it) designed I'm sure to let people have their light hearted say. So calm down dear, relax, enjoy the banter, craic, and don't take everything literally or personally.
