Green was signed on before Williams decided to leave from what I understand
Alright then so who is this rumoured player then?

For those clamouring for signings news I'd imagine we're likely to get confirmations in the next week or so, from memory Denton was our first official signing last season and he was confirmed at the forum same time last year

Any news on any transfer rumblings such as Will Spencer, would love that one to be true.
Everything i have heard on that is saying it's done and dusted, just needs to be announced.
But we shall see i guess

64000$ question???
All will be revealed

* Will we be purchasing firepower just to stay in the Premiership OR

** Better firepower to attempt a Top 4

OR *** Will we ever purchase top players so that we might win something other than the Stiffs Cup ???

Nah we will be signing a pick and mix from players who are either Ex Tigers, have abysmal injury records, at the end of their careers, or no one has ever heard of. I sincerely hope to be proven wrong but I am not holding my breath.
Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity

Dagg would be a great coup for a Prem club post RWC. I've always thought his kicking and high ball game would transfer over to the Prem conditions very well.

Nathan Harris would be a strong signing if TPN heads back to Oz. I'd imagine he'd cost less than TPN and could rotate well with Kerr. With Coles and Taylor ahead of him plus the freakish Asafo Aumua coming through he might well look to move on post RWC as well.

I don't know about the rest of you but, particularly at this time of year, whenever I see this thread highlighted in red showing there's a new message, my heart skips a beat!

Mind you - that could be the Atrial Fibrillation.

Hope this message hasn't got anyone over-excited!
