He won't be anywhere near that, anyway if 150k doesn't count on the cap and we have someone putting the money in from outside, does it matter.

Agree with you though, needs to lose a couple of stone, wonder how he pre season was effected at Rovers with what went on. Would need a big pre season, and that's dependent on a new SC team.

That's how I'd use the quota spots.

Pele over Sao and I’d agree, Pele at another club with a good coach would go well..

No coincidence is it, that after the dross served up yesterday there are two, maybe more, possibly incomings?

We’re 4 weeks without a coach, all gone quiet on that front, are we all under the illusion that it’s Lam?

Not sure, he is 23 and been at 3 clubs and hasn't really made an impact at any of them.

Ideally I get rid of both and use a quota spot for other positions, have Ese Ese, Satae, Fash, Ashworth, Aydin and one more domestic prop (unless the club think Wainhouse could step up)

No coincidence that the HDM have leaked those two stories today, it will have come from Myler to try and distract. Myler and Dan are defiantly connected and the club are using the HDM to release stories when they want them.

While Satae is better than Pele, let's not forget he gave up at the end of last season when he had his move arranged. He's also 31 and I feel we've seen his better days already

Honestly, not got a clue who it's going to be. Most of the names seem to be getting plucked out of thin air by the press. Lam seems to be getting linked due to him being out of contract and we're making moves for some of their players so people started putting two and two together. Could add up to four, could easily be five. But given the current player links from Catalans, will there be a story linking us to McNamara this week? Who knows!

In peles defence, the bulldogs wanted to Keep him and he asked for a release because he wanted to come over here and have regular game time. I think he’d excel in the right environment. Young, has a good attitude and just moved over the other side of the world into a poor side

I don't think he was the only one that gave up to be fair!

Wanted to come here as he thought it would be easy, if he wants to stay, he needs to up his game massively, how long was he on yesterday before he missed that tackle of Meadows?
