Hmmm the club making statements.

Royce seems to unaware of any impending move by Leon www.skysports.com/story/0,19528, ... 23,00.html Monaghan will become the latest rumour to keep this thread rolling

Kearney/Herbert first choice doesn't fill me with confidence.



One is not in his best position, both have a bit of history with injuries and Herbert hasn't had too many games at SL/NRL level.



I'm sure Potter knows what he's doing though.

I guess it's not very easy sorting out signing a proven halfback. Not a surprise. A shame though as someone like Pryce would make such a difference. With the squad as is we should be good enough for 8th. The lack of depth at halfback is a worry but depth elsewhere should mean we aren't quite as shot as last year. If we lose Herbert then we're looking at 7th/8th at best I fear.



We'll have to see what happens. Hood did say more signings to come which there will be, it could be in months rather than weeks though. I guess we'll have to be patient.

Given what's been said we'd have to assume that we're currently under the cap. Ideally we'd want a pryce or a chase but if they're just not available then far better to wait for quality and see what happens in the next 6 months than to rush and give a contract to someone that we want rid of next year. That ability to wait is the mark of a top side and how it acts.

Who Bosc?

Quote Bulls1989="Bulls1989"Royce Simmonds sounds fairly confident pryce is going no where....... www.skysports.com/story/0,19528, ... 23,00.html'" I still think we'll see Pryce in a Bulls shirt in 2011.

Hey we released a statement saying we expect Orford to be at training. I think saints saying about Pryce's training is just to keep rumours not going out of control and make sure all business is done behind closed doors. at the end of the day non of us know for sure so just wait and see

Do we have much room left currently on the cap to sign a quality player, wouldn't of thought scully and worrincy we're on big bucks so don't we need to offically offload Orford first? as his salary will still count won't it under the 'real time' Salary cap?

I heard this at work too, didn't pay much attention to it, but i suppose makes sense, back down to 2 hookers, another half back, a youngster who will get much needed game time in superleague, when chances will be limited at the Bulls. We'll wait and see what tomorrow brings.

at time he asked for his release and we subsequently signed herbert, there was a mention that we were in consultation/taking advice from RFL in how we handled Orford release. given that technically orford still takes a quota spot we shouldnt have been able to sign herbert.



Edit: just to add to above



just seen an interesting comment on T&A website in comments on shirt release story. Someone posted an email purporting to be from stuart duffy (take that with a pinch of salt as the poster has been known to be a bit iffy mind). In it stuart says we have special dispensation from RFL to sign herbert and go over the quota limit, Whilst Orford remains on both our salary cap and quota. However the RFL will not register Herbert as a player for us until Orford release is finalised and his quota spot is free'd up. IF Orford is still being paid and counting towards salary cap that would certainly explain why signings have gone quiet. I'd imagine we had enough cap space to accomodate Herbert even with Orford still on books but we would certainly need him off to accomodate any more.
