It says in Irving's pile of rubbish this week that the club are on the verge of a massive signing for next season. A few names have been banded about in various other threads but with nothing concrete as yet i wonder who the 'massive' signing is. By the way i wouldnt count on the mystery player being a front rower, Irving's grasp of Journalism doesn't stretch to playing with words.

Just some food for thought though, after the Salford game Phil LeuLeuai (if thats how you spell it) made an effort to applaud the Haven fans after the final hooter.

As for Webster there is very little chance of him venturing this far north. He would almost certainly want a fortune and we've just signed Russell to complement the players capable of playing at 1/2 back already at the club.

Lastly on reading the column he first name which sprang to mind was Robbie Paul. He and Stokes know each other. Not sure of his contract status @ Salford mind. He also has media comitments which may not be compatible with a move to our neck of the woods.

My money is firmly on Phil Leaulili.  All the circumstansial evidence points to him.    Make our front row pretty impresive next year.

Just need to make sure GB resigns

Mr Irvings words were 'quite a major name' - not quite sure how you can read into those that the signing is 'massive'!?!

I'll go for Big Phil, but would prefer Big Joe!

Townie,

Don't worry yourself with what happening in the big boys league. This "massive" signing has been sponsored if he decides to come.

Who ever it is will have to be off quota.  Liek the sound of Joe Vangana left Bradford non quota would be entertaining seeing him running into some NL1 packs.

I wouldn't really call any of those a 'massive' signing or 'quite a major name' other than Cakacaka whose name has far too many letters!
