Just getting ridiculous now, can you just stop trolling please. This is a site for honest discussions about National 1 rugby and thinking we won't notice that your making up signings, could've at least used a better made up name then just stealing names from big actors to try get a rise from people. Get a grip mate, go touch some grass

In fairness Will Smith did skipper the club a couple of seasons ago when last in Nat one, 

Would be a welcome return but would rather club announce it if true than a keyboard warrior 

Not sure if Dwayne Johnson is returning he was a Rock in defence when last at the club

Really? Are you sure? Will Smith from Men in Black was our skipper in National 1?

Think you're getting confused with another club, Trystan Lloyd led the boys into battle every week in National 1. I know Tykes are called the money club but don't think we've got enough to pay Will Smith a match fee LOLLOL

a lucky guess I'd say, but you're right, they definitely don't seem like one to adventure outside too much LOL 

Clearly someone in the know with beef with the club ...  That doesn't seem to narrow it down these days on here Tongue, maybe a released player or someone not quite hitting the level to get in the team, who knows? but grinds the axe instead of just letting club announce it in their own time and of course once contracted !!!! 

Quite sad but if it lets them have a little tap of their keyboard who are we to stop their fun, 

I mean if you have the inside scoop why not? Everyone knew about Faz being announced on the lions tour before it was officially announced.

Attempting to police rumours or moderate the fourm is probably a little more self righteous than providing accurate rumours

Not sure anyone policing anything it's their choice what they post, 

My preference is waiting for club announcements 

However think I may have been right earlier in thread about announcing before contracts begin that's a bit over the line and not helpful to either club involved, as is belittling a clubs media team, most of whom I'm guessing do it on a voluntary basis and have a remit of when things can be contractually released

Not policing just observations of maybe a tad of trouble causing instead of "inside scoop" 

If that's self righteous then fair enough but context is there in earlier threads 

Have a good day

The glory days am i right! Can not wait to travel to the likes of Birmingham again to support the team. Do you know how players such as Josh Peace, Pete Barry, Connor Lloyd and James Tinknell are performing now? would be great to sign them four up again

We should meet for a pint and discuss performances after games, I'm sure you're a regular at Viaduct showbar so we can always meet there? x

Stortford are quietly going about their business. 4 signings so far. 

Aman Johal-Centre from Nottingham
Jai Johal-Fly half from Nottingham 
Ryan Davies-Scrum half from Rainey (Ireland)
JP Phelan-Prop from Guernsey 

From my googling the Johal brothers look very promising and on paper go straight into the first XV. Would expect the other two to be squad players. 

I'd say they're still probably 2/3 short of having a strong squad so hopefully not the last of the signings!

Dusty signings compared to the mighty Leeds
