Confirmed Signings (& some departures) - All Teams 2018/2019

[Rabbitohs4]

On good authority our team is virtually completely signed up.

I understand at least 12 players will be back that’s for sure..

But don’t see why they can’t be announced one each week if nothing to hide.

It’s me being impatient

I like the fact we aren't showing our hand. It's actually more exciting for me.

 

[Jonesy83]

Do people really think, other teams don’t know who we’ve signed up already for next season?

For example if Bowns, Faryna & Ulmer have already signed, I’d be amazed if Sheffield / Nottingham etc didn’t know already.

Just like I’d be surprised if we didn’t know of players other teams have signed up already that have yet to be publicly announced.

Did the ‘authority’ share any names?

No room for late signings?

Not sure I follow this logic - if we’re talking to players then yes. But once we’re signing them surely the EIHL know because of the paperwork involved?

Anyone with good authority would never mention it, this club is watertight at the moment, believe signings when the club announce it. Anything else to me is Chinese whispers. Good things come to those who wait.

To an extent yes.
Other teams might have contacted some of our players to find out whether they’d be interested in a move, but it’s then up to the player/agent to say “sorry they’ve already got a contract for next year” or “sorry they’ve re-signed with Cardiff again”.
But they certainly won’t know all our returnees for next season. And far less likely to know our new signings.

Also, it may feel like we’re announcing signings slower than previous seasons, but we actually aren’t.

Last season by the end of May we’d announced three re-signings and one new signing (Moore).
We may also have confirmed that Richardson was on a 2 year deal.

Don’t we have to register the players with the league though?

I don’t mind the wait - the last 4 years’ evidence displays we’re in very good hands.

Of course other teams know, word gets around. And Simms usually announces other teams signings before they do!

Panthers new coach busy announcing new players. Looks another solid signing....bit of size in their defence corps having added Tommy Hughes as well

 

[Wannabe2]

What a great signing this is, this guys pedigree is awesome, big guy who don’t take stupid penalties, and can obviously play. Looks a neat signing.

A great signing. Nottingham look like they mean business again with this new coach. We’re going to need those upgrades where we can get them.

What a signing for the panthers. Big, smart D guy who can put up numbers in some of the best leagues. Not jealous at ALL

Agreed. I personally hear little rumours regarding us and that’s a credit to the club for being water tight as you say. I would hazard a guess only Kelman, Lord and Kemp are in the loop with players returning or new signings, for there respective reasons.

Is it? The Dease story was common knowledge about 2 weeks before it was announced and the fact Jamie Elson was released 2 weeks ago and the story still isn't out proves things aren't as watertight as you may think.

 

[Temme]

Craig Moore confirmed as returning with the Devils, announced via Devils twitter feed...

/edit - wrong thread

But they ain’t players, and the club don’t have to release anything about Dease, or Jamie if they wish not too.
