Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Wiz]

He has the skills to be a Dylan Edwards in a consistent side.

I don’t think he has at present. In my opinion he is currently average to below average (compared to other fullbacks) in acceleration, power, ball playing and work rate. That’s off the top of my head.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

They're trying hard but we're up against uncle Nick. Xavior Willison is more likely.

Wilson has been rumoured for ages, i rate him are we a genuine chance, we are looking to purge players there has to be a plan to it.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

If the Roosters are showing any interest in Talagi, we can forget about him.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Was told Bateman back to England at seasons end and Naden gone as well at seasons end

Hull FC maybe??? Richo’s old club he was CEO at.

Probably looks that way playing amongst a predictable, clunky, inexperienced attack that has no real threat to the opponent. I’ll hold my judgement until the quality of his teammates improves. He’s shown me enough in his young career where he was probably the legitimate NRL rookie of the year in a wooden spoon side.

Crazy Katauga and Blore left because they felt their pathways were blocked...

Just shows sometimes sticking it out for a year or 2 might be the right thing to do careerwise (hope the Large bros take note)!

BLORE left because bunji was disinterested or sitting on his hands! He’s killing it at the drizzle he’s locked in at 12. Great move by the club

 

[jrtiger]

you get the feeling this might have something to do with Richo being in England…



The hottest property in the English Super League is heading to the NRL.

Warrington back rower Matty Nicholson has told his club that he wants to move to Australia next season, sparking a race to secure the signature of a player who has thrived under Sam Burgess this season.

Sport Con understands that his Australian manager Liam Ayoub has been contacted by at least five clubs expressing an interest in signing Nicholson, who has one year remaining on his contract but is believed to be available for a minor transfer fee.

Nicholson, an edge back rower, is only 20 but has been a fixture in the Warrington side this season under Burgess, helping them into a share of the Super League lead.

NRL clubs have been monitoring him for some time but Nicholson knocked back interest in 2022 while at Wigan as a teenager.

He opted instead to join Warrington to play more Super League. That move has paid off with NRL interest spiking in the two years he has been at the Wolves.

Clubs are now ready to make their move after Nicholson informed Burgess that he covets a switch to the NRL. Nicholson also played one Test for England last year and will join the swelling English ranks in Australia.

Mayby Richo will be having a chat about English centre Harry Newman

Very good player

Anyone know if Richo has any strong links to any player managers? And if so, who their key players are?

 

[Tito Santana]

I’m going to call it, I think Latu is probably surplus to needs on 500K. I’d back Galvin in.

Agreed. Josh Schuster Mk2. Fat. Injury prone. Career made from potential. Pathetic.

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

think we will sign tallis duncan

Do you have a scoop or are you basing it on Richo's praise for Duncan? Hopefully the former because he'd be a great addition to our pack.

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

Agreed. Josh Schuster Mk2. Fat. Injury prone. Career made from potential. Pathetic.

Jeez mate, you're quick to write him off after a few games of playing injured and out of position.

 

[Tiger Tarl]

Remember Richo has a strong relationship with Sam Burgess, current coach of Warrington. I reckon this Matty Nicholson thing has legs. He could be our new Gareth Ellis.

 

[Tito Santana]

Jeez mate, you're quick to write a player off. And he's not fat.

he’s a bit fat come on

 

[finnzo]

Agreed. Josh Schuster Mk2. Fat. Injury prone. Career made from potential. Pathetic.

That’s abit harsh mate we haven’t even seen him play fully fit yet give him at least 2 years and to think he is over weight is just ridiculous

no specific details only that we have spoken to him in the last week that is all and from what I heard he was keen.

 

[851]

He is a good one, that would be a great pick up

 

[Tito Santana]

It may be harsh but when you’re the highest paid player to never have played first grade it’s brings great expectations. Until proven otherwise- fat, shit hamstrings, he’s done nothing. Pathetic.

 

[851]

Talagi is best at fullback

He wants to play centre

 

[Tiger Stripes]

We just need to get our attack humming and Bula will be a net contributor in my opinion. He’s still learning first grade.

A slow learner?
