You don't mean this season.... do you? Either way, great news!!

 

[hsvjones]

If this is true it sounds like we might of got our hands on a winner.. Fingers crossed.
Still only 24 years old and played at a high level..
Now the wait to see if true..............

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Natural talent.. He's a Wigan lad, he was born to play, just like his dad. Here's a small compilation of him from 2019.

Do we get him this year or next?

 

[Chicken_Faced_Killa]

Good work by the club. I know people will come out saying Super League is a class below etc etc but the club is doing the right thing by looking a t quality players outside the NRL to build the roster

I'm guessing that means that Jimmy the Jet will be leaving on a jet plane .....

If think more likely BJ. Jet is worth a gamble at sub $200k I reckon, he might come good.

 

[balmain boy]

The Jet would have to prove he has something to offer other than injuries and crap defence. Sure we haven't got him early ball but he still hasn't got involved much at all and has made errors when he has. At the moment would be a massive waste of space and money as he offers nothing and would be taking the place of someone who may offer us something

 

[Demps]

This has been a long time coming.

He's fast.
Hopefully he kills it.
Not another Greg Eden 2.0

We need some backs.
Hopefully we can jag a few more.

Love to see Korobete come back.

 

[Curaeus]

Welcome good news. Might even help silence some of the fools in the Murdoch press heaping abuse on WT and calling for our demise. Time will tell how the young man goes in the NRL. He appears to have plenty of ability. Might even inspire Joey to uncork one of his old wrecking ball centre performances this week against the Knights.

Greg Eden... there's a name I forgot about.

Him and Joe Burgess were hyped up English outside backs around the same time and both flopped hahaha

That's them....
Ultimate flops.

Hopefully Gildart is a diamond for us though.
We need some decent backs.

I miss Simona.

Reserve grade in Australia is inferior also and that looks like our only hope here. I'm all for raiding the superleague if no one here wants to join us.

Pretty sure Koro dissed the club on social media earlier this year. He ain't coming back.

Simona is a shadow of the player he was. Not even a standout playing for Blacktown these days.

good player I'd keep Joey L and let Roberts go he is cooked

Don't write him off yet, hasn't got any good ball.

Roberts hasn’t had any ball at all and is below min contract. BJ won’t ever be cheap and has had 1 good game for us and 30 terrible games. People have short memories. If BJ plays the rest of the season as a player of his skill/talent should then look at keeping him but he hasn’t done anything to warrant us to even think about it yet.

Nah he’s cooked mate ..
