Arriba!

Multiple people here, including the POM, confirm he's coming. Maybe the club want to deal with the Moses situation first?

Assume he is still on holidays but its weather he goes back to UK or Aus will be interesting..

Did someone say that the Bateman announcement is waiting on Moses ?? IF we were to snag Moses they were going to have to adjust salary spread.

I would be surprised if Simpkin hasn't been given a tap on the shoulder. For whatever reason, he has offered nothing despite all the raps when he signed. Options now look much better than him.

He's 20. Harry Grant was 23 when he came and actually played first grade for a proper period for WT. Not saying Simpkin will be that good but he's got a few years of development before he starts hitting anywhere near his ceiling

He was told he could look elsewhere a while ago , but been going good in preseason and not going anywhere , so yeah champ not been tapped on the shoulder at all

I don’t understand why we would move him at this stage anyway. He is the only option at hooker with NRL experience other than Api, and through a season you are going to need 3 at least.

Hope Plan B doesn’t look like this
MM to Dogs
Kyle Flanagan to us

the kids need to have it explained to them as Harry did,your time will come,get your body,frame mind etc ready before your ego is

Our plan B should be asking Gus who else he wants to target and staying away from those so we don’t publicly humiliate ourselves anymore.

a lot of players play good in KOE but fail to translate it to first grade

True. Plus he is a sharp shooter with goal kicking.

Oh God. Are we seriously talking up Kyle Flanagan? 😂

Because thats where he belongs KOE….4 coaches have tried and failed with him…we can and will do much better than this guy

dont want him here but just seems like a better player then the league world gives him credit for

 

[Merlot]

To my mind, there is no shame in trying, and not succeeding. This happens all the time. Our direction and attitude , is good, and that's all that matters!
