The Newtown Jets extend good wishes to Adam Henry (@Addy_Henry) on his transfer to the Bradford Bulls (@OfficialBullsRL ) - all the best!

This has been discussed on our rumours thread already. I wonder how things stand on his visa/work permit?

Barely seen anything of this guy but he looked decent on the clip I watched a couple of weeks ago. He's a big lad.

Anyone know how long the contract is?

He's confirmed on his twitter that he's moving to Engand. Squad is looking promising!

hindle xiii Thu Sep 26, 2013 12:04 pm said Adam henry had been "mentioned to him" by another forumer. That must be Judge 666 who had first predicted a surname beginning with H on Mon Sep 23, 2013 8:33 pm, as on Thu Sep 26, 2013 9:16 pm Judge666 definitively and unequivocally stated that it is Adam Henry.

So a forum brownie point and Mystic Meg silver star to Judge666

I knew it was him but was sworn to secrecy

I knew it was going to be him before he did, in fact I knew in 1998. But I was sworn to secrecy.

That's not possible. I was the only one who knew in 1998 and if there is only one thing I [ican[/i do, it is keep my trap shut. Were you hacking my emails in 1998?

I knew it was him in 1842 but I couldn't say because I am him.
I am he as you are he as your are me and we are altogether

So who are you again Noah

I knew it was him. You can ask anyone that I have not told and they will confirm that at no point did I tell them that I knew. But I definitely knew.

Is he any good by the way? What position is he?

He's Lulia's replacement. Can play centre, wing and even at 6 if we need him to.
There's a youtube vid of his highlights kicking around on the rumours thread somewhere, although perhaps a more telling insight into what sort of player we're getting is the almost unanimous dislike for the guy on the Roosters forums! To say they are unmoved about his departure is a bit of an understatement


He looks like another Ah Van to me, although that highlight reel does look promising....

Only a silver star FA?

Played all three positions last year for the jets but scored most tries (usually one a game at the backend of the season) at centre or wing. Defensive capabilities not known. Utility, footwork and good offload fits the FC profile. Adds to the depth of the backs in the squad so it will still be competitive when we get injuries rather than a shoe-in of the only player left standing. Approval therefore in principle, subject to performance on the field.

Well done Judge

Now we know one of the 2 new signings,who do we think the other one is.

What's the situation with overseas players.Are we still allowed another foreigner under the non fed rule(which I don't understand to be honest, so clarification from somebody would be good).Is the quota one more this season and have we already filled that with Sammuts exemption last couple of years

One of them is Winterstein Roger, i think they are waiting for the RFL takeover ratification before any announcements.

The other is another agreement with Warrington for Ben Evans, and apparently we have a deal with Hudds for some sort of loan arrangement.

Yep, cos I knew before you, so the gold star goes to me.

Interesting - this kid likes his offloads!

Meh, not as good as Lulia, but I suppose we were lucky to have had him, Lulia had played a fair bit of 1st grade whereas this lad hasn’t. I’ll reserve judgement till I’ve seen him in action but he looks like a typical Kopak Stiff/Bartercard Reject of yesteryear, sort of a Willie Isa/Patrick Ah Van quality. I can’t wait to be proved wrong.

Leave paddy alone! I don't think he did much wrong for us, and he will always score you his quota of tries. Plus he fulfilled our "big hair" quota for a while.

I don't think Ah Van was that bad. His finishing was excellent. However his defence and fitness were not so excellent.

Can I remind everyone of the times Ah Van pelted out of the defence to miss his opponent and leave a huge gap behind. Lulia was a thousand times better. Ah Van, while not quite in the Nick Zisti class of Bulls ex players was the sort of player that you get in a team that won’t make the 8.
