I wouldn't be too sure, he's fairly hard from what I've heard.

Thoughts on Asotasi on the South Sydney forum: www.rabbitohs.me/warren/showthre ... ext-season Also this is the article which says that we've signed Roy Asotasi: www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sp ... sides.html We he count on the Overseas quota and/or the Non Fed Trained Quota? He played for Samoa yesterday.

If he is nailed on the club must know who is being let go to accommodate him.

NAS
Heath
Kearney
Lilia
Purtell

We have sammut till end of 2014 IIRC

I think he would be a great signing, people need to realise that the quality of player on the market is not what it once was with the NRL salary cap.

We might swap Lulia for Blythe as Warrington are playing Simon Grix in the centres and as far as I know they could possibly let one of their quota's retire or go.

Purtell could finish the season then decide to leave or retire due to health.

Don't think Heath will go anywhere.

Kearney won't be going after this season although Cummins could see Kear/Foster as fullback for 2014 until Naughton is ready?

Could be s straight swap for Nas, Nas out Asotasi in although that would not be beneficial to us :/

Or he could be exempt (he did play for Samoa? the other day)

Which sounds more plausible to you guys?

Manuokafoa signed a 2 yer deal only 6 months or so ago so it's unlikely to be him. My money would be on Lulia leaving.

We certainly could do with a little bit of experience in the pack and he would do very well in SL. I wouldn't want to see silly money thrown at him though.

Why are you guys still going on about the overseas quota? The rules changed several years ago now and his nationality means sod all.

The only restriction that counts anymore is the federation trained allowance, of which he most certainly counts towards.

If Lulia is to leave it would leave us short in the centres. Maybe we should sign Blythe on a permanent contract. It may not be Lulia that leaves though. Purtell may leave if he doesn't feel right, and I think Kearney's contract is up but he has an option for another year. I very much doubt L'Estrange or Manuokafoa will be leaving. There's a big hit from Asotasi in the NRL here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrjQdpRsgd4

We are in discussions with one player and one player only.

It's not Roy Asotasi, sorry to put this one to bed.

An overseas player? How old is he?

One overseas player? Or just one player?

Closer to home.

Strictly speaking, we shouldn't be in discussions with any other players yet should we?

Presume you meant to say one player in addition to the OOC players? Be a bit worrying if we have 10 OOC and are only talking to one player to stay/come in

Agree with this completley. He ran hard and straight and never quit last week. Looked a a real unit! Think he's from Crusaders originally. We need some real granite forwards in the mode of Karl 'Konkrete' Fairbank, and Bernard Dwyer.

Just one player?
Does this suggest that the majority of the OOC first team will be retained at least for 2014?

Probably not - but I'm sure we'll be speaking to players' agents, y'know about our players wanting to extend contracts and the like, but if other names get bandied about....

Would have thought, most of our squad will have had new contracts drawn up and signed just we cant announce them yet.

Yeah, pretty sure that's right. It was fairly obvious from what was said at the forum that when Blake Solly told Gerry and Omar that he was recommending to the board that we got the extra year, that they were taking that as the green light to carry on.

I'd also say that, as there has been nothing but good news since the takeover, this was taken as pretty much a given anyway - when you think of all the trouble various people went to to make sure the club carried on, the idea it would then be just blown away without a very, very good reason is risible.

Will be very interesting come the next round of the license period to see which clubs may lose the SL status, unless PR comes back.

Not to mention what format SL will take - more clubs, fewer clubs, two fully pro SL divisions [though don't ask where they will come from, or who is going to finance it...

Dont know if anyone saw this by Peacock, goes on to talk about the future of RL and what may need doing.

If anyone needs convincing about Lulia then have a look at Sammut's 1st try vs Salford.

Class centre play, understand he's not hit the form of last year yet but we have no chance of finding as good player as Lulia given the lack of decent centres about.

I hate starting threads so I'm putting this here: www.warringtonwolves.org/bradfor ... ction-6180 As good a place as any.
