Moley has scooped its Gold Coast Titans that have signed him.
Media is saying Patrick Herburt is on his way to Catalan,
I’ve also heard elsewhere that Wire want the Gold Coast centre in an exchange…he is still out for another 2 months while recovering from an ACL repair last autumn.
No other details.

Scooped? I told you all about Mikaele two days ago thanks

Shame as looked a different player this season

We all heard the rumours, but I said Moley has just scooped the club he’s signed for, not that he’s leaving Wire! I was told last Friday night about the rumour his wife was homesick and wants to go back home.

“We all heard the rumours “…I hadn’t and I’m amazed you didn’t post it (later than your prediction posts Duckie!).

I didn’t post ewt because others already had.

FFS

Cynically speaking, is this why his form is so much better in 2023 knowing his family are homesick so plays out of his skin to get a decent contract in the NRL, I hope I am wrong, but its very suspicious.

i'm just hoping this means not finding him 3 more wives i heard he had a multiplier wife contract.

Gutted to be losing Mikaele, as he has been excellent this season. But looking on the bright side, if we do manage to bring in a centre - be it Patrick Herbert or someone else - we might end up with a more balanced squad in the longer-term as a result. A second row would be better still. I would feel happier about it if we didn't keep getting our props injured, though!

FFS! I hope this doesn't upset the apple cart too much.... just when we start looking like a really good, balanced team! Not happy.

In preseason my reaction would be pfftt!! I wasn't previously impressed with him, but he's started really well much better than I'd have thought.

I agree with others a 'swap' for a decent Centre or Second Row works for me as we'll be better balanced IMO

He's been great this season but lets face it, he was always going to go back home sometime and with the abundance of props we currently have, I don't think it's going to be that much of an issue.

Vaughan, Dudson, Kasiano, Harrison, Bullock, McGuire and Philbin is still a monster pack. I'd like us to put the free cap space into signing a centre and if we do I think we will have a really exciting team.

BIG mistake letting him go straight away. We've got Bullock and Harrison still out injured with no time given (that i know of) for Harrison. So we'll be 3 props down so doesn't make sense. If we said yes you can go in 3-4 weeks that would be better. Disappointed to see him go but if his family want to go home it's a hard place to be in.
I hope we don't bring this Herbert in as with him being 2 months away from recovery from his ACL injury it makes no sense, especially with Wrench back soon. Hopefully he is off to Catalans like rumoured.
Only positive with Mikaele going is the cap space and quota spot, but i hope he's here for the next 2-3 games at least.

We have Vaughan, Dudson, Kasiano, Philbin, McGuire and Thomas all available currently to play front row. How many props do you want?

Well Kasiano won’t be playing this week.

This has put a downer on the start to the season!!!

Mikaele will be though.

And there was me wondering if we had too many props!

McGuire isn't back this week, I'd rather have Mikaele until Bullock and Harrison are back. Like i literally said in my post.

So we have a few queries this week with fitness of Clark & Drinkwater an issue. No Kasiano. Bugger.

Well you can't have that. He agreed to stay until McGuire is back and Saturday will be his last game unfortunately. I think it's a pretty big loss unless we sign a strong running second row to replace him. We'll miss him crashing onto balls 20 yards out which has become a very good weapon to have.

Shame he has to go at all, but if he does we should have insisted he stayed at least until end of April given current injuries and run of tough fixtures coming up.

What a shame. I wouldn't have been so bothered if he had left at the end of 2022, but this season he has been really good. Just hope the exit is managed well and doesn't upset the apple cart.
