Yup, we are lucky enough to be the one club who can afford to match the Aussies on the money front, shame we can’t offer the lifestyle but players shouldn’t be naive enough to not see that. I get the feeling he’s coming here under different circumstances to Roberts though, which was a last minute thing for Roberts’ family to suddenly have to deal with.

Let’s hope he can make a difference, and let’s find him a decent half-back partner to guide us around the pitch.

Blake Austin spoke a few years ago about how hard it was to move to Canberra due to the distance from his family.

It's a great signing, not only for Wire, but for Super League as well. Wire should do what Saints have done with Barba, insist any immediate family come over (Early) and get settled in and pre-book three or four trips to the Canaries whenever there is a blank weekend in the calendar so they don't get too cold/depressed.

I say, Saddened ,will Saints sign me ? I am always available for 3 or 4 trips to Lanzarote.

Any problems and we could send him to montego bay at maxi-mum speed.

He has a partner but no kids. That will help big time, in the likelihood of him staying not bailing out.

He's got 4 children with his partner I believe (had his 4th this year)

Perhaps time to start building a surf shack a Bridge Foot.

Grandmother is English

Well, they get the chance to benefit from Warrington’s Ivy League standard educational facilities. Chris Evans went to school here you know? He’s like TV Royalty. He’s not on TV anymore, like.

Isn’t Preston Brook the headquarters of Pirahna Surfboards? God knows how they ended up there, Runcorn doesn’t have a particularly big surfing culture.

Yeah he’s a Five-eighth so I can see us signing a scrum half n’all

I love Simon Moran

What a great signing. It's even got a stamp of approval on the redvee site. Looking good for next season with the arrival of Clark as well.

Not seen anything of him but will keep
watch over the next few weeks.
Sounds like a Shaun long type of player or am
I way off with that??

Austin added: “I’m really excited to be joining the Warrington Wolves. No-one I’ve spoken to has had a bad word to say about the club.


FFS SOMEBODY KEEP TYRONE BUSY TODAY AND HIS PHONE IN HIS LOCKER

Way off.

He's big, quick, powerful and has a step. But he's a running 5/8th, a bit of a ball hogg.

Was in great form in 2016 and was unlucky to miss out on origin selection.

Incidentally, I think Blake Austin said exactly that in the press conference.

Thanks for the info. I can't think of that
Type of player in recent times. Maybe Leon
price on a good day and no glass around

Interestingly, he showed exactly this promise as a kid. Look at this video from 2001 when he won his parents a car in a National competition... they sold the car to buy a house away from the social housing projects: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_ ... uk%2F&_rdr

He’s also a big Parra fan so he likes the blue and yellow shirt combo a lot...

Lol. Classic.
