To me that is obvious, it would have looked so good live and would have made the wider media too.

apparently enquired about swift at st helens too...another winger

could jerry be off, hope not, but we had all that after the world cup too!

Wonder what the obsession with wingers is, We need to be thinking about Forwards , Big forwards, aggressive forwards, any forwards that can knock the opposition back.

Swift would add absolutely nothing to our side. Really not the sort of signing we need.

We need forwards now. (Providing we have secured Uate and Hastings) although, ive heard Hastings is now going to South Sydney now they have released Robbie Farah,

Totalrl.com now join the list of media confirming that Uate has joined the Giants.

Still nothing from the club....

If we’re looking for a half on the cheap, Jayden Nikorima is currently at Redcliffe after getting sacked from the Roosters. He’s far too good for that level.

He seems to have a few personal problems, might go okay when put in a new environment?

We are a club who has space on the salary cap. We will be linked with anyone who is offered.

NO to Swift, & Jerry's going nowhere.

Club, coach, & players want him to stay. Agent in talks with club.

Amazing what you learn when you listen to what the coach has to say!

No he hasn't - but that isn't to say he isn't!

Can you share what else was said?

Well, the man himself has said in the Aussie media that he’s signed for a Superleague club.

If it’s not us, presumably it’s someone else.

He's playing at centre for Fiji this morning on sky if anyone wants to see what we may or may not be signing...

He's just gone off injured, looks like a hammy, he'll do nicely

not surprised he wants to stay ! big house and big wedge.

but a total pro and will be good for the younger lads

will prob get another deal but cant be anywhere near what he has been on

sounds about right!

How much is he on brearley?

be on over 100k a year and one of the highest paid players at the club no doubt with the cv he had coming over

lovely house too!

So you dont actually know then.

That house you speak of is probably one of the many made available to rent organised by the club- as they do for many of our players. Big deal.

Uate is a luxury.

A prop is a necessity.

Hastings would take us up a level and is more important than than the above

doesnt take einstein to know he will be on over 100k and one of the top paid players at the club.

yep will no doubt be rented out

I can't see why we have offered such a lot to tempt Uate to be honest. All the reports talk of the 'lucrative super league deal'. I agree that he's a luxury player the kind you sign when you have a great side and are looking for the icing to turn you into trophy winners, we are a long long way from that. That being said, he's undoubtedly a good player , just i would much rather it been spent on up and coming quality forwards or halfbacks as that is where we really lack.

With Woolford confirming Bruno and Taai are props going forward as well as Murphy to 2nd row permanently, I think that rules out us signing another prop.

Props next season: Seb, Taai, English, Clough, Bruno, Dickinson, Walne, Kirby & you could also count Smith & Colton Roche - that's quite a lot!

Wouldn't be surprised mind due to see both Roche and Walne move on straight away. Obviously hasn't worked out for them here - especially Walne who has been fit for some time and just cant make the team.

Colton Roche is 25 so hes past the stage of been a project player to me and didn't even get much chance while we were really low on numbers. Mellor the prime example who joined us at the age of 21 I believe who joined us as a project and is now a very good SL player and is relishing since playing 2nd row consistently.

Loose next season: Hinchliffe & Smith

2nd row next season: Mellor, Roberts, Ferguson, Murphy & Hewitt....

suggests to me if we are to recruit further it will probably be in the 2nd row.

If you think of Uate like another Gerry then you have 200m+ per game between them that your forwards don’t have to make, two players who will make line breaks and score tries, and makes for good watching too, it would be a good signing/plan in my opinion if he does come to us.

We needed to make a statement and this is what this signing is signifying our intention to improve and challenge the top 4 and challenge cup again. If we were also to get Hastings plus maybe a big nasty horrible Luke O’Donnell style pack leader the crowds would increase and Sky become interested in us again.
