Regarding King

I do agree in the fact that we have plenty of cover in the back row.

Having said that Kirmo is playing less games these days. Also the other week when it was in League Weekly or whichever, about us bring in the hunt for a half back. Didn't they also state they were looking to retain Arona.

If they are looking to retain him, and the half back is to take up a quota spot, then could we be looking at someone else on the way out.

Another NRL half back has just signed for Warrington, in Blake Austin, could there be a half back on the way out of there too, to make room

I don't have much faith in Nosey Parker, but to be fair he did say it was what he had heard through fan speak. For the record I would certainly welcome Broughy if he signed an affidavit claiming he had mended his ways. Just for a season though.

Blake Austin will be a direct replacement for Tyrone Roberts.
Would rather try and get Dwyer from Leeds.

And put woody at scrum half?

More like Randell to loose and keep them two hooking. Bring in the SH from Catalans and let Arona go. Batch and Ashurst in the back row bringing Pauli, Fifita, Horo off the bench

I also believe Randall is better suited to loose forward, as he doesn't have that zip at acting half.

Sounds like a good option to me, I actually think Randell is a better loose than he is hooker, his first few games he looked the real deal out of dummy half but since he has not looked as sharp as I think you need to be to be effective (Or maybe it`s just because Wood makes him look ordinary when he comes on!). The few times Randell has been switched to 13 during a game he runs strong and tackles well. I like Arona but with him been out of contract I definitely would not be against letting him go in favour of bringing in a pivot.

I liked Dwyer at Warrington, for what ever reason he has not kicked on at Leeds like I thought he would, although he has not had the chance really and lets be honest it would be extremely difficult to look good in that Leeds side this season.

I actually like the thought of that too, would even be happy I think if Randell moved to the halves.

Just been reading some comments on the Warrington forum, and it looks like there is talk of a player swap within their camp. Could be just rumour and hearsay though

I'm not sure I like the sound of that.
We have some players we would not want to lose no matter who came the other way.

No I wouldn't either PT.

Like I say it could well be just hearsay, but some members of the forum have named players.

This could well be just fans saying who they would rather target. The names mentioned are both on our oversras quota, but neither was Arona!

I haven't looked but I imagine Fifita and Miller.
I wouldn't let them go for less than a stadium.

The wire forum says it’s not Miller but someone in the same area so that could mean Cas as much as Wakey. It also says it’s a fans favourite so current club keeping a lid on it. Most of our top players are already signed up so I would be surprised if we would agree to any swaps, especially of a fans favourite

Yes your right with the names! But its fans saying who they would like not the warrington club! Eastern is just putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5 he loves tickle tackle and scare mongering.

All this hearsay and speculation is like pre season all over again, and long may it continue .
Forums like this are made for this kind off gossip and banter and it’s good to get involved in it.
Everyone has their own opinions as to team selection and new recruits plus its takes your mind off that last performance.

nicely put

Had a quick read of the topic myself and the poster seems well respected and a good source of info.
However it could all be a load of crap and I don't usually get involved in such speculation.


However just for this once, if you check what he says he rules out Miller. He also confirms its for next season
and he doesn't differentiate between Cas and us as the club involved. They seem to be after an half so to me that rules us out totally.

However if you read other parts of the thread there are clues to who it could possibly be if they are looking at Wakey players
There are two players that spring to mind and if it were either I would be totally gutted.

Try telling that to our chairman when he's trying to sell season tickets! And someone pops up on here saying were selling our best players! That realy would help sales.

They've just signed Blake Austin so most likely Tupou and Fifita.
Like I said I don't want to lose anyone but we cannot let Fifita go for anything. He brings so much to the team.
I guess they might want Finn???

Trust me, I don't like tickle tackle and scare mongering Cheshirecat.

I purely went on their board to see off there was any talk on George King, when I saw it.

I am with PT on this and certainly wouldn't be interested if there was a swap deal regarding this, I did say in my original comment that it could be hearsay. I'm sure there is local newspapers in Warrington that comment on rugby and transfer news, so I'm sure Warrington fans are more in the know regarding their club than what we are.

Even it was the truth, and if they were the players on mind, they are contracted to us, and would demand a fee, and would imagine a healthy one at that.

Also if it's a swap deal, and wasn't mentioned in the rugby press, is that not lazy journalism

If they want Finn, I will drive him over there myself



I think MC has proved and given us every confidence in the last few seasons that we are no longer a selling club for the sake of selling. He has gone on record stating we have turned down big money for Kirmond and Johnstone and we have knocked back Wires approach for Miller - I have every confidence that MC has the best interest for the club at heart and trust him to make the right decisions!

I’d workout what Wires quota spots look like after one of the comments I’ve seen on there.

Another comment I’ve seen is “Fifita for King seems like a fair swap to me” I think the same poster also admitted to taking drugs just minutes before his comment. Lol

If we lose one player this season it will be Arona, Fifita and Tupou will stay I think.

So your not interested in tickle tackle? What about all you hear in the chippy and then cant wait to come on here spouting off!

then again we don't know what the position the club is in and how best to benefit from a sale of a player if any, what we have here, its given the club stability by not selling our best players, had this season given better results on the closer games then maybe we wouldn't be talking about in comings and outgoings

I think Eastern gets a bit of a raw deal on here at times, he does love a good rumour though there is no doubt about that



Out of interest where is your local Chippy Eastern?

One thing I will say before hitting the hay, I will be very disappointed if it is Fifita for King, imagine the Warrington pack with Dave and BMM!

No interaction from Fifita on social media today, unusual!

Anyway, quick shoutout to Homme Vaste for earning the Cheeky Half Back title on here, admin showing you some recognition there.

Night lads.
