ikahihifo in pre season training at mo

we dont want to be losing him, we need some size in our forwards!!!

leeds after merrin anyway from oz.

as for mamo.. strange one sometimes he brilliant and sometimes awful and hardly plays due to injury so if he is to stay it will have to be on heavily reduced terms

Merrin is staying in Australia unfortunately.

Now my source is saying that Mamo isnt staying. Usually reliable.

I for one hope he moves on!

Re: 2019 Squad : Wed Nov 07, 2018 11:10 pm  

Not sure where he would play if he did, not first choice at FB, wing or centre, and you don't want a quota spot used just for cover. I feel with the right guidance he could be a great player, and it sure looked like it would be that way for a start. He's another confidence player who's up and down and probably not worth the risk, which is why the NRL gave up on him.

Rumours Warrington are after him to replace mitch brown, so he'd probably end up as a back up there too.

Re: 2019 Squad : Thu Nov 08, 2018 5:10 pm  

Any one heard of any more players joining?

Re: 2019 Squad : Thu Nov 08, 2018 5:20 pm  

yeh warrington maybe after mamo, on balance i was happy enough he was leaving anyway at the end of last season.

pre season is going to be interesting to see who they play at full back maybe mcintosh and centre maybe wardle ahead of turner and to see who kicks the goals and to see how the half backs work!! fear another slow start for the giants but will see

Stop spouting the party line. He was offered peanuts ( yes it was more than anyone else his age at the club but 20 peanuts is not much more than 10 peanuts).

Our chief exec thought we could keep him on the cheap and that if anyone tried to sign him they would be put off with the compensation fee.

It all backfired when Hull knew how to get a round it so they could offer him more and have to pay no compensation.

Connor wanted to get out of the deal but could not and the only way we could get him back was to pay Hull money to re sign our own player.

Gross incompetence by the club.

Party line? i've no more further interest in your club as i have for any, just putting what i was told, no win or loss to me personally or professionally.
For what it's worth i agree it seems there's been a mistake made somewhere.

Joe Wardle apparently not enjoying himself at Cas and is desperate to come back.

I would take Wardle back

I'd drive him back to you! Never known a player go off injured so often. We have an abundance of back rowers and I don't think he's that impressive at centre.

His brother looks a player though !
