Will wind me up if Wire get Fifita and we’re still stuck with TT.

Fair enough, I thought Wire were going to be getting a Superstar then for a minute.

To be fair Baz, he’s a superb player and is a significant improvement on our pack.

Be careful...that’s signature material

I do agree though. We ought to be looking at props like a Fifita to replace our weak props such as TT.

Time for Tautai to be shipped out for me. He had an upturn in form around the time we played Widnes away but that last about 3 games and he’s back to his usual half interested self.

Doubt anyone would take him on sadly.

To be fair he has been good for Wakefield, but I wouldn't have wanted him before he went there, he was terrible in the NRL. I am not so sure he will be a success at a bigger club. Just a niggling doubt he could go off the rails

Lower SL to mid Championship clubs most likely. I can’t believe we’ve stuck with him for so long. He’s a liability

Barrow kicked up a fuss saying we contacted their prop without us contacting them first.
Has this developed into anything or just gone quiet?

Michael Carter and Molly have confirmed on Twitter it’s a load of crap about Fifita, a Warrington troll started the rumour.

This may be radical thinking to some, but why don’t we judge our recruitment for 2019, when we know all the relevant information and facts of our completed 2019 squad, in, well 2019.

A couple of big name signings by others (although to be honest I’m not impressed by Lolohea) and our recruitment is being called useless, before we even split the 2018 league.

I’m not for one second saying our 2019 recruitment is fantastic nor am I saying it is useless as we just don’t know.

We have a rumours thread as a sticky, I’m somewhat confused as to why we even have this thread.

The only 'top' NRL player that is coming to SL next year is Austin, and even he has been out of favour this season even if he did have a great game last week.

Sounds like Hardaker has screwed up before he’s even played a game......
