His avatar is a strong clue as to which side.of city he's referring to. May well be one of the four players Joey suggested in the podcast will be named probably by 1 September.

1. There are no Avatars when viewing on an Android phone.

2. Grima states them players are all from the Championship.

Vave would be awesome.

If he is signed and if the club signs another good quality forward, then the 2015 squad --- with Waisele Naiqama, William Barthau , Richard Mathers and perhaps even Jean Phillipe Baile --- will be much stronger than the current squad.

My question then is, why did the owner led the club decline in 2014 so that it was certain to be relegated? Was it a problem of the owner's "cash flow?" Or was it uncertainty on his part as to whether he wanted to continue?

If the club could have stayed up it would have been much better, and perhaps Kieran Dixon and Matthew Cook could have been retained. It is still going to be tough next year, but a couple of forwards of the Vave quality will certainly make the club a real force in the Championship and hopefully be a real chance for promotion back to Super League.
