Will say this for the last time. If we get Wardle back he will be playing in the 2nd row not centres.

From an outsider looking in, whatever your coach did on arrival last season worked, he has had the chance to look at players and obviously is not keen, for whatever reason, on some who may have been well liked by fans. He seems to know what he wants and it may be more about player attitude, coachability etc etc rather than just ability. If he carries on getting the improvement out of your squad that he got last season I think you will be in for a strong season. Coach will have a full pre season with the players and obviously trusts the crop of excellent young players you have.

I'd be worried signing Wardle to play centre.

He's categorically told Cas he doesn't want to play there.


I am glad Jon Wells is at the club now so we are actually negotiating a swap deal. Baring in mind we paid a fee for Wardle. I'd be surprised if we agree to pay extra on top for Seb.

Straight swap would be an awesome deal on our part.

Ikahihifo will be at the HGSA Reindeer Race tonight. I'll let you know which clubs gear he is wearing!

Re: mamo , ikahihifo , rankin : Fri Dec 14, 2018 4:52 pm  

Well some on the Cas forum saying giants players have told them the deal is already done and Seb is going to Cas with Wardle coming the other way.
Perhaps you can get a definitive answer tonight from the player himself about whether he’s staying or going.

If this is to make room for Ross that’s all well and good- but for all Seb had a very poor season in 2018 our forward pack looks lacking.....

Mamo had the potential to be a match winner, but more often was a match loser with his inability to tackle or catch a high ball

looks like rankin will be the only one to stay from these 3!

Re: mamo , ikahihifo , rankin : Fri Jan 11, 2019 12:21 pm

Now official, Rankin and Wardle swap. Whats the thoughts of you guys on the deal?

Great move hated rankin but always been a fan of joe even if he isn’t as good as he used to be
