Re: Ryan Hall : Mon Nov 16, 2020 6:33 pm  
Ryan Hall played all his career on the wing. WBW on the wing, multiple final winger on the wing, all his RL experience on the wing, preferred position - wing.
So where will he play?

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Mon Nov 16, 2020 11:47 pm  
Got an update from my source. The hunt is very much on and approach’s have been made to Sims and Fifita. Both are keen to come over but for the right price, Warrington and Wigan are also hunting for props. Warrington have entered Ed the race for Thompson as he is looking to come back. But a surprising one is that we have begun trying get Joe Ofahengue! He has fallen way down the pecking order at the Broncos and wants out, would be marquee for us. Just hunting at the minute nothing official. Lui has also been told trim down.

Surely Warrington can't have much cap space left?

Ofahengaue would be very good signing only 25 and very big player, can play prop and can also fill in at Loose forward as well, however i don't think he'd warrant being a marquee signing when he first burst onto the Scene for Brisbane with Tevita Pangai Brisbane looked like they could have 2 of best forwards in NRL but both have declined in last couple of years just like Brisbane have as a club. Out of Sims, Fifita, Thompson and Ofahengue which are we closest to getting over the line if any do you know?

I agree, but Ofahengue’s wages would still be marquee for a super league club.
No idea who we are closer to get, the longest talks have been with Fifita, also Warrington are sheading some cap. So they will ‘make’ room if they need to!

Not true, I know how the rumour started regarding Thompson coming back to the U.K. it was a spoof.

Moley reporting this morning that he has checked out the rumour on Luke Thompson and it is wrong, he is committed to the club, but enquires have been made by other Clubs. So our chase was never coming to anything really.

Kevin walters has publicly stated that Ofahengue is staying, st george have been chasing him so doubt he will come to superleague when NRL teams are after him and he has played origin recently.
Sims is the only realistic chance. Fifita is one of the highest payed props in the NRL if not the highest and his deal has a couple of years to go. Why would he leave to come to covid swept england.

Fifita on 850k Australia dollars contracted till 2022. Great player when fit but dodgy knee and can't train properly. Sharks would love to move him on to free up salary cap but if he is looking for equivalent money here no way we should be paying 450k sterling a year for an 75% fit player. We already have a 75% fit stand off!

Fifita's brother is here, and he may not think his body can handle the NRL anymore. I do agree though, the UK isn't exactly an appealing place to come at the moment.
