I’ve only ever seen Josh Ralph play for Wales. With not great players around him he’s always looked pretty good but obviously he is very unproven at this level.

Might be some truth in the Levi rumours as being reported in Australia now as well. In the absence of available quality in the halves adding genuine quality in a spine position probably good business. Talk of Lussick moving back to NRL so if this deal doesn't happen to Leeds don't rule out Saints!

Saints signing Daryl Clark

Oh Christ, a Hetherington email.
It doesn't really say anything other than "just trust us"...
I wonder if they're trying to get ahead of a story - like Austin announcing he's leaving.

Interesting update email from uncle gary this morning.

He’s basically saying stop listening to clickbait rumours online!

Could be yes, that and the recent daft rumours like Tyrone Roberts.

I think to get ahead of Austin announcing he is leaving and/or because he plans on upping season ticket prices soon.

I think it's trying to get ahead of the press on departures of Austin, Sezer + some others without having plans for signings publicised. Something must be coming as the timing is very odd if not.

Yeah, somethings coming hes trying to get ahead of.

Due to the dearth of halfbacks in the NRL could be both Austin & Sezer on the outer at end of the season.

The sleeve certainly has his work cut-out this year.

He's certainly going to have to get cracking if he hasn't got signatures already sorted. The truth is that at start of season it was obvious it would be a big year for recruitment in an already crowded market. Plans must surely have been in place for sometime. Let's hope so.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Wed Jul 12, 2023 12:50 pm  

Yeah agreed.

The end of this year was always going to be huge in terms of signings we want/ need. The Spine especially.

If we come away with bargin bin or the "we didn't think they would leave" type things again it will be deeply frustrating.

I hope he has a plan for 1,6&7 that isn't just Myler/CJ/Smith/Sinfield
