Probably be announced tomorrow morning?

The club will tweet the 6:00am alarm thing again at some point this week anyway.

Totally agree and cannot see where he will fit in.
Gale for me is better than Austin and so is Myler.
Waste of money in a position we don`t need.

He put more good quality kicks in tonight than anything we did. I don’t think he’s a abs signing for us actually; Sezer is the big piece of the puzzle though.

Certainly not Austin's best game. But just to put it into perspective I suspect he made more line breaks than any other half on the field and scored a try, which is not uncommon for him because is strike rate for Warrington is close to one a match. Also, he can really put his foot through a ball. Kicks it long and accurately. He'll be fine if folk give him a chance.

I actually think Austin would be great in our team, and I could definitely see him being first choice full back next season, he would give us the running threat that we currently lack from our pivots.

Think we need a bit of perspective regarding the potential signing of Austin. Everyone on here knows we needed a half. Now we are complaining about signing two! We have Sezer and Gale and if we can fit Austin in under the cap I can actually see him covering the Liam Sutcliffe role ( don't laugh).
He can cover 6 and 1 with more pace and threat and a kicking option plus come off the bench when defences are tiring and also potentially play centre or even 13 when Leeds are on top.
Also if we lost either half we are back to Sutcliffe in the same role. On balance if its a straight swap between Konnie and Austin then it makes sense in that we have a much more balanced squad able to cope with injuries when they hit.I know he's not Cooper Cronk but there's not much out there at the moment and I think in the short term the move works for all parties which is why its only a one year deal.

Spot on!
But I do think Gale is playing for his place at the moment…
