I'm not but i'm sure we'll all hear the "He's got loads of potential" lines from the club. most of our signings have been meh this year but i think we still have Quality through out the Squad and alot of our players are looking in the best shape i've ever seen. I'm full of confidence regardless of what people say, and if Latu hits the potential he's been tagged with in the NRL we could have a big powerful proper enforcer on our hands

Latu had a decent spell at Penrith playing about 50 first team games. His transfer to Gold Coast Titans was pretty disappointing and he played only a handful of games over the past 2 seasons.

Latu is another Penrith player whose career move to the GC has not gone well. Cartwright and Peachey are others that come to mind.

https://www.nrl.com/news/2016/06/12/rd- ... -67th-min/ Nothing wrong with that!! To blame a guy who was out of the team for Gold Coast having a poor couple of seasons is puzzling. He was hot property whilst at Penrith.

Didn't the RFU say they would make an exception with Saracens & still allow the players to be picked for England when they are demoted ? That seems to be a big driving force in Rugby Union.

He was also seen in Grasmere Ave think he may be looking to rent.

It looks a bit like a non-story to me. Reporter sent out to see whether any Saracens players may consider a move to League and so contact a club who have signed a couple of Union players, Prell and Burrell, in recent seasons plus the returning Charnley. What Fitzpatrick said was;

“We’ve still got one spot left on the new talent pool dispensation and should the opportunity present itself, we’d certainly look at it.”

From that comes the headline 'Warrington ready to bring relegated Saracens players to Super League'.

Almost as bad as my wife when it comes to twisting what people (me) have said.

This sounds like it's not going to happen anytime soon, does it?

That would be the house that Paul Sculthorpe owns, previously rented by Kevin Sinfield among others.
