Would anyone else like Wigan to make a move for Dean Collis, I think he looks a very good centre.

Yes, ironically been discussing Collis with friends, would be excellent in a better time like Wigan. Classy centre with lots of experience.

Another outstanding performance from Bowen vs the Sharks. He has pretty been the catalyst for the Cowboys run at the Playoffs.

The media now reporting him as the difference between the Cowboys and their opponents in recent weeks, so I assume those making their minds up about him without actually seeing him will now be over the moon about his potential signature.

This, massively this.

Thank god there are other posters on here who actually watch the NRL and judge players off their performances rather than media press and his age.

I cant say I know much about him, but isn't he the Aussie at Wakefield, I think he still has a further year of a contract.
Knowing Wakefield's financial troubles they may sell, if you think he is up to it Rogues.

He signed an extension in the last couple of months. Can't see it myself but I think he'd be a good buy. Doesn't he play right centre though?

Collis is a real class act. Great defence and ability to put his wingman away, would get far more recognition in a better side.

The problem for us though is he is a right sided specialist centre, if you watch him the way he plays the game has been groomed around playing on the right, and as such as good as he is we should not look at him as our main issue is on the left.

I have watched almost every game of the NRL this year and from rounds 1-12 (Before his injury) he was looking a shadow of his former self, since returning though he has been back to his best. There is no doubt he is good enough for SL, but we will have to manage his game time carefully.

Just imagine him playing alongside Charnley then...

Gelling and Thornley are both starting to look pretty good IMO. I'd stick with letting them fight for the 4 shirt next season. If we sign Bowen then I'm happy going into next season. No idea what we'll do with Sarginson assuming he's signed.

Wakefield board saying we have signed Kyle Amor

Not keen at all. He was average when he was at Wigan, same at Leeds and I don't think he's been great at Wakefield, but if he comes I'll give him a chance.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Mon Sep 02, 2013 7:56 pm  

How many props will we have next year if the Amor rumours is true?
Some must be leaving, question who?
I reckon he'll be in the mix with Flower, Taylor, Crosby, Dudson, Powell, Lauaki, Spencer and Greenwood.
As has been said, not impressed at all but will give the lad a chance.
