Would love Konrad Hurrell at centre from Tonga!

Doubt he'd leave New Zealand warriors for super league.

He probably would have played for New Zealand in the World Cup if his residency had come through in time.

When Tonga played their previous game, the commentary said NZ tried to call him up but he refused to play as he wanted to play for Tonga

the only way blake Ferguson would come to superleague is if the NRL block any registration even then i am sure will be off to play union.

Logan must be absolutely hopeless in that case. You're not related to McShane by any chance, are you?

You don't rate him then?

I would literally soil myself if we signed Blake Furguson, he would be by far the best centre in the competition.

Sadly like the Hardaker rumour I doubt anything will come of it.

Regarding Zak

I work with a guy that coaches at Fev Lions and knows Zak very well

Neither he nor I fully know what will happen regarding his recent indiscretions and not only in the England camp but also during the past 12 months at the Rhinos, but he did say that 3 SL clubs were willing to buy out his Rhinos contract

I was told at the start of the 2013 season that he was warned about his off field antics and how he could regularly be seen at the Xscape and with a bottle of the cold stuff in his hands throughout the week too

Zak is a tremendous young player without a doubt and one who could eventually become a great of our game if he fulfills his potential, Sadly he will have to make some huge sacrifices to his lifestyle if he wishes to stay at the Rhinos if what i have heard is correct

There's no smoke without fire and there's definately some truth in all these rumors regardless of what Leeds or England say publicly

I'm still not sure if Zak will be with us come the 2014 season with these offers on the table

I have recently heard rumblings of Blake Ferguson having signed for us to cover our wing position, any truth in this?
As far as i was aware, i thought he had dropped rugby and had began pursuing a boxing career?
However if this is the case and we have signed Ferguson, that would be a huge acquisition, certainly filling the wing spot adequately, maybe even kicking?
Although it would come at a risk with his apparent attitude...

No

I would think we would stay clear of players with off field problems,as we have fired ones in the past(and quality ones at that),but we did sign Powell so you never know.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Tue Nov 12, 2013 3:42 pm  

Hardaker would be a quality addition to the squad and I'm confident that IFL and SW would handle his off field antics well as they have in the past.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Tue Nov 12, 2013 5:00 pm  

He's got Hull written all over him

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Tue Nov 12, 2013 5:12 pm  

Seriously 3 clubs willing to pay...Wigan, Wire and Salford I would imagine, Hull strike me as big payers but a little tight on the transfers.
I couldn't see Wire going for him now, Salford would definitely be in the market for quality players and Bowen is a stop gap to a player like Hardacker.

So if he was for sale, two horse race Wigan and Salford, now if I wasn't brought up to hate every fibre of anything Ashton and beyond it would be a no brainer.
