I'm assuming an announcement from the club this afternoon when he gets here.

Maybe we don’t know about it yet Steve

Ligi Sao is named on the bench for NZ Warriors on Friday. Good to see what he looks like

and we still won the Premiership afterwards. He gave us a couple of great years. I'm sure you have never left a job.

Has to be a Radio Humberside sports talk breaking news
Dont understand the silence from the club on this one when the player is photographed at the airport and the comments from his agent.
Just hope he is included in the team for Sunday

I reckon James Clark is picking him up from the airport filming a cloak and dagger video like Rovers did with Willie Mason.

That went well.

The club just announced Green as going out on loan to Wakey for the rest of the season. With Paea injured for sunday we are going to need props!

Re: Recruitment 2020 : Tue Aug 06, 2019 3:04 pm  

Chris Green now reported on the club's website to be joining Wakefield for the rest of the season on loan. I presume that now clears the way (and salary cap) to announce Satae?

never left a job part way through a project, and certainly never left an employer potentially bankrupt.

Hope Satae is worth it for this season, 3 players released for him to sign.

Leaves us a bit light, quality over quantity hopefully
