If Kyle comes to super league all well and good he’s a cracking player ,but for me it’s like the fifita story ,I don’t think they have any intention of coming over it’s just fishing for a contract by their agent .These players are on silly money by our standards ,so good luck to the lad in finding an English club ,but I suspect it just a load of baloney

He’s currently at the worst side in the NRL and can’t get a game. He’s signed to a contract for the next 2 years.

I understand what you are saying but on this occasion I think it’s a genuine opportunity for him.

Apparently the Bulldogs are willing to pay a % of his wages to get him off their cap.

He won`t get another NRL contract at any other club, he would be playing reserve grade, really the only way to save his career for me would be to come over to SL, he could stick it out in reserve grade and potentially get another chance in a few years time but he would have to set the world alight, the likely hood is, he would still find himself there in 5 years time.

Don't know if anyone has seen on the Red, White and Blue army, regarding Luke Gale's fallout at Leeds, and could be coming our way.

Not sure what he's done.

He's better than what we have, but 34 next year, and a couple of bad injuries in recent seasons. Not sure if this would be worth the risk.

Whether any truth or not, who knows.

Thoughts?

Old, slow and injury prone. Right up our street.

Given he apparently wants 150K a year i doubt he is coming here.

Over 30 and injury prone, prime parameters for a Trinity signing, but as you say better than what we have and can certainly run a game, even on one leg.

Thinking about it it could be worth a punt, not at £150k, if for nothing other than to coach our attack.

Personally, I wouldn't, and certainly not at that value.

I would improve the front row and hooking first.

Aye partnering the other sick note Gaskell. May well be a comp between them to see how many games they miss.
