How long has Reardon been out injured? I wonder whether Wire used the same clause to terminate his contract as we did with Tupou (I believe it is a standard clause in all SL players contracts).

Which then makes me think - why sign an injury prone player when we have just got rid of one? Unless it's to fill the home-grown quota.

Could very well be. I'm happy that he's got some sort of contract and equally happy that it's not with us.

Shame really, because he was a good player for us at one point.

May depend on whether he is, er, available, for more games for them this year than he was for Wire last year...?

Very true, although that would be part of the contract he's signed, I'd imagine

only signed to the end of the season, and id imagine if he goes to prison the contract will be void

sitll very surprised by this signing though

Tom Briscoe got injured yesterday with what looked like ankle ligaments, and with Todd Byrne out for the season and Motu Tony and Raynor still weeks away we are very light in the backs.

You've not been reading the press reports. The prosecution brought no evidence for the charge of violent entry. In the RL press report just after the pleas of guilty were made it stated that Reardon fooled his wife into opening the door to him by saying his son was in hospital and then pushed past her, with Pryce following him in. There was no violent entry, no kicking down the door.
