The Livett rumour has been quashed by the club, according to Matt Turner from the WG.

Well that’s my Christmas sorted

It seems like it is a moot point based on the Turner tweet.

But sometimes you just need a basic white t-shirt, not a new tuxedo. If we brought in Livett to add to our depth, we could do a lot worse than someone who is from and lives in the town and knows the club.

Seen that. Strange how Livett's dad is still going around telling people he's signing. Bizarre.

I wonder if, say, Wigan would sign him on that basis if he was from Wigan and lived in Wigan?

Also isn't our 'strawberry blonde' quota full?

So your saying I'm still within a shout of getting a game for us

Russell has arrived and was in training today. We'll have to wait and see whether he warrants the quota place he's got. I really hope he does. Maybe Burgess and his coaching team have seen something in his game that will work really well in the British game.

I'm glad you raised that example because yes they would. They signed Ryan Hampshire and he played about 12 games in 2023 and 2024. Not a standout signing but someone who clearly did a job for a few games, fit in easily because he was there previously, and all without breaking the bank.

They also did the same with Iain Thornley. Easy to forget what other clubs do.

Yeah, there's a fair few players who have done really well over here, that couldn't get games in the NRL. So i'm hoping he'll be well suited to our game, we'll have 2 big tall second rowers causing havoc on the edges hopefully
