We can more than match it. We can out bid any aussie team...twice!

Austin suggesting there will be an announcement this week https://www.nrl.com/news/2018/07/08/bla ... a-raiders/ Doesn’t say who, but seems unlikely it will be with the Raiders, Eels, us and Saints mentioned.

And Leeds. But at £335k a year I doubt we would pay that unless Ryan Hall moves on and we have some spare cap towards his salary.

I would expect a late improvement of the offer from Parra after yesterday’s game but I guess we’ll see. I think we are just being used again. Can live in hope though. I don’t think he offers us as much of a half backs game as Roberts *should* have done, but would still be an asset considering the small pickings available...

Moley saying it's a "done deal"
Austin to Wire.

Done deal. Announcement tomorrow/Tuesday.

Fantastic signing. Top class player.

I did tell you lot the other day on the Eastmond thread but got shot down and one of your lot had never even heard of him. You have got a class player. Man of Steel in 2019

Please don’t show us a video montage of his performances, as not really worked out as that.

Or maybe they were taking the Mick out of you as there was already two pages of posts under the Roberts thread about Austin by the time you broke the news to us?

Lol

Honest Mozzas Bookies here. Place your bet, on

Odds on him turning up injured and having no pre-season
Odds on him listing surfing as a hobby then wondering where the beaches are
Odds on someone saying he'll be fine when the pitches firm up
Odds on someone saying it takes a while to settle in, beyond round 20

I'm not even entertaining bets on him being onto his agent the first time he sees the Wakefield away dressing room and telling him to get the airport taxi running.

In all fairness though ,Morrissey, the Roberts clan could still be traumatised from encountering the Beast from the East.

That's no way to talk about Big Sarah from Orford

Does Blake Austin have a family? Might actually work in our favour if he has no baggage, so to speak. Did I imagine it, or did someone say he’s got English parents and has been to the UK before?
