Some bloke in the letters page of the WG claims that the Hiku deal is all but signed. Make of that what you will.

Fair few rumours linking Simms to Cas for the rest of the season before joining Toronto next season, anyone heard Anything? I've always thought he was a bit of a show pony who talks a good game but in theory is pretty average out there in the middle , is that a fair assessment of him?

If that's true he must feel like he's won the lottery

Joe Wardle signed for next year apparently.

Wardle is okay, above average, but so was Rhys Evans a few years ago. Can't see what he offers unless a different coach can get the best out of him.

Hiku is very good at finishing moves on the wing. So I guess he'll be a bit of a failure here these days. I've not seen him scoot for an entire match though. Not because he can't, but because his coaches have employed other tactics to get their teams from one end of the field to the other. Could be brilliant at scooting for all I know.

If the rumours are true I'm sure we will find out !!!

He hasn't. It's not true.

Will these rumoured signings have a get out clause i wonder ?

I like Wardle, I'd be happy with that signing. I don't trust the current coaching regime with any prospective new signings though.

Signing a full back...means Ratchford to stand off ? or centre? or prop? or do we play Hiku at centre or wing or second row or hooker...or Rochdale?

Supporters in Aus seem sad to see him go.

Very different from the verdicts on this board.
