A myth perpetuated by wakey fans who don’t like this signing to make them feel better about it I suspect.

It’s no myth!

Think you may find Rankin goes later in the season when injuries kick in around easter, unless we keep him due to the fact. He's not a bad player, just not worth the money he's on in Woolfords opinion. Same goes for Seb

It`s not a myth.

must one some other players in that he has his eye on and needs salary cap room

If the rumours are correct you're probably right, would be interesting to know who he's got his eye on as a replacement.

The story i've had on ikahifo is that Germ wasn't impressed with his fitness levels and told him if he wanted to stay with him and the club he needed to sort it out, he hasn't done enough so germ stood his ground and told him he was offering him around as he didn't do as asked, it seems a deal can't be done so for now he's staying but unless he bucks up he won't be playing much.

Dunno how much truth there is in it though as i can't say i ever really noticed any fitness problems but i guess that's why the coaches know best.

he does blow up abit in games, but he causes so much havoc in the time hes on the field ! looking forward to seeing him and matagi/taai take it into the oppo

Strong rumours coming out of Cas today that your getting wardle and we’re getting ikahifo. Anyone heard the same ?

Heard Wardle was looking for a way out of Cas where he’s not happy.
Not sure we need him unless he’s willing to shift the weight and switch back to centre as we have a plethora of second row forwards.
I trust that Woolford will do the right thing. He has so far.

Can Seb do a job at centre ?

par for the course at giants sign another sick note couldn't get him on the field at newcastle or castleford

dont want wardle. injury prone (would fit well at giants mind on that score) and left here under bit of a cloud.

how could cas afford ikahihifos wages? they are upto the cap as it is and cant see wardle being on the same pay as him.

He left to try his luck in the NRL, cant blame him for that.

We were the first club his agent contacted when he decided he was coming back but Thewlis offered him absolute peanuts. Hes been desperate to come back to the Giants even last year from what I hear. At least we know he wants to play for the club and having him here should allow us to keep Jake for much longer.
