Have been hoping the Mamo deal would come off since first mentioned. Young with huge potential and has always seemed keen to come. RS rates him highly and willing to sacrifice Wardle to secure him. Just got to trust his judgement.
ATEOTD what other FB is available to us with the same potential? Sure he will demand a good wage but can't blame him for that given that he is coming half way cross the globe - I for one can't wait for this move to be confirmed even if we will have to wait for him to recover from injury. It is a long season with the important games at the tail end (hopefully top 8 games!).
if the Wakeman move comes off too then happy days

warm up game against bradford bulls announced for robbos testamonial if the bulls can sort their finances out in time

so

bradford and warrington will be warm up games

have we scrapped the infirmary cup now? after the way it was treated last season when called off i suspect it has been scrapped

Dwyer would be a great addition and hes OOC end of this season so maybe if he has a good year with us we could persuade him to stay - cant see Wire letting him though, they did this last year or the year before with London then had to pay compensation when they wanted him back because of injuries.

There are a couple of good young hookers in the championship who I would take. Adam O'Brien at Bulls and James Cunningham at London but he moved to London to be with his girlfriend so is unlikely to leave. Hopefully we will sort one before the season starts.

i like brad dwyer, liked him when he was on loan with us a while back and improved since too

Jake Mamo would be one, if not the, best signing this club has made for years. His level of ability is way above anything coming through our system. That's all I will say on the matter!

He's so good.... Yet Nathan brown (and the Newcastle Knights fans) happy to get shut....
So good that most folk had never heard of him until a couple of months ago when he was mentioned as a potential signing. So good that he's been playing in the 9s and Queensland cup rather than a first choice in a team that's been hammered every week.

The best signing for years - I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry....

All my friends from Australia have all said super league is made for him and he will score bags of tries and be a massive hit for us. There was a lot of expectation on him at Newcastle because he was branded the next big thing for them and it just quite hasn't worked out for one reason or another. However at still 22 could well be our full back for the next 10 years or he may end up back in the NRL if he impresses enough after a couple of seasons.

An attacking full back with serious pace is something ive craved for ages so if we get him I cannot wait to see him in the C & G. That said success is not a given and he may well not fit in and may go back home with his tail between his legs.

I don't like paying second rate Aussies large sums of money. That's what I'm unhappy about. We drove Connor away I'd love to know how much more we are paying this guy instead of one of own! We aren't paying him for his experience- he's only 22 and played similar no of games in the top flight as Connor!
Our best season was when we had a bunch of British guys on that field!

Hey Jools, what did you think of Brandon Costin?

Don't remember what I thought at the time- Would I be happy if we signed him now? Probably not. The Giants have moved on.
