rumour not gone away that ikahihifo is swapping with joe wardle....

Hope it does!

if wardle comes he will have to share with fergie's secretory for writing the sick notes out
who played the most matches last season mamo or fergie mamo could be a match winner was worth a punt

mamo couldnt get in the team though

good

It's still ongoing, Woolford would like it to be

apparently ikahihifo has passed his medical at cas and wardle has passed his at the giants

but still negotiating

I should think we are expecting a substantial coming our way in any deal.

Nathan Ross expected to sign for you if talks with Knights fall through.

Ive heard he has agreed terms with us and its just down to the deal were doing with Cas for Ikahihifo/Wardle. Cas want a straight swap but we value Seb higher so want them to take an extra 30k salary or something along them lines.

Nathan Ross is contracted until 2020 with the Knights hes just out of favor.

In regards to Wardle, i hope he is going to play centre again. His career has gone downhill ever since he swapped to second row. In regard to Ross he is always talked of as a winger on his clubs website. Why on earth would be pay top dollar for another winger? I would assume it's to play centre, but that's unneccessary if we are signing wardle, and if we were to sign an aussie centre on a good wage i would hope it would be an out and out centre, who knows the role inside out.

I can tell you now Wardle is being brought in to play centre.

Ross is being brought in for centres. He was played all 3 in his time, FB, Centre & Wing. His most recent position has been on the wing.

Woolford doesnt rate Turner (so I hear) and has dropped behind Jake Wardle in pre season. If we sign Ross, it is expected Ross and Wardle will start in the centres until Cudjoe is fit.

Ross also trains the house down and has great work ethic like Grix so will set a great example for the Seniors and the younger lads.

This isnt done deal though, far from it - all ive just heard from a reestablish source (could be wrong)

We are starting to see the Woolford ethos in a lot of the signings, he definitely prefers grafters who will run their blood to water over flashy players (although Uate remains the only exception to this). I'm all for this to be honest, if you have a team full of players with that ethos you are going to produce the goods week in , week out even when things aren't going to plan.

Really dont see why we would need another winger or if we get wardle. if that deal does go through we will desperately desperately need some more forwards. Already think we are very light in this area this year and only making it worse.
