wardle for ikahihifo in a straight swap would be a joke of a deal, we ofcourse would be wanting cas to pay more for ikahihifo but being the giants and deals in the past we will prob mess this one up too

ross would prob be a good signing, seems to be a fans fave at newcastle, cudjoe is injured to that leaves us short in the centres... we would just drop straight down to the youngsters who cant play week in week out...its too much for them at this stage of their careers.

agree with other poster about us being light in the pack, was already a worrying sign last season when we didnt have seb in the pack, we were just too small ! but thats the way woolford seems to want to go so will see if he gets it right

I was really hoping to see Ikahihifo sign for Leeds but we can`t offload enough players to take him on it seems.
However it looks like some of the Aussie coaches are going for mobility and graft over power and size this year.
Could be something to do with the number of subs we can use.
Time will tell if that`s correct.

can't understand giants signing someone else s sick note in joe wardle two coaches couldn't get him on the park have enough at the giants with sick notes alot couldn't wait to get shut of mamo but he played as many matches as fergie

Hard to compare Fergie and Mamo, Mamo was probably on 3 times the salary and not seen as a first choice player

mamo was a match winner fergie wasn't
can't understand the obsession with signing wardle who isn't a wingers centre he can't pass the ball and gets white line fever or did when he was with us we will have two world class wingers and wardle isn't the answer

Will say this for the last time. If we get Wardle back he will be playing in the 2nd row not centres.

From an outsider looking in, whatever your coach did on arrival last season worked, he has had the chance to look at players and obviously is not keen, for whatever reason, on some who may have been well liked by fans. He seems to know what he wants and it may be more about player attitude, coachability etc etc rather than just ability. If he carries on getting the improvement out of your squad that he got last season I think you will be in for a strong season. Coach will have a full pre season with the players and obviously trusts the crop of excellent young players you have.

I'd be worried signing Wardle to play centre.

He's categorically told Cas he doesn't want to play there.


I am glad Jon Wells is at the club now so we are actually negotiating a swap deal. Baring in mind we paid a fee for Wardle. I'd be surprised if we agree to pay extra on top for Seb.

Straight swap would be an awesome deal on our part.

Ikahihifo will be at the HGSA Reindeer Race tonight. I'll let you know which clubs gear he is wearing!

Well some on the Cas forum saying giants players have told them the deal is already done and Seb is going to Cas with Wardle coming the other way.
Perhaps you can get a definitive answer tonight from the player himself about whether he’s staying or going.

If this is to make room for Ross that’s all well and good- but for all Seb had a very poor season in 2018 our forward pack looks lacking.....

Mamo had the potential to be a match winner, but more often was a match loser with his inability to tackle or catch a high ball

looks like rankin will be the only one to stay from these 3!

rankin to cas

joe wardle to giants

ikahihifo the only one left now!

Now official, Rankin and Wardle swap. Whats the thoughts of you guys on the deal?

Great move hated rankin but always been a fan of joe even if he isn’t as good as he used to be
