He was in a coma in August and had major life saving surgery so I don't think he's joining anybody any time soon.

I believe he’s 100% fit and recovered.

His surgery was life saving true but it wasn’t major in the medical sense. It was also an induced coma if I recall which is not the same.

People are put into induced comas for all kinds of reasons but I suspect in this case it was to allow his body to relax before surgery.

I’m not diminishing his injury but from what I understand it one of those if it goes right a 100% recovery one, which is great.

Can’t see any reason why he isn’t fit to play now. I’ll look through Google, see what’s been said.

All the same I don’t think the deal is a goer anymore.

He was but not to us, he is joining Warrington from 2022.

Magoulias saying today Trinity were the other serious option for him after we came in with a strong bid.

Think he would have been a good signing for us, his style would suit the way we play.

He also said the major draw was working with Powell…he will soon regret that decision! He may get results but not many of his players enjoy working with him.

Yes it’s a shame isn’t it. Think he’d of been a good fit at 13 for us. It’ll be interesting to see who else pops up who’ll we’ll be interested in and if we were ever interested in Kane Evans.

I suppose the plus side there is we clearly have some cash to splash on a quota player. MC one hell of a poker player



I wonder whether his recent comments regarding costs of quota players were linked to this lad. Perhaps he asked for extras we wouldn't pay and Warrington would. The Powell bit certainly doesn't ring true, I seriously doubt his name is a drawcard to most Aussies.

I guess it is the same for Langi who didn’t join us because Chester was no longer the coach. I wonder how many believe that to be the case but the bottom line is that neither have which is very disappointing.

Well not quite.

I agree, Langi was disappointing because he had agreed, this bloke never signed anything so that's just how it goes. Why the need to make it a bigger deal than it is?

Big unit, I recall seeing him playing early on in his career and looking like a bit of a beanpole, obviously has filled out. I know the link is outdated somewhat but with only 37 games at 28 years of age, you have to ask why?

Any forward from Widnes would add no “grunt” whatsoever.

Because he’s rubbish.
