You can always half any and knock some more off any figure quoted anywhere in Australia.

He'll be well paid but obviously nowhere near that level and he comes with a reputation that means he should be worth a good wage.

Hopefully from our point of view we'll sign King, Griffin and a halfback or hooker but the quality has to be right or else theres little point. We may aswell give more of our youngsters a chance then bring in sub standard NRL players.

I've only got that off the forums, Waterhouse doesn't want to leave the Panthers but SC means they can't keep him, he's wanted at the Knights but he says he just couldn't line up against the Panthers so if he must go it's to SL

King and Anderson are the rumours going round, King is looking for an Aus club but there doesn't seem to be much interest so another SL club may come in for him, whereas strong rumours linking Anderson to Catalans, i've read on the Oz forums that Waterhouse is looking for £400k

Christ almighty; its bad enough idiots from Wigan quoting such stupid figures let alone a Warrington fan doing it.

That figure would be for the whole of his three year contract.

You do realise because he said it, that it's now true? So basically a quarter of the cap on one player.

I did say i lifted it off a forum, i didn't pull it out of thin air or make it up, chill

Just read on the VT that Sam Moa is ooc at the end of the year?

Forget Griffin, we should be looking into signing this fella. A top player IMO who does not take a backward step.

Having a blinding season (from the games i have seen)

Anyone know if he has been linked anywhere?

Re: Rumours and signings v7 : Wed Jun 08, 2011 9:03 pm  

Think I read on the hull board last week that he'd signed a new 2 year deal to stay with them.

If its 400k over 3 years it isnt too bad (apart from signing a 31 year old for 3 years) but if it were that high for one year I wouldnt touch him in a million years you'd have to ship out a load of younger players to accomodate him and it would be idiotic but 400k over 3 years wouldnt be horrendous considering he wont stay for all 3 anyway so having a guy til hes that old probably wont come into it.

And yes i know Morley is 34 now but hes just a completely different entity. I'd give him a 2 year contract at wigan even now ha.

To be fair i think he wants 400k in Oz not here, but again that's just forum talk.

Just you be careful what you say.....

You don't want Paul Yawn to turn up and give you a ticking off again
