It reads more like they deals are further down the tracks than that.

‘Rugby League Live understands they are set to sign centres Iain Thornley and Peter Mata'utia from Wigan Warriors and Warrington Wolves respectively while they have also expressed interest in Huddersfield Giants legend Jermaine McGillvary‘

I'd be happy with McGillivray though I think he could still get a gig in SL and he also plays the same position as Kershaw. I'd rather keep him.

Mata'utia is a good player and a versatile one. And Powell likes him.
I think Thornley is one old guy too far though. I'd rather we tried younger but needs must. If he's the guy then so be it.

Mathew shaw is usually bob on with what he says tbf.

Re: Rumours thread : Sun Sep 24, 2023 12:45 pm  

McGilivray’s is still decent but his problem is staying on the field, he hasn’t managed 20 games for a while now.

Mata’utia will be decent at Championship level and as said his versatility will be handy.

Thornley i’m less sure about. If we are signing Mata’utia i’d rather go with Croft, Pratt & Franco as options.

Now seeing Hampshire junior being talked about in the chip shops and tap rooms of Wakefield.

I would have him back in a heartbeat, he will be devastating in the Championship.

Hope the age of the team starts dropping, When Powell was at Castleford, as soon as a player could not do the job on the field that he wanted Powell would get rid , hope he does that at Wakefield

Those people never stopped talking about him.

I don't doubt he'd be useful but where would he play?

How many games does Max miss a year? How many games are we expecting Gale to play? Hampshire makes sense.

Granted, and Rocky plays best for me at FB. It’s not clear cut.

Yeah Dagger has done well but isn’t he York bound?
