Well if he's from NZ it can't be Kevin Naiqama, although he's off contract at the end of 2017 and would be a decent signing. Can't believe it would be Tuivasa-Sheck? JJR those beans are ready to spill! |

That's all I know boys but from a very good source. Sorry. Did get it right about Lui signing this week, from same source.
We'll just have to wait.

Edit: I've DM'd Moley to find out what he knows. Some good names on there, although Lolohea just signed for Tigers. You can forget Rapana (Playing the RL of his life) Kahu, and probably Maumalo. Plenty of others there who whet the appetite though...Vatuvei is a bit old now so hopefully not him. Watene-Zelezniak is a cracking player, as is Winterstein and Feki. David Fusitu'a would be quite a signing to. |

I'd guess a little birdy told him it was Nightingale.Of all the names mentioned as being a Kiwi winger I think Nightingale is the most likely candidate, good player but not that muscle bound battering ram we need.
Always thought Kevin Naiqama was heavier than he is, could still do a Carney but he is more likely to get injured if he doesn't have the bulk Carney does.

Rumours are that Savelio isn't being retained by Wire. Not sure what has happened to him over the past 12-18 months as thought he looked a cracking prospect at Saints. Worth a punt for next season if he becomes available? Obvious Salford links tbrough his dad, young, dynamic.... sort of player who would appear to fit nicely within the current team ethos. Thoughts? Confirmed that he's signed for Brisbane Broncos next season. |

Bet Bennett will bring the best out of him, look at Eden after 1 season there. He has all the attributes to become a top NRL 2nd row, one things for sure if he does play well at BB he'll be in the England/GB squad before you know it.

Funny that.... quite a few people thought he wasn't good enough for us and now he signs for some no-mark team called the Broncos!😉 I think he'll do well over there. Mike Cooper is bang average but believe he did alright in the NRL. If Savelio behaves he could be a revelation. |

Mike Cooper is bang average but believe he did alright in the NRL. If Savelio behaves he could be a revelation. I think you're right. We're all guilty of judging players abilities, sometimes harshly. While some players don't set the world alight at one club, that isn't to say they will be the same at another. The opposite also happens, where players come with big reputations and deliver very little. *cough* Kevin Locke *cough*. |

Seen an article this morning and the NZ winger in question is Manu Vatuvei.
I'd have had him three years ago but he is simply too old and passed it for me. Not the right direction for me.

For me it's not a bad signing if its a merely a short-term fix until the end of the season. I'll agree that a short term deal would be ok, but not sure that anything longer would be wise. He's also only played once this year and only 15 times last season. He's been battling shoulder, rib, hamstring and knee injuries over the past three seasons and not successfully. I think he should just retire, trust me I'm a NZ Warriors fan for my sins and he's been a great servant. |
