Don’t know how the club can get Makaele in the quota if the rumour he want to stay is true.
Do lower tier international players count on the quota, or did they shore that up a couple of seasons back?

I must have missed that one. Bit odd that someone who's family couldn't wait to get home would decide to either bring them back...OR leave them at home. He's a half-decent player, I'm sure he could get a gig in Australia.

Well he can't really get much of a gig in Oz, didn't trouble the Gold Coast starting 17 on his return. I believe there are cogs turning to try and keep him. Might have to up his defensive efforts for Burgess I'd imagine.

If Kasiano moves to Saints it will be interesting to see how many players will be following in his wake to take advantage of his line breaking off loads. We have failed so far to exploit his strength with any regularity.

Think the club offered to bring his mother in law over to help his son/wife settle.

So King and Kasiano going nowhere and Powell to be announced in the coming weeks. https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/sp ... nned-2024/

It just shows what a turbulent time this has been at the club when this thread is only 7 months old but has reached 162 pages. Looking forward (hopefully) to a time when these threads are less eventful.

Wigan’s similar thread is over 2700 pages given it’s over 10 years old. Nothing wrong with a bit of speculation and rumour. Sometimes they are true (when Abe posts them ) and others pure nonsense but it at least gives something to talk about in the off season.

This was simplified a couple of years ago, its simply 7 non fed players allowed, whether they come from Aus, NZ, Fiji, PNG etc etc.

That’s what I thought.

Well that was why I was initially reluctant, as they've got that and the piespace thread, the rumours thread takes a while to come up off the server, more pages on one thread etc, greater strain.

I think the Leeds equivalent is even longer.

Yeh because you was that teenager that had plates under the bed collecting mould instead of one tidy place
