I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if we ended up with Danny Richardson, and to be honest I wouldn’t mind that much. Especially if that meant that we could invest in two top class props and an outside back.

No thanks he jumped ship at stains and can't get a game at Castleford unless they have injuries

I know that this won't be popular and i can't stand him as he's a proper sh*thouse,but i think that we could do a lot worse than sign Blake Austin as it looks like Leeds are signing Alden Sezer

Wigan Warriors have beefed up their forward pack by landing two NRL props. The Warriors have agreed to terms with St George Illawarra’s Kaide Ellis and South Sydney’s Patrick Mago for the next three years.

Ellis, 24, has played 22 top grade games since making his debut for the Panthers in 2018. He joined the Dragons last season and re-signed with the club for 12 months.

The Rabbitohs were keen to hang onto Mago but the three-year offer proved too good to refuse for the 26-year-old who is at his third NRL club.

either of them any good?

Neither has played more than 40 NRL games despite being in there mid 20’s

Ellis was at Paul Vaughan’s house party which breached the covid bubble last week.

Not the 2 grizzled veteran props I was hoping for but hopefully they come good.

Can't recall ever seeing Ellis. Mago has played pretty regularly for Souths and you'd like to think he's got his best days ahead of him, good pick up.

Think expectations are too high considering the finances available across SL. Surprised any team is giving out contracts that exceed the length of the next TV deal.
