Are you looking at the same player? He hasn’t played at Catalan since 2017 and played 22 league games for Wigan last year.

For me he’s excellent in defence but offers very little going forward. We had that in England and Hirst, to sign Navarette would be a backwards step imo.

I bow to your superior knowledge....

I confess to now knowing much about this player - which really makes me think - is he any better than the likes of Gwaze?

Did you see any Wigan games last season on sky? I would say he has far more experienced and match hardened than any young lad not just Gwaze.

I reserve the right to slag him off once he puts on a Wakey shirt though.

Think we need a reality check here.
We are not signing a superstar. We are signing someone to fill a gap left by injuries.
He doesn't need to be the best. He just needs to be good enough to play a decent standard of super league as our 4th choice prop. Anything else is a bonus.

Haha you have that right!
I didn't see much at all of Wigan last year but if he's as you say then probably he'll fill the gap till we get some troops back.

If we are just signing him to fill the gap left by injuries then why sign him up for the full season? When the majority of injured players are likely to be back for round 2 or 3? Just takes money out of the budget for a full season that could of been spent on a quota player mid season as Chester has talked about all pre season.

He is not any better than Gwaze IMO, from what I have seen.

I think we would have been okay going with what we have for the first few rounds tbh, even the likes of Pitts could have done a few stints in the front row if needed.

You need 4 middles per game and have a back up plan.

We have only 2 middles fit!

Gwaze is one of those injured.

We need players NOW, to get through the first month. If that's Navarette for a month's loan, so be it.

Chester knows what he's doing.

Re: Possible incoming : Sun Jan 26, 2020 5:47 pm  

Don't have a problem with Naverette, he's not gonna set the game on fire but he's a good solid experienced player with a bit of steel in him, he'd do fine.

Didn’t know Gwaze was injured when has this happened
