Wakey are about to announce 5 new signings, wander if Dowesy and Obst are 2 of them, i reckon if Obst is one of them we might announce a NRL signing next week to coincide with the passes going on sale

when you say "about", do you mean today, or during the next few days?

They did, BUT, there are few games being played right now so its not like a coach needs to go out and scout games, someone in a negotiation role may be better suited.

According to the official site heis

As for Obst coming back its unlikely rumour is we have a couple of halves from down under no space left then for overseas, this may leave you with sam for another season.

Don't think Obst counts from next season.. He doesn't count on the overseas due to 'pre 2008' rule and pretty certain he now qualifies for a UK passport due to residency so that brings him off the quota!! He's effectively 'as English as you can get'.....

But But when they speak to Agar and see his vision then they will sign right there where someone less worthy going across may not want to sign
