Confirmed Signings - 2012/13

[Borat.]

Helens have announced the signing of 23-year-old utility forward Mark Flanagan on a two-year deal for 2012 and 13. Flanagan was formerly with Wigan Warriors and is currently in his second year at Wests Tigers in Sydney.
Saints Coach Royce Simmons stated: “I coached Mark previously at Wests Tigers. He is a very good young British player who has benefited from his time in the NRL.
“He has an excellent attitude both on and off the field. He is tough and versatile, can play in the middle or on an edge and can cover at hooker if need be.
“He is a good addition to our squad for next year.”
Oldham-born Flanagan played for Wigan from 2007 to 2009 before making his NRL debut for Wests in March 2010 against Manly. Since then he has made 22 appearances, scoring two tries.

[RHCP]

McKinnon and Cuthbertson are somewhat expected by Knights fans, but have either been confirmed yet?

 

[zonoscope]

Jake Mullaney to the Eels

 

[MacDougall]

^ unconfirmed and unsourced there mate.


According to Channel 7 News the John Grant > Wests Tigers signing is legit.

 

[saint_marto88]

McKinnon and Cuthbertson are somewhat expected by Knights fans, but have either been confirmed yet?

Pretty sure they were told at the Red V Forum last week that McKinnon was definitely gone. Cuthbertson is yet to make a decision

 

[The Joker]

Paul Whaturia retired from the Eels earlier in the season and the great Billy Rogers has been released to play with Gympie

According to Rugby League Week on Facebook;

Rugby League Week
Eels sign Taulima Tautai from Cronulla and re-sign Loko, Lasalo, Allgood, Morgan, plus U20s players Pat O’Hanlon, Marmin Barba and Rory Brien all to the end of 2013.

Awesome news, we are retaining all our best prospects and, surprisingly, buying back one of our older ones.

Player ages too;
Taulima Tautai, 23
Jacob Loko, 18
Taniela Lasalo, 21
Mitchell Allgood, 22
Ryan Morgan, 21
Patrick O’Hanlon, 20
Marmin Barba, 20
Rory Brien, 19

Add to that all the young players we have signed and our core of young players, we certainly aren't going to have a retirement village side next year.

 

[snickers007]

Maurice Blair back to Penrith for 2 years

End of Article: http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sp...for-super-league/story-e6frexq0-1226100126222


Very happy about this, regardless of how much we paid. Blair has been outstanding for Melbourne this year. Let's hope he keeps the weight off over the off season!

Doesn't mean they are any good!

 

[abpanther]

Nevermind

 

[Mute]

Gotta have more potential then signing 30+ year olds!

 

[boxhead]

Doesn't mean they are any good!

Of course, but they sure as hell are great juniors. Loko was being groomed by Sticky as a future Origin player and has dominated some top centers this year. Lasalo consistently plays solid 80 minutes and does a lot of good work. Marlin Barba is already being talked about as our 2013 fullback. Rory Brien is Hindmarsh 2.0. Allgood has yet to fill out and has been great this year. O'Hanlon could be a regular very quickly. They are all, bar Morgan, far better than our 30+ aged signings.

yawn

 

[Parra Pride]

Marlin Barba is already being talked about as our 2013 fullback.

Who the hell is Marlin Barba? Surely he isn't better then Marmin?
