Possible new signing

[One Warrior]

Wiki apparently said on Code that we will be announcing a new signing this weekend, his words were a surprise signing, also said that Rapira will be playing this weekend. Can anybody confirm this info about a signing.

Read somewhere else that Dean Bell has been in England and it could Great Britan prop James Graham.

Remember Andy Platt?

JG cleaned up the Kiwi fwds a few years ago.

 

[Wheeled Warrior]

Greg Eastwood would be the logical choice

He wants to play in the NRL
We need a prop
He wants more time on the field
We can give him more time
He loves playing for the Kiwis
We can build a forwards combination to strengthen the international game more
He would be expensive
We have the money

If not him this James Graham fulla better be good

Win Win Win for everyone

The bad points about paying him for his overs will be justified this guy is a real talent. Pair him with Wiki to get his fitness up to scratch

The bad points about paying him for his overs will be justified because this guy is a real talent - set him up with wiki and his fitness will be at optimal

James Graham IS very, very good. He would be a signing for any club that would only be slightly lower on the level of british talent than Burgess. He is however more of an 'out and out' prop than Sam.

James sh*ts all over most up and coming Australian props.

Prop rotation of Graham, Rapira, Packer, Matulino? Ahhh, yes please. We'd only be a balanced backrow away from having one of the best packs in the comp then.

Still, I'd be surprised if it were Graham. usually surprise signings are hard to keep out of the media unless they're lower profile players (ie. Henderson a couple years back) and Graham's desire to test himself in the NRL has hardly been quiet.

So if James Graham did sign (imo a good signing) what would happen to the likes of Latimore Poching?

Wasn't there an issue with Eastwood that Leeds were demanding a pretty extortionate transfer fee? We didn't pay it for SB Dubb, I doubt we'd be able to foot it here either...

James Graham would be a great signing, here's hoping. Yes we'd have to pay overs but given we were thinking about paying 250-300K for Matai, we seem to have money to throw away.

Come on guys, too much wishful thinking, its the Warriors we are talking about.

If we ever have a Toopi and Ropati Centre Pairing I'm changing teams to support

 

[NZ Warrior]

Pricey will come back for one more season, with a new bionic heel!!!

 

[blain]

Procter?

 

[Revelation 3:20]

Feka back from england lol
Logan Swann again.....
Inglis....you heard it here first lol
Monty Betham woooowww!
Matt King?? who knows....

 

[NZ Warrior]

Justin Murphy, anyone?

 

[Martli]

OH, STOP IT!! These suggestions are doing my head in :lol:

Hahahaha, only because we all know that they're highly likely options...

On a serious note: I know next to nothing about this James Graham guy. Sounds like he could be a pretty decent signing though so here's hoping.

 

[devoid]

I keep thinking about the Matt White rumour a couple of weeks back - a signing announced the week after the Titans were over here; seems the most plausible to me at the moment. The only thing that goes against it is Wiki's comment that signing is a bit of "surprise." Toopi (gulp)?

When was Dean Bell in England? He was at Mt. Smart last sunday.

 

[MKEB...]

Geez it could well be Whatuira.

 

[NZ Warrior]

Geez it could well be Whatuira.

Yep, it very well could be.

 

[Revelation 3:20]

Geez it could well be Whatuira.

I think that will be the case. Think about it, he is still young enough, won two titles.
He is an experienced centre. And if Wiki says it is a surprise then you would think it is someone high profile or someone most people are familiar with.....or an Englishman.

 

[Wheeled Warrior]

Doesnt he (Whatuira) have mental problems now? If not then thats good, he is what I call a tin ass player. Luck is always around this guy
