Rumoured/Confirmed Signings and More Crap XVI

[Gronk]

I have heard of someone we are chasing. I won't name names but I will tell you once it's announced.

People should give you more praise for the scoops that you provide us here mate.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

The secret is out! It's Wicks.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Players like Sims and McGuire would be top 25 signings, this guy would be a second tier signing.

You'd hope so but not necessarily. In his prime Danny Wicks would be in every club's top 17, so there would still be some demand for him.

It's likely that the club that signs him will either be close to his home, or they're offering the most money. That would probably place him somewhere near the bottom of the top 25. Maybe $100k a year.

Could be right. It might be better if he turns out to still have it, it wouldnt hurt our second tier cap.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah. Ideally all your first graders are in the top 25 or the second tier cap fills up very quickly.

 

[Lemon Squash]

Just the type of standout citizen we need at the club!

Wicks will bring with him a clean-skin attitude and hopefully it infects all the scum we currently have within our ranks

 

[Joshuatheeel]

He only sold drugs, manu belted someone

Yep - Parra is the closest club to Silverwater.

 

[Gronk]

Suaia Matagi, Warriors prop, is an ex-con.

If a person has served his time, I don't see the problem.

 

[phantom eel]

He'll be 29 next season... if we sign him for one year, he'll play out of his skin trying to earn a final contract. But if we sign him for two or three years from the outset, I'm not sure he'll be anything above average for longer than say the first month?

At least it looks like he's kept in/got in shape.

 

[Bigfella]

When did BA say that he was after a convicted drug dealer who hasn't played for four years most of which was spent in the big house?

 

[Captain BF]

Why would Brad Arthur want Wicks? Does anyone know the reasoning behind it?

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Didnt know Wicks was that old?

But I dont think age should be an issue.

Some of the good props in the game are the ones who have matured in their mid to late 20s/ early 30s.

As long as he's fit.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Wicks turns 30 at the end of next year, meaning even if we sign him for three years he won't turn 32 until after his contract is finished.

He is a hard merkin of Anglo descent. It's possible Arthur's thought we didn't have enough if those.

This. I mean Ma'u served time too

Would be a decent signing on a year to year deal

 

[Pazza]

He hasn't played in 3 - 4 years?

This has to be a 2nd tier signing, would hate to lose Gower/Paulo for Wicks.

 

[Bigfella]

I hope he's retained his pace.

Otherwise twizzle will probably say he's as slow as a wet Wicks

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

He looked quick when i saw him yesterday..

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He looked quick when i saw him yesterday..

To whom were you comparing him though?

I played Oztag against Jason Taylor and he was lightning compared to us regular deadshits. Yet against NRL players he was an absolute pedestrian.

 

[Bazal]

Blake Green is returning to the NRL next year and has secured a contract. I wonder who it could be?

I'm almost certain it's the Storm. He did approach Parra, not sure what happened though. I think Brisbane were on the cards too. Good buy, now that he's actually been used as a half he's killed it in England.
