Walmsley to sign - Possm take a bow!

I think it's fair to say that big Al was always going to see out his contract with St Helens which ends after the 2018 season. Who knows if he'll come to us in 2019. If, and only if, he comes to us it will be because of his English connection with Graham and Widdop. He is also a good friends with the Burgess boys so he could end up South End. Pure rumour and conjecture at this point.

"Many believe his signing is the reason the Dragons released Joel Thompson to Manly despite having a career best season in 2017."

That doesn't seem likely as Thomo's contract would of been finished at the end of 2018 anyway?
unless they hope to get him for 2018 as much as I would like it I cant see it happening.

I am of the belief that we need to get deep into the finals in 2018 to be a contender in 2019. Most of our squad lack finals experience.
Fair point. I think we should make the semis this year.

That is another reason I want our players playing origin.

This is the second report on this ' possible ' signing in 2 days .
As they say " where there's smoke , there's fire " . And if this news is correct , then it will be a bluudy big fire .

More so when he combines with that well mannered gentleman Mr. Graham . Watch out , as the Dragons will be breathing fire once again !

2019 will be very interesting.
If we get him its 2019 not this year as far as I can find out.
2019 is looking good .

Wait wait hang on a minute.... Are we really taking this seriously? An article about signing a player for the 2019 season from a website that looks dodgier than my toilet after a bad curry. Seriously I took one look at this website and immediately scanned for viruses.

And secondly, Possm never predicted the Walmsley signing... He just said he wanted it to happen.
I'm sorry to piss on your bonfire mickeylane but you're getting a little ahead of yourself here to be saying things like "looks like Walmsley is ours".
If it happens, then I will happily retract, but for now, the gun has been well and truly jumped.

Makes more sense for 2019.

We’re prop heavy for 2018, but Au Mau, Allgood, Latimore and Kerr will be off contract at the end of next year.

I’d still be looking at an outside back to replace Thommo for 2018, then worry about Prop depth in 2019. The signing of Walmsley would be a good start if true.

This website means literally nothing. It's not even a report, no source mentioned at all. What's happened is they have probably made an article off the fact The Mole (who is unreliable) mentioned Dragons may have signed him for 2019
