Wiki and Koopu

[Lowey3]

Whats the situation with these two players ?

Both have been linked with moves over here in the last few weeks. ( England ).... is Koopu off contract ?

Wiki is signing on with North Blackpool Badgers....and I believe Koopu is in talks with the Scotland expansion team Glasgow Tartan.

North Blackpool Badgers :lol:

If you believe every rumour that comes out of pomgolia about out players we might as well shift the whole bloody franchise over there.

Koopu was certainly ripped off missing out on a Kiwi's jersey. From a Warrior POV it's hard to work out why L Anderson and Guttenbeil are rated higher (or is he injured?).

Thats why i'm asking space monkey.

Our papers dont usually link these kind of players because of the funof it.... they coulden't care less about rugby league, unless it was true.

Also Wakefields chairman has just announced to the press that Wiki was offered to them for this season but they coulden't afford it because of the salary cap... he said he's in talks with quite a few teams.

This hit me as a surprise because i thourght Wiki had 1 year remaining ?

 

[SpaceMonkey]

As far as I know both Wiki and Koopu are under contract for next year.

 

[Lowey3]

Arr ok mate, i thourght so.

Might be just clutching at straws on my part lol.

Saints have been linked with both and since we've just sold Mickey Higham, we're now chasing a second rower.

Wiki's signed until end of 2007, Koopu signed a new contract mid year through I think until end of 2008.

On Koopu Thierry, I thought Awen Guttenbeil's form over the back end of the year was marginally better than his. And I'd say the New Zealand "A" performance went a long way to sealing the deal where clearly Guttenbeil was man of the match.

Wairangi Koopu had a great year..I seriously can not believe he is not in the New Zealand Squad for the Tri Nations

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Personally he should be there instead of Solomona. But with the backrow depth the Kiwis have its a shame that its Koopu thats the 1 that misses out

 

[hitman82]

I think these poms just make up sigining rumours as a way of making conversation on this forum.
