Clark? He wanted to sign him 3 years ago but he went to Warrington?

Think it will be Wardle. Would be a great signing. Powell has said probably going for 2 signings for next year. Need a prop on top. Walmsley rumour been dismissed a few times but still got some legs. Tagatese? Burgess? Wishful thinking?

Wouldn't get in the team anymore, he's half the player he was and has been surpassed by both McShane and Milner.

Itll likely be Wardle, they wouldn't announce Walmsley when they still might have to play Saints again this season.

I can see young Brandon Douglas playing a part in the forwards next season, he is very highly rated,

He's probably the 3rd best Burgess but still solid. Some good NRL experience and would be an upgrade from a tired Lynch for sure.

Him or Wardle I think and will be happy with either.

Steve gill says that when it's announced people will say 'wow, that's one hell of a signing'. I don't think that would apply to Joe Wardle which to me would be a 'good' signing.
Conundrums like these are what helps the days tick over.
Which English forward would be a hell of a signing ? Walmsley ? Burgess? Graham ? Liam Watts ?.

I'm confident Wardle is one so unless the club has another up their sleeve, I'm going with that.

Wardle and Burgess would do for next season.

Replace lynch with this wow signing. And a other and were good to go in 2018

Remember rhinos in the hayday only brought in 1 new face each year.

I'll put another name out there that might fit the description - Joe Westerman.

Wouldn't call that a wow factor .

Wardle, Westerman or Watts are nowhere close to wow factor.

Wardle & Westerman would be good signings, Watts would be a bit of a disappointment - far too many brain farts in his game.

I seam to remember us being in for Gareth Hock few years ago.
That would be a big wow for all the wrong reasons.

I would take all 3 of them above burgess. He's alright but he seems to either go for one out rugby or have a brain explosion and do the wrong pass. He's the best of the twins if it's George we have signed we have better already.
