If this is true, Jon Wells is doing a cracking job.

I haven't seen anything in games against us that makes me think he'd be a good signing.

But, everybody is raving about him, saying he's a shoe in for the dream team centre.

I guess if we've paid money, DP must rate him highly. Tbh can't see it.

I can't see it happening but you never know. I didn't rate him at all at first but think he has developed into a very good centre.
I am of the mindset that you need at least one big, power back in the three quarters: like a Webbo, Carney, Fonua.
Mata'utia has that but if we go with Minikin, Eden, Clare, Shenny then we may lack size and punch, esp bringing ball back in yardage situations. He would fit the mould.

I can't see it happening myself but as someone else posted, "you never know", but Springer, Gadwin ******g Springer, absolutely no chance, he wouldn't get near to our starting 17. As I remember CC said he wanted a half back for next season and one forward, we're supposedly close to signing Reynolds and have signed King from Warrington. Gadwin Springer, jeez. :)

Better than Keegan Hurst that's certain :lol:
Fitness and rugby intelligence are Springer's failings. Physically has everything you need at SL.

Can’t say I believe the tupou rumour, but CC wanted, & almost got Springer for this year so wouldn’t be at all surprised on that part.

I thought Springer was out of contract at the end of this season?

If so, Springer plus cash doesn't stack up as Wakefield could have Springer for free if they want him.

Just don't rate him at all, end of, I'd genuinely be gutted if Tupou left, he's turned into a superb centre.

This Bill Tupou rumour might well have legs, I was talking to a bloke at BV at Friday's game and he mentioned we'd made an offer to an overseas scrum half, at this moment in time our overseas quota is full, the only way to free up space...........

It’s strange is that one.
Didn’t we bring QLT In on jys quota spot, he’s still on our books as far as I know.
So how do we fit matautia in. Unless I known to most me included, QLT as been released.
