New signings

Could it be we are all a figment of Turfs imagination

Bloody hell Turf! That’s a proper blast from the past

I wish he would come back, I wonder if he's still mates with that bus driver

[MrAlex]

Serious question about the new signings...can any of them kick?

Love it! And it's not me btw.

I'd like nsemba to get as much game time as possible to address the 2nd row aging process. Without first team minutes I think he'll just be one year older next year, not one year better. He needa to make mistakes and learn from them to improve, let's give him the opportunity, reserves and championship won't do it.

Junior has just scored 2 try’s for the Reserves here at Salford

I've literally just made a new thread about him.

I don't get why he isn't getting game time at the moment. Especially with KPP and Isa out he was brilliant at Leeds and as Mike says, he needs to make the mistakes and learn etc. I still think having him on the bench instead of Singleton or Mago (or Cust seeing as he does very few minutes) would actually be an advantage to the team anyway

Was just about to post along similar lines re Cust and Singo playing very short minutes.

Yes & made a new thread covering the Reserves when there was already one running! Merged it with the original

I thought Walters was a second row? And thought I had watched a couple of games where he played second row recently. Did I imagine that??? (Just checked what Matty P and I wasn’t imagining it…)

I am just repeating what it says on the Wigan press release.

“ Wigan Warriors are delighted to announce the signing of prop forward Sam Walters from the 2024 season.”

It does say he made his debut for Leeds playing back row but that’s the quote from subheading on the press release on the Wigan web site.

It is literally in the link on the Walters announcement. Read all of the words before having a pop.

The press release said

“Wigan secure the signature of highly-rated prop Sam Walters from LeedsRhinos”

and

“ Wigan Warriors are delighted to announce the signing of prop forward Sam Walters from the 2024 season.”

The fact at the end of it Rads says he can play in the back row as well as in the middle doesn’t alter the fact they refer to him in the headlines as a prop forward does it? Or have you not bothered to read the all the words?

Given in anyone’s understanding of English he’s referred to as a prop forward is it unreasonable to ask is that not what he has been signed as?

I also wasn’t having a pop. As the club refer to signing a prop I was merely asking how does that make him KPP’s replacement and can we expect another back row signing?

The link on the Walters thread refers to him playing second row twice - once noting that is where he plays, and the other a quote from Peet describing where he can play.
I have no idea what your problem is with other people, but there is no cure for the level of obvious stupid on display in your aggressive attitude.
