Thought the same thing!

Richards to fullback and Webster to replace him on the wing? Colbon to play another season of back up?

"Jake had personally approached us on Monday of this week about a possible release to pursue an opportunity to play in the centres for a UK Super League team,"

I'm pretty sure this guy is regarded as more of a centre than a winger.

Jake Webster bound for super league.

Just read on skysports website that Gold Coast Titans have announced that New Zealand test winger Jake Webster will be leaving them at the end of the season to take up a position at an as yet unnamed super league club after receiving a "huge offer".
Could it be us? I can't say that I know much about him, but if he is a NZ international you would expect him to be half decent. Only thing that worries me is the "huge offer" bit.
Anybody know much about him?

Sorry folks!, I didn't realise there was already a thread on the rumour mill.

The last "NZ international" that joined us has probably worked out to be the worst value for money player we have signed in recent times!

He is leaving because he probably won't have a starting spot next season - so he can't be that good!

'Huge' is hardly a definitive value is it?

When a club lose a player they always put a spin on it - whether it's salary cap or we couldn't match the extortinate offer.

It's going to be more that he's on at the moment and less than Trent's on at Wigan - that leaves quite a large margin.

I don't think Leuluai has been that bad! Anyway, he's not leaving.

Alright then! Last but two (including Feka), if there are any others that I have missed then I am referring to DV - as well you knew Geoff!
