Club already want to sign King permanently, the place is bouncing and full of belief at the moment and there is a genuine belief we will end saints dominance.

Prop high on the agenda for the end of season as is a half back as its expected Cust will head home & Mago will be let go as things stand.

Not sure which out of the two will take priority I guess it will unfold as the season progresses.

Not getting into tittle tattle on this thread or back and forward snide comments with certain users. This is just what Ive been told so I am posting it.

More hands on / permanent role is there for Wane depending on the outcome of his England Career.

However it is thought within the club that if he leaves England he will take up a head coach job in SL or move to RU - England (hardly surprising )

As usual, thanks for the little bit of extra info Dan


Fwiw I do not see Waney being a fit for Union

Thanks for the update Dan, Mago may just crack on this season, we never know. 🤔 I hope he does come on as he is a smashing bloke & is always willing to stop & chat to fans.

I sometimes feel that some Aussies come over & are under the impression that SL is not as good, okay, I know what you’re all going to say, what I’m meaning is they sometimes think it’s not as good, hard or as fast as NRL & they can ease up on training, diet etc.

Mago may just realise that he hasn’t performed as he can, as he did at the start or could & because of this his fitness failed him & subsequently got demoted in rank as a starting prop! Maybe he is just laid back! 😊

He seems genuinely happy atm seems to fit in, but it always takes a little while for new guys just to get used to the place, he appears a lot more cheerful than Jake Wardle who looks a bit overwhelmed when mixing with fans. Told him last night he will soon get used to us lot 😊

Also I didn’t realise how tall Toby is in person!

It’s a shame as I had a feeling Cust would be around for a few more seasons but fair play if he wants to head home, he’s been good for us and hopefully another belting season ahead!

If O’Neill & Forber keep progressing then an out and out half would be good with Astley to keep learning in the background. Be interesting to see who we line up as replacements.

Me too, he seems to be really enjoying his time here & he too is such a pleasant guy to have around the club.

Both him & Harry are playing as halfback twins this season with same haircut 😂😂 Good that they get on well.
