I'm really looking forward to watching Matty Lee's development in the future. The lad had it very hard after his terrible injury at Leeds, but grafted to get back onto the field. Still young and raw, but hopefully will go on to great things in our forward line.
See it's been confirmed today that Wigan have signed Field- https://www.skysports.com/rugby-leag...eels-departure
Very exciting player and looking forward to seeing him in SL.
I wonder if an SL team would look at chancing their arm with James Roberts? Clearly struggling with off field issues, but when he is on form he's another very exciting and very fast player.

Now Official that Paulo has gone.

If I remember correctly Brook, a lot of the talk around him was that he was too lightweight- in the 9's they were saying he was around 78kg at 5'11. Not too much of an issue with the extra space available in that format, but in the 13 man game the feeling was that he could be rag-dolled. He's only 23 and could do what Jackson Hastings has done, in that he's come over here and developed his game after not making it first time around in the NRL and now looks to be going back home.
I do think it's a very good replacement signing for Wigan. It's not all about speed I know, but Wigan will have two of the fastest players in the competition in their spine next year.
Wee Waa, I know what you mean on Roberts but he's only 27 and will need to make a living. Not sure how many chances he'll get in the NRL now. At his best he's a very good strike centre.

Toulouse have just posted a video of his highlights to announce his signing, mostly from his NRL days (obviously) but he looks class for Cronulla in those clips - making breaks, opening defences with quality passes and kicking the ball. What on earth happened to him here?

One of the things that frustrated me about Paulo was that when he just played like a forward he was actually quite effective - not spectacular but made yards after contact and was a pretty strong defender. But he seemed to think of himself more as a ball player, which never seemed to work.
Can't stop the spirits when they need you.
This life is more than just a read through.
LMS signed for another year.
That just leaves Amor, Peyroux and Ashworth to sort out and Matuatia, Paasi and Norman to announce haha
NEVER WRITE OFF THE SAINTS
