This week’s Rumour Mill includes news of a fresh arrival at Warrington Wolves as well as an expected departure, and information on an NRL arrival at the John Smith’s Stadium as Huddersfield Giants look for an improved 2024.
More comings and goings at Warrington as club legend set for return Love Rugby League understand that Warrington legend Matt King is set for a return to the club next year as part of Sam Burgess’ backroom team.
The former Australian international made 106 appearances for the club in his playing days, spending four years at the Halliwell Jones Stadium and won back-to-back Challenge Cups. In 2009, he scored a hat-trick of tries in the semi-final of the competition to take the club to Wembley for the first time in almost 20 years.
Having returned home and spent time with South Sydney Rabbitohs, he retired at the end of the 2013 season and joined the coaching staff there. Helping them to a 2014 NRL Premiership win, he both played with and coached Burgess, and the pair are set to be re-united in 2024.
Elsewhere, sources have told us that out of favour prop Gil Dudson is in negotiations to cut short his time at the club after a poor year.
The Trowbridge-born ex-Wales international joined the club ahead of 2023 on a two-year deal, but has started just nine games to date with just three of those coming during Gary Chambers’ interim spell in charge.
Championship outfit Widnes Vikings are emerging as the frontrunners to capture the forward for 2024, with the 33-year-old believed to be seeking a move to part-time rugby. Dudson already has 91 Vikings appearances to his name having spent four years at the DCBL Stadium earlier in his career.
