If Powell is coming in there would have been no reason to announce Dwyer if we're immediately shipping him out.
King is a decent centre that currently plays for England and will only cost us 50k on the cap. It makes Zero sense that we would shop him out to another club. Justin Olam would cost a fortune and i can't see him being a big game changer.
Shipping Kasiano out seems like an actuall possibility if Burgess doesn't want him, but he was superb the first 8 games for us before the wheels fell off for the WHOLE team bar 2-3 players.
I hope the supposed player round a bout is all bullpoop rumours, as it's just more disruption again.
If it was true, that would make Burgess a fibber on his very first public press conference.
He said along the lines that this is the team, every one has a clean slate, and there may be some additions later. That’s not a quote btw.
The Powell rumour came out while he was out long term, during the summer when Pies signed Leeming. Powell wasn’t offered a contract.
I’d steer clear if it were me. Pies seem to see his shoulder as a risk at 32 next season. As do I.
There was some rumour that he was going to Aus. I can’t see any NRL team wanting a 32 year old with a questionable shoulder.
Wire have already made that error with Widdop, you’d hope that might have learnt a lesson!?
He’d probably end up at Huddersfield as they seem to have a thing for signing aging players.
