Thanks for the link mate.

Very restrained but well said by Timmy Mannah.

west tigers signed pat richards aye. trying to recreate some of the 05 magic.

Pat Richards proved to be the difference in Wigan's 28-20 win over Hull FC overnight, both sides scored 4 tries but Richards' 6 goals was the match winner.

RLW have said that Sam Tomkins is pricing himself out of the nrl by asking for a near 1 Million dollars. ( Titans and Warriors are in the hunt for him)

 

[Daniel_603]

Not just that, but $250k a season to Wigan in transfer fees, which has to be included in the salary cap. Plus also suggestions of a player swap to ensure a Warriors deal. I hope he can tackle...

Hahaha - took me a minute to think who he even was.

Just hearing news through that young NQ Cowboys hooker Alex Elisala has died today, after attempting to commit suicide on the weekend.

Cowboys apparently to hold a press conference later this afternoon.

Elisala was a 20 year old who made his international debut for Samoa last week.

Such sad news ... second young rugby league player to commit suicide in the past 2 months

 

[GiRDS-]

Thats terrible news AY

As for sam tomkins is he really the billy slater of the super league or is it hype? Personally i dont care if penrith sign him as he cant be worse than kite or soward so anything other than resigning coote is an im provement,

 

[Tanswell87]

Elisala is on life support in Mackay. Hadn't heard anything about attempted suicide

 

[Victor The Viking]

The news articles I have seen are saying he is on life support too. None I have seen have said it was attempted suicide, but most of the reports have Lifeline and Beyond Blue details on the bottom of the story which makes me think it most likely was.

Really gotta get through to these young Islander / Indegenous boys...
The write up about Mosese Fotuaika in the SMH the other day was heart breaking.
As well as being a promising Tiger Cub, He was an alround great kid!!

Dragons to announce Dugan this week and maybe Chase as well...

 

[Grumpsta]

Wade Graham first Shark to be interviewed by ASADA

 

[AyiosYiorgos]

Everybody loves WeymanThe Knights and Raiders are both keen to sign veteran Dragons prop Michael Weyman. A real force when he is full fit, Weyman has been struggling with injury this season but made a return to arms for the Illawarra Cutters last weekend and came through unscathed. He should be back in the top side soon – maybe even for Monday night's crunch game against Manly

 

[Dragon_Fire]

Dragons to announce Dugan this week and maybe Chase as well...

Is rangi being signed to play 2013 or 2014.?

 

[AyiosYiorgos]
