Congrats on another suberb signing by the looks of it, Yes slightly jealous of this one and Mellors



But is onyone on Twitter i get a few RL feeds and one today from Code13rugbyleague made me chuckle, Talk about lazy reporting for a change, See if you can spot the howlers

"Wakefield Trinity Wildcats have confirmed the signing of another recruit for next season, with back-rower Steve Southern inking a three-year deal, subject to work permit.
The 19-year-old has spent the last season with the Newcastle Knights in the NRL, and prior to that he enjoyed six seasons with the North Queensland Cowboys.

A player who has clocked up 129 NRL appearances, ‘Bluey’, as he is nicknamed, played in an NRL Grand Final with the Cowboys in 2005.

“I’m really excited about my future at Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, with a new owner, new Super League licence and new coach it really is the start of something new and I’m stoked to be a part of that,” Southern said.

“I have a lot of family in England and I’ve always wanted to get over here and play Super League. I’m really happy that I’m finally doing that for Wakefield and I can’t wait to get out on the field and put in my all as a Wildcat.”

Trinity chief executive James Elston was also delighted to be welcoming an established NRL player to his club for next season.

“Steve is a great addition to our squad for the next three years, his NRL experience will provide a great boost to many of our younger players and his ruthless playing style will be great for our supporters to see,” he said.

“I have heard many great things about Steve’s work ethic and he has been a popular member with both fans and players at every team he has been at, I’m sure he will be a perfect fit at The Wildcats. I look forward to his arrival and seeing him in action for Wakefield.”

WOW he must have started young, he must be talanted

Some Player to be in a GF at 13

Subject to Uk Border Agency clearance,please God dont let him have a parking ticket or a overdue library book in his distant past

At least we have learned and are sorting it out well ahead of schedule this time.

Southern is known to be, as Stevo would say, one tough hombre - will certainly add some steel to the defence.

A great signing for mine - welcome aboard!

Good signing just hope he stays fit

Great signing! Hopefully with big Ali, foxy and Leon Pryce to come!

and Dowes and maybe our good mate Sam!! Obst???

Would only take obst back if non-quota. Dowes is a decent prop, what about king, korki are they not being retained?

Would Sam Obst be exempt thro' residency??

I like pryce but only plays when he wants to .I M O very lazy

Would take Obst back but I wouldn't count him as a marquee signing.

The only talk of marquee signings have come from on here which could pretty much cover every player going

Sams a good un ,Just for the effort he puts in

Oh dear cant believe uve just said that be prepared to have the moaners on at u with the id rather have skill than effort and all that jazz

Haha id love sam back aswell but where would that leave davey?? I suppose he could have a season at a championship side like fev or leigh?
Regarding Sammy tho ill never forget the time i was with the missus and her mum in costa and the wildcat players came in with sam and the missus mum ask us who the small boy was and why he was with those big men

Replacement for Hendo ???

Big shoes to fill.

Do the suggestions of Pryce signing for us have any foundation, or is it just hopeful speculation?

That would be a good signing and may even qualify as 'marquee.'

He was rumoured to be on Catalans radar...
