If Perth play their cards right, I'd expect a big English contingent to form the backbone of the team. There are a lot of expats out west and it is quicker to get to and from than other Australian cities.
More Irish than poms here. And I'd say Kiwi's outnumber both. We don't particularly get on with the English (jokes lol - Kinda lol)
 
Apparently George Williams hasn’t signed with the Phins yet. Warrington asking for a 400k transfer fee or possibly a player swap with Nikorima as both are off contract end of next season
 
The Phins should just do the swap IMO. I have no idea why they would want Williams, they must see him as a perfect fit next to Katoa (I don't think so) so what's the point of having Nikorima. They clearly don't think he's their future. Problem will be getting him to agree, which if I was him, I'd tell them to bugger off.
 
Any forwards you reckon we should target to replace either of Afoa or Ale. I understand the promote from within thought process but we need some more experience in there as well
Wouldn’t mind Neame if playing next to JFH got a lift out of his performance. Makes me wonder what’s going on with Ale so close to June 30 and he’s not listed as injured or playing nsw cup?
