Scubby Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Little squeaker at the end of this article about Farnworth seems to confirm Newcastle have signed KPP from Wigan. Would be a shame for him to leave SL - Wigan have problems with retention for sure. Also heard the Knights want Will Pryce too on various sites. https://thewest.com.au/sport/rugby-league/dolphins-broncos-in-fight-for-farnworth-c-6845701 https://www.newcastleherald.com.au/story/7741666/pryce-would-be-an-x-factor-signing-for-knights-dom-young/?cs=2503 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Mead Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 He’s a quality youngster, sad for SL but why wouldn’t you go and earn (at least) twice as much in the sunshine in a bigger fish pond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 It is disappointing when he is still way off playing to his full potential. No doubt Lenegan will do all his usual he is replaceable, he will come back type talk but it just doesn't wash anymore. Indeed it never did with me. However never mind from a Wigan point of view but this just isn't good news from a SL point of view. When we are talking about IMG and making the sport better being a 2nd rate feeder league makes that job much harder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulwalker71 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Well, history suggests he will come back in 18 months and be half the player he is now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunbar Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I'm pretty sure Newcastle just want to have the tallest team they can find. 2 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that you, Terry? 8 I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Magic XIII Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 No sympathy. Not unlike Wigan enticing him from London Broncos. Bigger fish are always more attractive. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM2010 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I'm looking forward to watching him in the NRL. They'll be lots of KPPs, Dom Youngs, Will Pryces, Herbie Farnworths in the UK but more investment is needed in the community game so they can be discovered 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastLondonMike Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Best of luck to him if true. Though it's sad for SL, and indicative of where SL clubs are at, that more young players, who look like having the potential to be stars of the game, see the NRL as a better place to progress and fulfil that potential.
