Super League target reportedly signs bumper deal

We have seen Leeds Rhinos, Wigan Warriors, Warrington Wolves, Hull KR and Hull FC have all made announcements lately about transfers, whether exits or new signings whilst rumours circle the likes of St Helens, Salford Red Devils, Huddersfield Giants.

Leeds Rhinos drafted in Mickael Goudemand from the Catalans Dragons meanwhile according to reports the Rhinos could lose Aidan Sezer and draft in former Huddersfield Giants hooker Danny Levi.

Wigan Warriors have drafted in Sam Walters, Kruise Leeming and Tiaki Chan and are being linked with Adam Keighran.

But Hull KR have done some stand out business for next year and according to some suggestions that may not be done.

The Robins have been masters at recruitment lately and rumours have swirled that they had set their sights on a Newcastle Knights forward.

This coming after Warrington Wolves had signed Newcastle’s Lachlan Fitzgibbon with the backrower saying of the move: “It’s been in my vision for the last couple of years to make the move over to Super League.

“They play a really good brand of rugby league in the UK which I feel will suit my game. At 29 I want to come over while I still have my best years in front of me.

“The history of the club and how important the club is to the town and the people of Warrington really resonated with me. I’m from a town over here in Newcastle and it’s full of passionate people who love their footy.

“Michael Monaghan is one of our Assistant Coaches at the Knights and spoke very highly about the club. I know Kurt Gidley too who’s a Newcastle legend. Kurt spoke so positively about the club and town. Hearing how much he enjoyed his time over there really made me feel comfortable about the decision and the move to England.

“I’m looking forward to getting over there and meeting the Warrington fans.”

So with one backrow leaving the Knights would they be willing to lose Tyson Frizzell, a man Hull KR have been linked with frequently owing to his relationship with Willie Peters?

Well the answer would appear to be no with the Knights set to sign him on a two year deal.
