Bailey, Taylor & Moi Moi "Sacked" By Wolfpack

-

The Mirror Sport are reporting that the trio have left the club with immediate effect by mutual consent, after an incident on a training camp in Portugal.

Ryan Bailey is no stranger to controversy, in late 2017 the former Rhino tested positive for illegal substances, Bailey won an appeal against the findings, but many still had their doubts over the Rugby League renegade.


Taylor and Moi Moi have both lead relatively reputable careers until this incident, Taylor of course caught in the Gold Coast Titans Cocaine scandal but was never charged. Speculation online is pointing towards a breach of club rules, in relation to how a representative should conduct themselves in public.

The official statement made by the Wolfpack didn't state one cause behind the decision, instead keeping it vague and calling the decision "mutual consent", sounding more like jump before you're pushed.

Frank-Paul Set For Warriors Exit

Nu'uausala has reportedly signed an agreement with Wests Rosellas, that will see him leave Wigan before the season starts.

The former Kiwi International hasn't made much of an impact in Super League since his arrival, playing 24 games for Wigan in his two seasons with the club.

While Wigan are yet to make an official statement, Frank-Paul has told Rosellas coach, Matt Lantry, he will be in Newcastle next week to begin preparations with his new club.

Nu'uausala is still in the UK at the moment, trying to finalise things on his end so he can obtain a formal release from his contract, the New Zealand forward has been out of favour for a while, so Wigan should be fine with him leaving the club.

An official statement from Wigan is expected early next week.

Ireland International and Wigan Warriors stalwart hooker, Michael Mcllorum has been earmarked as a potential replacement for the injured Josh Hodgson, for the Canberra Raiders.

The 29 year old made his Super League debut for the Warriors back in 2007, since then he has featured just short of 250 times for the Lancashire based club.

Mcllorum has enjoyed plenty of silverware with Wigan, 2 Super League titles and 2 Challenge Cup's, in his 10 year career.

Mcllorum missed large parts of the 2016 season through injury, and made a triumphant return in 2017, earning him a spot in Ireland International squad where he clearly caught the eye of Raiders coach Ricky Stuart.
