Looks like the Tongan forward might now be heading to Haven . He has given back word as wants to play at a higher level.
-
Clearly the club or coach dosent think he's up to it or of the required standard . I think the club need to make it clear ..he's either injured ' not training well enough or not deemed good enough ( last one is unlikely) The club made such a fan fair with his arrival and they select a 20 year old loanee on a two week loan with no professional experience over a PNG int ..something dosent add up.
-
Something is not right with Gebbie any mention of him on the Haven fans forum is immediiatley deleted by MrsHavenwarrior the moderator. She will censor the anything but def hot on any mention of Gebbie. May as well send him home if he's not going to play.
-
I believe there are visa issues contrary to initial reports . Mention of Gebbie is being censored on clubs main fans forum by moderators and club has gone into radio silence mode. Shame as he would have been a super star in this league.
-
Has his clearance to travel to UK seemingly but nothing from the club He will be a revelation in the Camphionship if he finds his 2019 form and we get him here.
-
Cheers tbh if he runs hard , has a bit of size and gives a 100%, that's about all we can hope for in a prop.
-
As I predicted several weeks ago. A big unit. He hasn't got great wraps from a few Keighley fans but only a handful have commented. I think he will do an ok job for us .
-
Haven have just signed him for the next season , whats the keighley fans view of him . Seems a pretty imposing prop is he going to do a job at Championship level in your view. Basically has to run hard with the ball and stop what runs at him ?

Papua New Guinea international Edene Gebbie makes UK move
Holmesy replied to Total Rugby League's topic in Whitehaven RLFC
Be a while yet I think they are struggling with the paper work. -
Graham came back once the financials were squared off and fought with his team to keep us up. Mcavoy wasn't getting in the team and wanted tk paly regular so was allowed to go to town similar to Jake Bradley. Tom Walker was paid up contracted as ruled by RFL and took his toys home and watched his team mates play often while injured to fight to keep the team in the championship Not a man for the trenches imo and tbh I doubt he could have fitted back in.
-
Graham and Castle were better props than Walker last year. Castle is capable far more minutes and faster play of the ball .Graham is a more powerful runner and they both put the team first which is always a bonus. No idea how Walker got in the team of the year for Champ . Total joke he played about 30 minutes in ten games. Then walked away from his Team mates ..the only player to do so in a dificult situation for everyone . Am not sure what sort of reception he would have got from his team mates having refused to play while they fought to save the club . Contrast that to Philips and Newts reaction to the same situation it would have been tricky walking back into the club
-
Announced that Walker has left Haven. He's an OK player but his actions as last year let his teammates down: it's all about Tom and money. Certainly not one of the best two props in the championship last year in the ten games he played or even close to be frank. No idea how that end of season team is selected but something strange going on there . Someone said Gaffney told the entire Barrow squad to vote for Walker! Anyway he'll do a job for Barrow and Whitehaven get rid of a distraction and use the money wisely to sign a replacement.
-
He had trials last season with Leigh don't think we will see him until April
-
Dalton Desmond Walker played for West Wales and Keighley currently playing French League two. He's an Aussie prop. Rumours he's playing for us once french season finishes.
-
Pretty sure DWG is coming in but probably not until the French season ends. Barnes can't play until May apparently so prob no rush. I do think we need more than 22 players mind. A few injurys and we will be in same boat as last season. Also a concern our PNG guy is still not issued with visa.
-
You say" much more to it " in what way if you are able to correct or disprove the suggested outcome. Contribute something fella..
-
Barrow have been chasing him and it was a chance but for the registration held by Haven which RFL ruled in Havens favour Welcome back Tom
-
Looks like big bad Tom Walker will once more don Haven colours next season after a reconciliation Great news . Cain Barnes also signed.
-
Not Luke Page . He's been retired two-years and has a young family in Aus. He was a good forward in his day but very unlikely he would play again let alone over here.
-
Haven have five props Caslte,Graham, Anley and to be announced Dalton Des Walker and PNG prop ( poss McK Yei) so .
-
Dalton Desmond Walker has signed up. Big solid Aussie prop ex Bulls and Keighley playing in France . Also rumours of a PNG prop but no idea who.
-
Teo more I Edene Gebbie and Dalton Walker Grant. Geɓbie will tear the Championshio apart .
-
May be also be DDW. Def some beef up front .
-
Whitehaven have signed seven Australians up for next season. Maizen confirmed tonight. Going to be interesting next season.
