Two-year deal with Wakefield
Australian prop Justin Poore completed a shock move from Parramatta Eels to Super League club Wakefield Wildcats on Friday.
Former New South Wales forward Poore agreed a two-year contract with Wakefield and will link up with his new team in time for the start of the 2013 season.
The 27-year-old made 178 appearances in the NRL, initially with St George Illawarra, and appeared in all three games of the 2009 Origin series for the Blues.
“This is a major signing for us and shows our fans that we are in the market for some top-quality players,” Wakefield chief executive James Elston said.
Wouldve done the same , parra had a bad year this year , good move wakefield
Good Luck Frank!!!
wow bennett must have lost his touch not signing up poore,he signs everything that moves!!
how could parra let him go as he was improving every game he has played since returning from injuries.He was their best prop this year. all the best justin.
Good guy, good footballer – better off watching him here in the NRL but I guess sh*t happens.
suppose the knights didn’t want to match or pay more than his last over rated contract he had with parra we should go for Shackleton instead a lot better player
“hailed” as a super signing i highly doubt it, id rather sign geogre carmont than him
Obviously doesnt have the ticker to stay in the NRL. This guy is a natural loser. Left the Dragons before 2010. Playered in Parra the last 3 years with 3 bottom of the ladder finishes. He had offers from Canberra and Newcastle 2 teams which could give his career a new start and maybe success for once and he runs away to super league. Will always be remembered as a coward.
lost hes form once he left st.george, was going downhill since he left,
I would offer him $150K tops
hey ray you mean $1.50 tops dont you lol
For all the people that say how much poorey is worth, what qualifications do you have to make such a statement? Ask yourself next time you hide behind your keyboard how much you are worth. What could you offer a club? Nothing… That’s why you will always be a nobody that noone will want to know or ever remember.
