Hull KR won the historic new innovation in Contract Bidding, ‘Lets Make A Deal’ yesterday. Clues are given for a mystery player who could be a star or a complete rookie, and clubs bid with the hope they could pick up a gem. First team or RSC contracts are allocated depending on their stats. Auckland Orcas were the only other team to bid, maybe the rest watching to see what happens, and after several days of counter bids, Hull KR won the player for 225,201 ASRL dollars. The strange amount is the odd dollars Hull KR have in their finances.
It was revealed yesterday that the player being bid on was Corey Waddell, 22 year old second row linked with Manly Warringah Sea Eagles and St George/Illawarra Dragons. Waddell started his career with Penrith's junior sides and played a prominent part in Penrith's Holden Cup Premiership winning team in 2015 and their Intrust NSW Cup Premiership winning team. He was on the verge of breaking into the NRL last year before a pectoral injury ruled him out for a lengthy period and he could not get back into contention. This season he was approached by Manly to join his boyhood friend John Cartwright with them, but when reigning ASRL Champions came calling he could not turn down an RSC contract with them. He will be hoping to hit the ground running and cement a place in the first team asap. Hull are a bit light on second rowers, so Corey could be a godsend. His stats are 7/6/4/2/6, so Waddell will join Trafford Metro on their roster. He will replace Brendan Elliot, who has moved to Manly in a strange twist of fate.
