The Auckland Orcas are delighted to announce the signing of State of Origin and Adelaide star player Dane Gagai until at least the end of the 2020 season.
Gagai, will join the Orcas on a 3-year contract beginning next season.
Gagai is regarded as one of the strike outside backs in the ASRL competition; comfortable playing at centre, wing or fullback; and Orcas Coach & mastermind, Bill Townsend is looking forward to adding his spark to the Auckland backline.
“Dane is one of the best outside backs in the competition and he has played plenty of football at the elite levels of the game in a variety of positions across the backline,” the wonder coach explained
.
“His ability and versatility on the field will be matched by the experience he will be able to bring to the squad. Youngsters like Jennings, Suli & Dylan Edwards will have much to learn from Dane, who was inexplicably culled from Adelaide in what can only be described as a sheer act of lunacy.”
“In our discussions with Dane he’s demonstrated that he’s willing to come to our Club and work hard to bring success to the team, he’s a man of great character and has leadership qualities that he will bring to the Club too. WE cannot comment on this most extraordinary decision by an obviously panicked Adelaide coach. The club is indeed in some disarray”
“We wish Dane the best of luck as he finishes off this season with Adelaide and we look forward to having him join our squad for the new season.”
There have been a few other significant additions to the club which will be spoken about in due course.
