After the late-breaking revelation from e-rugby, The NTU SELECTORS have confirmed that they are looking to secure the services of SMU centre, Dezzo ‘I’m F**** up’ Wee, as a long term replacement for soon-departing ex-skipper, Daniel ‘Potato’ Thiam. Despite being tied to SMU until late 2009, Wee will have little choice but to leave should the ‘module bidding’ saga fail to work out in his favour.

“We have been working determinedly to recruit players that would give us strength and depth in key positions, and Wee certainly fits the bill. He’s a skilful player who isn’t afraid to back himself, which is something we’re always on the lookout for,” NTU SELECTORS said today.

When asked on this, Thiam responded, “Competition brings the best out of everyone, and with recent performers like Mat Solo, Ash and Emery already with the team, I’m sure we will push each other all the way.”

The NTU SELECTORS have revealed that Thiam and Wee would be given equal opportunity to push for the No.13 jersey next year, should the transfer be successful.

This, however, do leave some uncertainty as to who the future flyhalf would be.

“He is having an outstanding NRC season, where he consistently breaks the advantage line and is often a threat with ball in hand. He will add real class and firepower to our backline,” said recent NTU acquisition, Rebel Rong.

“We are in the process of nutting out a deal now, I think there’s now a realistic chance he’s coming over. He is only 22 years of age; he is at his prime and will be integral to the continued development of NTU rugby,” claimed the NTU SELECTORS.
