According to todays Daily Express we missed out on him on a short term deal from the Canterbury Bulldogs and that we are set to sign Dene Halatau. Also states that it looks like were giving up on Eastwood.

Both were mentioned a couple of weeks back mate we failed to get millard because of the doggies growing injury list which in turn prevented smithy joining wasps for their pre-season. Halatau is injured at the moment but if we were to sign him he's a good solid back rower who can cover centre and 9!! I would hope we'd sign a centre as a straight replacement for smithy though which would give coady the chance to settle in. www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/ ... 5747894638

Halatau played at 9 for NZ in the test against the Aussies a couple of months back, i've also seen him play hooker, in the centres and the back row for Wests Tigers this season. He okay but i would like to see a quality specialist centre and a prop/back rower added to the team, Halatau is more of a utility and plays mostly off the bench which is something we dont need IMO. Diskin is covering hooker and back row ATM so what would be the point in bringing Halatau in unless Disko is off?

Kirke to prop,halatau for 2nd row???

Halatau is 5ft 8 and 14 stone not big enough IMO if he is to play in the pack if disco is still here. With it been discos testimonial I can't see him going.

Maybe but i hope we get a quality 2nd rower in, Halatau's utility could be usefull to cover for injuries in a few different positions but i would rather we get Eastwood or somebody similar, David Fa'alogo who's signed for Hudds would of been a good signing IMO.

It would of been nice to get pritchard in the 1st place but with the new visa controls unless he's off france i doubt we'll see him super-league now

Senior to SR, Halatau to Centre?

Why what had pritch done?

Maybe!!

Great player on his day is Pritchard but seems to be injured alot this season, not out for long periods but every few weeks he picks up some sort of injury and misses a game or two.
If he could stay injury free i'd love to see him at Leeds.
