Why on earth would we benefit from signing him? Keep Nas if possible - he's looking the business.

I'd only consider signing some over-the-hill marquee player if that brought a shedload of external money into the club. And, other than Sir Steve Menzies, our recent track record in recruiting marquee players is not that encouraging?

Nas for me, although if Roy Cropper became available....

I think we keep sammut and Nas. Hes younger is nas and doing good and roy is injury prone and getting towards retirement.

No thanks. I think Manuokafoa has performed well for us and will be commanding a fair bit less than Asotasi in wages. It would be pretty daft to bring someone else in and take a gamble on him not settling in this country (see Orford/McKinnon).

Potter has really done the business this season with his o/s signings. It's always risky signing someone from overseas, they may take a while to get going or even end up cutting their stay short like McKinnon, but all 3 of ours have hit the ground running and look to be top quality players.
I had my doubts about Purtell but he has been solid, didn't really know too much about Nas but he is now a guaranteed spot in the 17, and Lulia has been just as awesome as I had hoped, if not more so!

Best overseas signing we've made since Menzies, really hope we can keep hold of him as he is one of the best imports in SL.

Er...can't keep them both under the rules. Unless we get some special dispensation, one of them has to go for the next salary cap year.

Manuokafoa has the potential to be the best prop in this league. Asotasi, not heard good write ups about him for a while. Plus Manuokafoa is playing out of his skin and at the moment is leading the chase for the last quota spot.

Possibly they wont be around much longer.

Kearney?

Nas for me, he's been great for us so far

How ironic if Caisley returns and the first signing announced is Asotasi - an old (big name) antipodean from the same club he brokered the sale of Sam Burgess to.

By the same logic, he could just bring back George Burgess.

Now that would be a cracking move by the new regime, ....can't see it though



And I can't belive this kite flying about asotasi got 3 responces never mind 3 pages, fine effort.

Bringing back George Burgess would be a much better move. He's not had a 1st team appearance for Souths yet.

The Asotasi kite flying used to occur on the T&A site, I think the OP has come from there judging by the ill thought out posts.

Maybe we should enquire about Asotasi's dad. He may be a bit older, but presumably a big lad, and out of contract.

What are Bulls thinking? You are already short of vowels for the shirts, now you look for a bloke with every other letter a vowel.

TBF, only due to the previous administration writing so many I O U s

That explains why they were so keen to sign Brett Kearney.

Frighteningly, I agree once more.

Asostsi, would leverage little more on or off the green rectangle than Manu does at present.

quiet word that one of our props is being let go and that george burgess is coming back definatley for next year with tommy B signing aswell. liek many are saying scruton ..but doubt it as it would mean paying him out. so looks like hargreaves unfortunatley

be a downgrade in short term but could be a good signing long term. could make sense with george not really breaking through at souths and caisley being his agent. wouldnt be surprised to see fielden back next year either.

Really want us to keep hold of Hargreaves.

Would like to see George back but he's not going to be at Bryn's level for a few years yet, if he does get there.

Joseph out, G Burgess in? That would be a brilliant move if it came to fruition, however I think it is only wishful thinking. I can't see why George would want to come home now, he'll probably be pushing for a starting spot at Souths within the next year or two.

George Burgess is on the verge of the first team and is going great guns for the feeder team.
He wont be back at Bradford. Maguire has said he has no hesitation about picking burgess but he wasnt supposed to be ready until next year.
