Was mentioned as a target for us tonight on Sky. Thoughts? I've thought for a while we need a wrecking ball of a prop to make an impact off the bench, does he fit the bill?

Id take him 100% , we need a prop who will break the line and skittle a few

As long as he's not one of the marquee signings, at ten minutes a half not sure it's a worth it. He's OK has a big presence but no world beater. Though get him into Clarky's fitness palace who knows. I guess the way things are going ten minutes of excitement is better than nothing haha.

Jack.

If it was said on sky then its nonsense

I would much prefer Walmsley if he comes available .

No way.
he couldn't do a fifteen minute stint for saints. He'd just be like Asotasi but taller. ...

Edit:

No way.
he couldn't do a fifteen minute stint for saints. He'd just be like Asotasi but taller, bigger, faster, harder hitting, harder running, more intimidating. ...

The Arsene Wenger of Rugby wouldnt know how to use him effectively anyway! His substitutions are like clockwork, regardless of the game situation or score

He would have more line breaks in his first match than Sims will in a season.

Same could be said of missed tackles. He's not played for 18 months has he and he was an unfit pudding when match 'fit'.

If there is any truth in this rumour it's a shame we didn't recognise we needed a barnstorming prop 12 months ago when David Fafita was available.
Fafita also has a good pair of hands. I maybe doing Masoe a disservice here but I don't remember him having a great offload game. Maybe that is better because there is usually nobody looking when an offload appears because we are more bothered about the speed of the play the ball.
I can handle a short duration impact prop as long as they run past the south stand hi fiving all the fans after the game.

I said I would be happy as pie if we signed him a few weeks ago, BUT he is out for the season with yet another Knee injury so not too sure if he would be a one year gamble that Smith likes so much.
Crosby and Hill starting next year with a fit Mosoe coming off the bench would be pretty impressive.
Throw Kevin Naiqama in the centres and possibly a Decent half back and we'd be looking pretty good. All wishful thinking of course but with so many players off contract new season I assume we are going to bring in around 4 players, maybe more?

Despite his failings Asotasi also had a good off load game & it was just a pity that there was hardly ever support play to pass to. Rauhihi was also a similar type of player.

I do not remember Asotasi's offload game. In fact I do not remember Asotasi having "a game" at all.

I do remember Rauhihi's offload game though. Was immensely frustrating as 80% of the time it was in a position he shouldnt have offloaded.

David Solomona however. That's a player I wish we'd have signed much earlier in his career.

We're trying to sign him until the end of this season, but it's dependent upon his ACL rehab.

That'll solve absolutely nothing

would rather keep Sims than have Masoe, lazy, overweight and can only do 10 min spells. too big to tackle so someone has to cover. There is far better in the NRL not getting a game surely.

I think he'd end up on the wing anyway.

he`d be faster than lineham and more reliable than russell

I'm not sure whether he is the answer, but I think it's that impact type prop we could do with.

Realistically with Hill regularly doing 60 mins a game anyway, we only need someone to come in for two 10 to 15 min spells.

Non starter anyway unless the club can get a Visa for his son.

seems a legit reason too.
Usually they say family reasons Like Fanua has at Hull but he really just got himself a good gig at an NRL club and wanted out of his contract.

Whats your quota spots at present?

Sims and Gidley although we kept sandows registration too. Other than that we have Jullien and that's all of our overseas players.

Will Jullien count on the Quota now with Brexit happening, does anyone know how this will afdect the Kolpak ruling if we are not in the european union?

We're (thankfully) still a long way from Brexit so Juien has no immediate worries. As Kolpack is an EU thing then if we do leave the single market (pray that we don't) none of these players will be allowed to take up a contract without a specific work permit, so lots of them may be forced to go home.
