I am interested to hear what the rest of you think about the immediate future of KD.

In 2013 he was being touted as one of the hottest properties in SL, England Knight and being courted by amongst others Salford.

Almost a year later, he hasnt pulled on a pair of footie boots in anger having suffred a very serious knee injury.

So if you were in his shoes, what path would you take:

1) Sign up for a top SL side (top 5 or 6). But by the looks of it these sides already have a decent rosta of outside backs, plus would they want to take a punt on a bloke whos been out for a year ?

2) Sign up for a lower ranked SL side. More likely to get a starting berth, less likely to win trophies and earn decent money, but here again, a year out.

3) Stay with London Brocnos, lower standard rugby league, probably higher paid player, rebuild confidence and reputation, look for a move in a year.

I hope he stays but cant see it, but will he become the next Will Sharp, Omari Caro, etc.

Number 3 sounds good!

I'd love for no3 to happen but I reckon he'll go to a mid / lower ranking SL club ( ?Salford)and then on to a top 4 one in a season or two if he proves his form and fitness.

If he shows himself back to the form of last season, and with the right coaching / conditioning I think he will do much better than the likes of Caro and Sharp.
BTW is Caro still under contract at HKR? Reckon he'd get a SL berth elsewhere? Or would he come back to London?

Caro will be leaving at the end of the season

He has been out for a year, and doubful to play at all this season!!! I reckon his options are limited, i think he will have to stay with us, prove himself again and then likely to move on middle of the year next season when he has regained fitness

I expect him to sign up with a SL club.

He'd be crazy to stick around. He is in the same class as MCB and we are now seeing what he can do with better quality around him.

Caro will be a London player .

Meh.

Personally if I was him I'd accept the best offer financially. He was reportedly close to not being able to play again and we don't really know if he will come back the same player. It's a short career, good luck to him.

Oh dear god no

He's 10x the player of either of those two, whatever he decides to do if he stays free of injury he will have an excellent top level career.

Caro is a player who is going to struggle for regular SL games but is better than most at Championship level... so on a 1 yr deal perfect for what we want.

Keep saying it, we aren't going to attract top quality English players, so SL rejects and our academy is our best bet. We're surely near/at our limit for Aussies now (bar some gems we uncover with some form of link to not count against any quota that may be in place). Grima has some players signed that haven't been announced yet, so lets see what happens.

On Caro though, perfectly capable of helping us finish in the top 4 of the Championship - which is all you need to get into these play-off qualifiers.

I disagree, I don't think he's even a top half Championship player. RL is a brutally honest sport, even at the level below SL. I don't think he has it and would rather he wasn't in our squad next year.

Would definitely take Caro for next season, and as for Dixon I presume he'll leave but just thinking to myself who would want him.

Who needs a winger?

Omari needs to find some consistency, he's got all the tools to be a SL standard winger but his performances can be erratic from one week to the next

halfdan, think you have got it right with Dixon, the injury obviously was a bad one, when he comes back it is going to take a fair while to get back to where he was, if he ever does!!!
As for Omari, I would have no problems with him coming back and putting a London shirt on.

Being fast is not all the tools you need to be a SL winger. Will Sharp wasn't as quick, but he looked for work non-stop for 80 minutes and made few errors. If you could put Will Sharp's heart into Omari Caro's body we'd have a player.

True.

Whilst I'd have Caro back, he hasn't developed as I thought he might. I still maintain you can become more aggressive and involved as player - even if it's not in your off-field nature - but I fear Caro will always be lacking in those departments.

I agree, I can't think of many players that have developed that aggression when lacking. Karl Pryce could never do it that's for sure.

the problem with caro one week he scores a hat trick against saints and then has a nightmare against Salford it seems once he makes a mistake he doesn't recover and gets worse as the game goes on and he has been dropped this week so wont be playing against you

Caro has been offered a contract . widnes and Catalan may also be in the mix aswell as a couple of Union clubs.

He has the skill but maybe not the desire.

Dixon to Hull FC

Really?

Only what i've heard. I still think salford, but they may not have the space on the cap.

You know that for sure Willow? I for one hope he signs
