sounds like our type of guy, still young and something to prove. These type of players seem to do well at Wakey.

Never heard of him, but he looks like a big unit... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renouf_Atoni

He would be perfect for us.
The only problem is, he's still good enough to get a decent gig in NRL.
Hopefully he sees us as a way of enhancing that and wants to play with Proctor.

43 games for Bulldogs. Didn't come off at Roosters. Maybe just right for us. Guy with something to prove.

Looks to be handy, fairly versatile and mainly used as an impact player.

Reading reports it’s said he’s been mainly a starting prop doing long minutes.

Looks like he can also cover 13 too.

Hopefully he’s been secured by Trinity and it’s not another Lisone experience……

peeveds me of we do the hard work the papers gets to know so it goes out in print some one comes in and out bids us .Is it just us it happens too .Every other club seam to sign a player be for the papers get to know

He hasn't started as a prop all year? Hasn't played any NRL this year and started 13 games at loose forward in the NSW cup plus one off the bench, averaging 45 minutes a game. Probably classed more as a modern day 'middle' rather than an out an out prop although he has played nearly an hour on a couple of occasions it the NSW cup this year. The vast majority of his NRL appearances have been as an interchange player, mixing between prop and loose from memory.

To be honest i’d have thought the biggest risk is whether he qualifies for a visa given his lack of first team games over recent times.

Unfortunately that’s how things go from time to time alegend ,we’ve never been in a position to outbid our competitors, but fingers crossed this time as there only seems to be a couple of teams left with any space left , so it puts the odds more in our favour than a month or so ago .I’m sure if or when the ink is dried on the contract we will get an announcement from the club, that’s if it isn’t just another players looking to enhance his position in Aus .

Hope you right Kettykat but we do miss out a lot Sound a fair replacement for Dave

He’ll be a good addition ease him into the squad.
If he’s been anywhere near the roosters setup he’ll be able to play super league.

Right size, weight and age but at 27 he hasn’t secured more than a handful of 1st grade appearances and is coming off major shoulder surgery. He might be a great signing, maybe now is his time and he’s ready to take a lifeline over here but he’s a risk

Here's a couple of clips of him at Cantebury https://fb.watch/gWpbW8QI7O/ https://fb.watch/gWpdzQeSCb/

Good player… hope there’s something in this!!

Like Davis Fifita then?

Agree, but then he's the same age as Fifita was when he signed and Dave had only played sixteen first grade games for Cronulla.

IF Atoni has signed let's hope he turns out to be a similar 'risk'.

They are all risks physically. Mentality wise, that's a coaches call.

No they don’t.

You’re working on the totally wrong assumption that we were ever after these players in the first place. 99% of the time it’s total guesswork from bloggers desperate for click bait.

From what I gather not one of the NRL players mentioned so far were anything other than agents using our name. At the end of the day if we ask an agent who they have available doesn’t mean we are interested in any of them.

If we all worked on the basis that nothing gets put onto this forum until it’s 100% correct , what a boring site it would be . Nothing wrong with a few names being banded about ,even if they may be pie in the sky ,and one or two rumours to keep us interested in the club and game and while these long winter nights away ,after all that’s what forums are for isn’t it ?

"From what I gather" from where?

Did we not say that we had no interest in signing Proctor unless of course it was a different one.

Yeah, that's what Willie Poching said back in July.
