Or a utility spine player

Lot more sense in that get shot down but still think we are poor there

Think that's a fair comment tbh...

We are week at half, no doubt about that. Lino puts in great effort buy lacks creativity, Gale is at the end of his career and Lawford looks promising but is only a kid. We're not far away from seeing Liam Hood in the halves, particularly with Liam Kay injured.

Duel reg would give us options, if Rocky isn’t getting games there is 0 merit in him playing reserves.

Jack Farrimond is a youngster who should have a huge future in the game who could also join us.

In one of the recent interviews Powell made it clear that discussions between Wigan and Wakefield had been had regarding who they anticipate will be available and whilst to a certain extent it will be out of our hands if injuries kick in, he will have an idea of who he can bring in.

Don't know if he can get out of that contract so soon or what but he says he's desperate to get back in the NRL, maybe a move over here may get him at least playing SL sooner than the way he's going about it now. No doubt the guy's an absolute unit but just hasn't managed to crack a full-time place in the NRL yet, still, he's only 24. [urlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA1OHr3i0ck[/url

I've heard something along the same lines

Not a bad idea.

Somebody not too long ago mentioned the PNG player Laybutt, can play halves, centre and loose forward. Not sure on him as full back though

Who can play 13 also.

Not too sure on that part mate

Yes I think he can. Another ginger to add to the gang.

This chap?

Is that Ky Rodwell

Yeah that's the rumour from a couple of people. Never heard of him before to be honest.

Seems to be the one doing the rounds.

Is there any articles?

No media articles but now it’s on here I suspect that a certain Facebook page beginning with S will be writing an outrageous article and grand headline saying he’s as good as signed.

Don’t know anything about him myself but we will certainly have what looks like a formidable forward pack.

If we are being honest with the exception of one contributor how many of us knew anything about our recent signings from the NRL.

They will go welll in the mud..

I’ve read the connection to Rodwell on a couple of social media sites and one media web site (although I have forgotten where that was… an age thing!)

Played half a dozen times for the Eels first grade… finished last season in NSW playing lock! Had big wraps this time last year…

He’s done all the junior rep stuff like origin and kangaroos, got coaches player of the year in the NSW team. See what comes of it.

..... and that matters, why?

I bet all of us knew about Proctor. The key is the guy entrusted to make/recommend these signings does, or at least has the time to do research and check backgrounds of these players if he doesn't.

We're in the Championship so we're hardly likely to get established NRL players coming over. What I do like is these seem to be young, upcoming players with a point to prove rather than past it, older players on a holiday.

Spot on. Great post.

Didn't you have about 15 overseas players who did pretty well in the mud when you were in the championship?
