It wouldn't be a replacement for Hendo though.

Southern is the ready made, hard-hitting, hard-tackling replacement for Hendo.

Beyond that, it's not a case of replacing players, as much as improving the overall quality of our squad. No an "either/or", it's "plus."

Maybe but the previous poster used hendo/Ali.

I just don't see any value or an improvement in signing Ali, other than from a press exposure point of view. Yes he's been a great player and could still turn the odd game but value wise, not for me.

Signed and sealed... Confirmed Wednesday, Can't wait for next season

wheres the confirmation ?

Chances were going to be running with 8 imports next season, I know it doesn't bother most people but it disappoints me when as a sport we're trying to reduce overseas players.

At least Lauititi offers something none of the home grown players offer.

Its not wednesday yet

well how dos he know if its signed n sealed with no confirmation durr

These imports are a temp thing until our young players get up to speed in super league, then the club will bring more local players through at a more slower pace, rather than rushing them in...

Trust Gelderd End, he'll be bang on the money, I know this for sure. Great signing

Well Im a happy man then !! bring on next season woooohoooooo

I am not gonna lose sleep over the number of overseas players we have.

We are simply following the rules.

It does bother me that AS A SPORT, we aren't doing more to reduce the numbers. If cricket can limit themselves to 2 non English players per club, why can't we???
