For Someone of his ability I'm sure we could make room

we were supposed to be fitting dureau in yesterday.

Taylor for Carvell
Dureau for miller all rumours of course

I hope we haven't gone anywhere near Dureau

You know what, that makes sense in what has happened. It seems crazy but what we were doing I could not reconcile. This, makes sense to what has been going on.

Indeed, its seems it benefits both clubs.

Club A has space on the cap and get a player on the cheap.

Club B gain space on the cap to bring someone else in, but have to pay for the privilege

His medical problems with the tumour are thankfully behind him. The injury he picked up at the beginning of the season was due to rule him out for about four months and he now claims he is fit to play.

If he can get through a medical I see no issues in taking him on loan until the end of the season and if everything goes OK any move could be extended.

Remember he won the Albert Goldthorpe medal as recently as 2012.

Sums up your knowledge then.....Quality no7 who will improve us no end.So we shouldn't sign anyone with past injurys

Yup makes sense

Tbh if Dureaus available we have to go for him. It COULD end in tears but as a club who has struggled to attract a decent 7 for years then we have to take the chance

we shouldn't sign anyone who is past it, no, fed up of being the SL nursing home.

Past it......you must be joking surely...I wish I was past it at 27.

Who else in the current squad do you think is "past it"?

Anyone 27 or over who has had a injury

if you apply your simplistic view on things, perhaps.

there really is no debate on here anymore, it has become pointless even reading.

:edit: other than The Dentist's Diary

I would agree, if we were discussing Campese,

Dureau, has had a similar injury to Tickle & Moa, both are ok now.

We should - IMO, take him on loan ,and see how it goes, AFAIK ,there isnt a multitude of available HB's who can steer a team around the park, with a good kicking game.

Also, I would put in a bid for Sneyd, Koukash will accept a fee, same fee he paid for Chase.

I would cream myself over the thought of having Dureau, but, I tend to sympathise with Standee in part. If the above is true, why the hell have catalans released him? Surely it is pertinent. If he is that wonderful, then it makes no sense.
Having said that, it still might be a gamble I would be prepared to take, but if we come out (as might be likely given our history) and announce a 4 year deal it could once again end in tears and damage us irreparably medium term.

I think there is a lot more to it than his injury..I think he has already fallen out with the coach once and not just him,seems as though since Robinson left,things have changed there a lot.

Well, I hope that it is true and we get 2012 Dureau. Would be an answer to a lot of our problems.

Well reading Koukash's twitter feed he has more or less offered Sneyd to anyone willing to pay a fee.

very eloquently put.

it seemed right

I thought I'd read he'd fell out with the coach a while back. Maybe them signing Williams and him being de-registered was the last straw.

Really hope we can sign him, I'd much rather we take a chance on Dureau who has proven himself in SL, especially if we can get him on loan for the rest of the year, than on Campese.

But I've also seen (albeit on Twitter) that we've agreed a 4-year deal with Sneyd and just need to sort out a fee with Salford.

I hope the rumour is right, I'd love us to sign Sneyd, with him being young and British I would expect that AP would be willing to a pay a reasonable fee.

Rather have Dureau. I think he'd lead us around the park better
