Just throwing a name into the ring here, but we may be after a centre and not knowing whats happening with Turner. Willie Tonga? I reckon he could be tempted away from Parra!

How could you tempt a player whos getting paid as a rep player away from Parra?

Yeah my bad, late night typo.



It certainly would be an interesting sight to see him stretching his legs down the sideline though.

Speaking of Cordoba, how's he doing now because I know he got a pretty bad injury a couple of seasons back.

I remember him getting into a fight in about half the games he played for us, including the derby, which was quite amusing.

With Arundel coming and IF Turner stays then along with Yeaman we have three centres so we won't be signing an overseas centre.

Has this been announced?

Can't announce it until Spetmeber can we? presume there will be a compo payment for cas at some stage

No, like Jake says they can't announce it yet.

Guy I was talking to last night said we're trying to sign Lopini Paea from Catalans. He'd be impressive next to Sam Moa!

Got told a few weeks ago he could be linking up with his brother at Rovers.

rovers bound apparently

Nah, we can announce it if it had have happened. IIRC we announced the signing of Sean Long around may/june time.


The ruling, I think, is that you can't approach an OOC player until September unless the player's club has given you permission to approach the player beforehand.

So the only way we could have signed Arundel would be if Cas have given us permission to talk to him and he has accepted.

To get rid of Turner and bring in Arundel would be foolish, IMHO.

But having both, with Yeaman, would be great. 3 good players and competition for places to make sure that we get the best from each.

If that's the case then we wouldn't be getting rid of Turner...

Agreed it would add more quality depth to the squad though.

Soliola signed for 3 years









With Saints

I would imagine Arundel would demand more money than Turner too.

Due to the salary cap I dont think you could afford to have Yeaman, Arundel and Turner all on the roster.

If anything it should be a straight choice between Turner and Whiting (should Arundel sign) to be resigned, which is a no brainer in all honesty.

I recon thats a shout too , mind you to pull him away from current rep involvement and his current standing in world RL maybe a million quid a month and Beyonce and Kylie as a three up every weekend may just sway his mind set if in his contract, anything less may just blow it for me

Exactly....Whiting every time and are people getting carried away with Turner because he scored a hat-trick v dobbins???????

Turner is and has been for a while a quality player that will only keep getting better ...

Not for a while he hasnt....still not convinced about him against better class of centres.

Repetition does not make this any less of a myth.

Hes played well in every game since coming in for yeamo,scored a fair few tries aswel plus his deffence has improved,give credit were its due mark.
