Jut been on Humberside we are looking at 3 overseas players for next season with a view on signing 1 or 2

Views?

I'm baffled by the whole quota, non fed, etc thing.

Well we need to play the dispensation card at some point

I heard all three have had some time over in the UK on holiday and infact all have neigbours who have lived in the UK. Surely this mean the are free to work here

Joel Clinton
Antonio Kaufusi
Manase Manuokafoa

RH have just reported that we're looking at 2 Tongans and 1 Aussie. All forwards and 1 has played almost 200 games for the North Queensland Cowboys. Another has played SOO and represented Australia and Tonga. Names were given but they hardly roll off the tongue easily. www.cowboys.com.au/default.aspx? ... manuokafoa www.cowboys.com.au/default.aspx? ... io-kaufusi www.broncos.com.au/default.aspx? ... el-clinton

I sincerely hope that they can all play in the back row and also fill in at centre.

Second row and centre. No other position necessary.

did they say when we could be signing these if we do?

Seems like they are all front rowers and with Fozzard and Makali already gone and with Mills out in the wilderness its an area that needs strengthening without a doubt.

Yeah, had a look at the stats and was very disapointed, seem to remember Kaufusi being a decent larker but injury prone.
I don't know anything about the other two, does anyone who follows the NRL have an opinion?

A bit more forward power is required as you state.

two rules to a rumour thread.
-think of the most ridicolous signing you can think of
-include FACT!

after naming the signing

have fun!

Even before Fozzard opted to go back to Saints I personally thought Rovers lacked that bit of explosive aggression from prop.

Kaufusi would bring that IMO.

Barry Humphries at off half, but only if we can fit him on the quota.

FACT!

that would be a below Everage signing

That would the order too. Clinton would be my first choice followed by Kaufusi. Hull were linked with Manuokafoa but from what I have seen of him he does not look anything special although he does have a lot of size about him.

Clinton I have always liked and think he would do very well over here, I love how he plays the game. Kaufusi can be hot or not, also a touch injury prone.

You'll get nowhere with type of Patter-son.

Clinton is a good prop

If you type in Joel Clinton to that video site, there is a video of him getting smashed

Economical with the truth. I mean, he still found his front!

I've seen very little of him, can you elaborate on this?

that is just a train wreck!

kafusi unfortunatly hasnt been the same since he left the storm, clinton though is a good prop on his day on a good contract at the broncos.....saying that though, his face doesnt fit in brisbane for some reason...i always think ashton simms was a better forward to be honest...

If you watch it from the other angle, the guy (number 3) actually headbutts him in the chin

Clinton and Kaufusi would be good signings, don't really know the other guy tbh, but I'm baffled as to how they will all fit on the quota. Other than Fitz who have you got leaving?

Don't ask me, i've given up trying to figure it out
