I think it was a typo though. He surely meant to type "clash"?

I had a similar thought last season, from what I've seen he has some of tools needed for 6, good awareness, good rugby brain, good vision and decent ball handling skills, I'm not sure about his pace but then other people make a good go at 6 without blistering pace. If we don't get somebody in it might be worth seeing how he goes at 6 for the U20's before the 1st team.

I suppose it depends where the coaching staff see his long term future, if they are convinced he could be a top class backrower/Loose forward for instance would it slow that development to try him in a different position at 6? I guess I'll just go with the coaching staff on that one as they have a far better handle on Donaldsons development than me obviously.

Decent shout for consideration though IMHO.

No need to get yer coat

I'm struggling to think of many.

if york city knights dont want him, im sure the bulls should stay clear also.

I note people mention his on-field abilities but off-field baggage. He may have had abilities 5 years ago but I haven't seen him be anything other than a waste of cap space every time I've seen him play since his days at Hull.

There are more with pace I agree, but off the top of my head some 6's that have not had "blistering" pace include Harris, Henry Paul, Cooke, Ratchford and Tommy Martyn. Some of these were greats and had more pace when younger and are not comparable yet playing wise, but I don't know just how Donaldson would compare pace wise, but all I'm saying its not the be all and end all....would help mind.

The natural progression is from 6 to a 13 (unless you play for GB when it's the reverse). IMO Kearney would be a massively better SO with Royston at FB.

Not in a million years.

What does it say to our youngsters if we go and sign Cooke? I suppose the same can be said when the club brings in Aussie imports. Still, no thanks.
