cannot find any rooster comments but plenty of NZ Warriors, the most interesting being about his determination to improve, wing centre no 6 back row but probably best at centre. fits FCs utility and project criteria. Sounds as if he has the basic skills and a desire to play. I would be happy if this is the signing.

I think this is the one I found without too much trouble.

thanks

all very early season posts, and looking through the jets match reports he was scoring roughly a try a game towards the end of the season, tho not mentioned in any of the coaches reports as outstanding. Seems to have played slightly more centre than wing, and the occasional 6. so what you would call a utility squad player, if it is him lets see what FC does with him.

Apologies for not trawling through the whole thread, but are you linked with Kafusi from the Broncos?

We were rumoured to be in for him, then it all went quiet (no doubt because of the uncertainties over London's future, as he is still a contracted player I think). Then there was a rumour he was going to the Bulls and then silence again!

We are desperate to bring in an experienced prop and I thought we might have had a chance of Carvell, until it was announced he was going to you, so I was just wondering if you have snapped Kafusi up as well? Having said that if they hadn't of relaxed the non fed trained numbers we wouldn't have had room for him, now I think we do!

Kaufusi is technically still contracted at London afaik. His name was mentioned on this thread a few times, but apparently we were only looking at him when we thought Heath L'Estrange would be leaving. Heath is staying now so I'm not sure we can fit him in under the o/seas quota.
Some Huddersfield fans seem to think they are in for Kaufusi now.

Until the squad is finalised this seems like a bit of a guessing game, so forgetting specific names which positions still need to be strengthened? For my money at full back and on the wing we have sufficient quality and numbers but we are still short at centre, Purtell doesn't do enough for me and Blythe is more of a second rower. In the halves I think Gaskell will be a very strong signing to put pressure on Gale and Sammut and there is always Addy to cover. At hooker we are if anything too strong as I think O'Brien may get slightly fed up of being 3rd choice but hopefully he gets an oppurtunity to step up. At prop I think we need one more in addition to Evans, we were very lucky that Nas and Scruton stayed injury free for the majority of the season, although I am hoping Carvell shows the same consistency he has for Warrington all season. Our second row is for me our strongest area with Bateman, Addy, Olbison, Walker, Blythe and Donaldson, if you add into that the aggression and strong running of Ferguson I think we will have a very competitive pack.

So that sums it up for me, one specialist centre, a utility back (to cover centre primarily) and another prop to cover injuries. Would love to get other people's feedback as to what they think our squad is looking like for next year.

Rumours going around that Curtis Naughton is on his way to Oz. Looked a decent prospect!

His twitter reads

"Just booked a 1 way flight to Oz in 2 weeks #newstart #NRL"

Think it's pretty safe to say he won't be part of the 2014 squad

What is the point in even having an academy system anymore. He's played ONE game for the first team and he's already had his head turned by a scenario that we have absolutely no chance in competing with.
Seriously, it's sh*t like this that just makes me want to pack in watching the sport completely.

Shocking if true.

It's not that shocking, after all what young English player wouldn't jump at the chance for a move to the NRL? It wouldn't surprise me if there's a lot of SL players with a release clause in their contract should an NRL club want them.

It's a sad state of affairs that we can't hold on to the best and brightest in this country, but that's the nature of the beast.

He put the exact same thing end of last season too.

There's a good chance that it's his brother on the wind up.

Having said that, who'd blame him if he did get the chance?

From what I've heard its a family driven move as opposed to him being approached by any NRL club. He looks a great prospect and I'm sure we'll put something in place if he does return to the UK that we get first refusal.

Hopefully somebody with sense would put something like that in any agreement. At least we got 75k for big Sammy, great deal that was considering little Sammy has just gone for half a million.

The squad page says he's contracted until 2015 so that should be the end of the matter.
