It says ex-Manly player.

James Hasson would fit the description. He left Manly last year on a one year deal to join Parramatta. He has played for Ireland in the last World Cup and according to wikipedia he was born in Hillingdon. My recollection was he played second-row in the World Cup but it says he's played prop. I've no knowledge to confirm he is the target I'm merely speculating based on the sketchy profile that was published.

Just to add if it was him and he was keen to give the UK a try then he would be a good acquisition at SL standard. I'd much prefer him over Luke Burgess. Luke Burgess must be about the worst handling prop I've seen.

Good shout BB would definitely fit the bill and is the sort of signing sheens would make.

I don't know much about James Hasson. Would he be a good acquisition?

He's a quality young, big and powerful Prop/Second row. Would be a spot on signing imo.

I can't see it being any of the Trbojevic Brothers as they are seriously talented and have big futures ahead of them in the NRL. Hopefully, it wont be Luke Burgess either. I originally thought he wouldn't be a bad acquisition, but the more I think about it the more I think it would be the wrong move for both him, and us.

Not too sure tbh. But he's young and upcoming so is the sort of signing Sheens is looking for. Looked good on the highlight reel put so can anyone.

Hasson looks like a cracking prospect and I kind of remember seeing him in first grade on Premier, certainly big enough and looks very mobile for his size.

Alas though I'd not sign him as he is another who can't do a highlight reel without e music, he's bound to come over call everyone bro, cuz or uce and have random fingers sticking out in photos as he thinks it makes him look like he's from South Central.

It won't be the Trbojevic brothers... They have Serbian passports... Serbia is not in the EU. However, they will hopefully be in the U.K. at the end of the year representing Serbia vs Wales and then hopefully in the final qualifier game at the Leigh Sports Village.

I think the YT vids are from his junior rugby playing for Cronulla.

Now , to my understanding , even though he is UK born , he played his junior rugby in Aus , so will be classed as Non-Fed trained . So passport or not we will have no room to accommodate.

Sheens and Watson must know a way round it as they wouldn't bother looking if they couldn't.

SEMANTIC point: reported as looking.
