O'Donnell was in his 3 rd Year for Giants so his deal would have been agreed when HMRC weren't wise to the offset wages - pension plan schemes etc . + the stronger Aus $ over the past few years will have also devalued his contract .
With our current imports, only the players agent & the club will know . but I guess they will arrive with their eyes open finance wise. how they fit in and whether they aclimatize to the NorthWest & SL remains to be seen.

Can anyone say for certain if the Aussies are not allowed to come over and train with us before the visa's materialise or do they physically have to wait over there for the paperwork to be issued before traveling?

Also will they still be training with Manly rather than ad hoc on their own?

rlsea eagles farewell for Mauro & Liam Foranrl

Says in the press they will continue to train with Sea Eagles until their Visas are sorted .
Can't set foot on the Jet until Visa's are in place

Doubt the new prop will be available for tonights game as it's meant to be Griffin, would be a big improvement on what we have and for a season long loan seems like a good option.

According to the Saints Forum we've been linked to Paul Clough , 2nd Row- Prop from Saints
Months Loan

Any prop is better than none. Bring either in...

Could it be the case that we are looking at both? Either of these players would be an improvement on those we have with the possible exception of Macpherson. Either would come in as the first of second best prop in the squad ahead of Jewitt, Boyle, Gledhill, Neal or James.

Ideally we could get both then that would give 4 match day props of Macpherson, Jewitt, Emmitt and Griffin. Vic Mauro could then start in the second row with Dixon on the bench covering the back row positions.

Fingers crossed we can get at least one and better still both.

I thought we was going for crabtree

prefer Haystacks

Seeing as the Morley signing seems now to be dead in the water due to his injury I'd next go for Peacock as again he would add size to the front row, be an on field general and make a decent statement of intent. He might not be the youngest player but for me he'd be without doubt a player who would add the needed go forward and defensive steal for this and next season. Can't really see Leeds selling but you never know until you ask.

Have you been on the magic mushrooms again? Peacock!?

Well here's another one off the list, Griffin has turned us down to fight for his place at Leeds.

We'll see.
