another one

I can't believe Channing is a major target for SL teams. He must have a good agent. He can't even get into our team!

Not true..he's been injured.

As ever, no-one hears about our injuries...all the reviews of last weeks game failed to mention that we had 8 first choice players missing (Millward said we were at full strength!).

The question has been raised in the context of my recommending Kevin Naiqama as to whether the club can find a place for another non-Federation trained player. I don't know the answer to that.

Another issue raised was whether Naiqama as a non-regular NRL player can qualify for a UK visa. I don't know how many NRL games you have to have played to qualify. But Ray Warren pointed out that Naiqama has played 10 first grade games in 2012 and 2013 so far...and scored 9 tries in those 10 games.

Finally, as to Naiqama's availability for a new club, here is part of the transcript of the Newcastle Knights post match press conference with coach Wayne Bennett last Monday nightQuestionIt must be nice to have Akuila Uate pull out and you can bring in Kevin Naiqama and he scores two tries.[/i

BennettKevin's a bit of a victim of circumstance here. He should be an NRL player. He should be playing [NRL] every week.[/i

Bennett then went on to list the star players who were blocking Naiqama from doing so with the KnightsQuestionIs that going to sort of make it hard to retain him at the end of the year?[/i

BennettIt probably makes it impossible. But I accept that. He needs to play in the NRL. I've told hold him that. I want him to be successful.[/i

He is also highly likely to sign for Penrith.

Haha, Kevin Naiqama is not going to come to London. He's apparently going to sign for Penrith.

Made more likely if London doesn't make a bid for him.

Are you his agent? It's not the first time you've bandied his name about ;o)

No, I'm not his agent. Just a huge fan since I first saw him play last year. I think that he could do wonders for London Broncos, at full back or even in the centres.

I don't know which Australians are leaving the club in 2014, but he would be a great replacement.

all of them

After watching a few displays this season, I sometimes think that even I could do wonders for London Broncos in the centres.

Talking of players going, has there been any news as to leavers joiners next year?? Early I know but I thought it may give an indication as to the clubs thinking for the future ie) are we going to seriously look to get a licence when the renewal comes around.

Yeah, and Sam Burgess, Cam Smith and Billy Slater would all do wonders for London, but they ain't coming mate.

Couldn't we tempt Billy with a cameo in EastEnders as Kat's long-lost cousin?
