Us and Castleford tigers are meant to be chasing this guy.

He plays for Newcastle Knights and is a 6ft 4 16st prop. but thats about all i know about him.

I would have thought the club would be looking more for a HB then a forward, im not complaining as any big prop his size is more then welcome.

Sounds like he's a 'big unit' as Stevo would put it!

Looks like i might have jumped the gun on this . Just read on another site that he might have signed for Cronulla Sharks for 2012...

16 stone seems pretty lightweight for a 6'4 prop. Sounds more like a back-row, there are plenty of backs these days carrying more beef than that. We've got plenty of light weight props, I'd like us to sign another monster like Gaz Haggerty who'll give us some real grunt off the bench. Luke Burgess would give us more beef.

And there was me worrying about my weight! 16 stone lightweight! Thanks pal, you may have just made my weekend!

He is a prop/second-rower and we have been linked with him for a little while now, but this article does label him as injury cursed. www.bendigoadvertiser.com.au/new ... 75316.aspx

I'd prefer Cameron Smith!

Suffered a horrific injury a couple of years ago, check it out Definitely a back rower, cant recall him playing up front. Run of the mill player. youtu.be/cv0hsjaqDYo

The next Nick Kouparitsas

Very average backrower or lock. Hails from the Cronulla area, so wouldn't surprise me to see him heading home.

Wasn't excited when I saw Quins linked with him, and even less excited if he's signed for my team down under.

By the look of the responses on this thread...if he has signed for Cronulla we have dodged a bullet!

Frustrates me to see us constantly aiming at forwards who have played a couple of games at prop (probably as injury cover) but who are mainly 2nd rowers...but market themselves as a prop. I've said it before loads on here...we haven't had a decent forward pack since the Danny Williams and Solo Haumono days.

Please someone who watches the youth teams....please give us some confidence....is there anyone at that level that is actually a large human being? I'm baffled at the number of youngsters playing the game that we still have a tiny pack...I need some reassurance that we have some prospects on the horizon that might actually break a tackle!

That wakey prop the other week (Hickey?) was an absolute monster. Wakey fans slating him for being overweight. If we could get someone like that (and they could achieve a decent level of fitness) it would be ideal.

When he is on, he is on, but when he is out of shape he is like any other large slow monster and he gets found out. He has Irish ancestry and I think he has a two-year deal with Wakefield that would be nullified if and when it is confirmed that they are to lose out in the licences. I wouldn't say no to a streamlined, or at least less tubby and more muscular prop moving down to London next year.

And if he turned out to be another Mark Tookey...........
