London bronco's have signed Israel Eliab

All these half backs that have been mentioned on here recently.

What kind of half back do we need.

Personally, I think we need one not just to provide cover, but also to provide competition.

This could be the difference of us being a middle 8 club, and the possibility of being a top 8 club. For this to happen, I dont think we want someone who is 18 or 19, but someone who has a bit more experience.

However, it will all come down to what room is left on the cap

The last line of your post I think will be a factor if we do sign anybody.

Wonder if it'l be Joe Keyes with the Broncos signing a half back that Trinity are bringing in? Him and Jason Walton last ones coming in?....

Our half backs all ways needed strengthening and a young keen alternative could be just the ticket.
It's more of one for the future than a full blown alternative but that could be tested.
It also shows the club's progression . I would have thought a 2 year contract at least would show commitment to an outright signing.

He was offered, did not accept, then offer withdrawn. Shame, good player, but the way he behaved at the end of last season was very poor! Move on.

He is a good skillful player but painfully slow last season. Iin particular when returning a kick he seemed to virtually walk it back, making very poor/average kicks into very good ones and pinning us in our own half.
It could be just because he had not got full fitness back after his holiday in RU, or it could be that he has just lost his pace. If its the former, then Hull may have picked up a bargain. But if its the latter i think SL is just too quick for him.

No idea of what went on with him last season so wont comment.

Very happy that he has been replaced by BJB, definitely strengthened in that position.
