From what I've heard, the club are confident in the S&C/medical team that they can keep Trueman fit. Catalans said the same about Johnstone and seem to have done a decent job. In the documentary about him, one of the Catalans staff said they'd given him a bespoke training plan, I don't remember the specifics but it made sense. Just from the YouTube interviews I reckon we've a elite backroom team as well.

Been reported that we are chasing Seth Nikotemo a back rower at Gold Coast Titans.

Never heard of him, but loving that fact we’re going after young clearly talented hungry young players. Powell and Mills have got it bob on so far so hard not to trust their judgments.

acertainsomeone will be along shortly to complain.

Sounds like if we get him it will be impressive. Part of the titans development squad this year. Played 14 for Ipswich and been standout. Represented state at various levels in youth grades and big things expected of him. He just has a lot of big players in front of him which has opened the door.

It’s a signing that I can get behind. Similar to Boothroyd in a way I guess.

It would seem this closes the door on Parcell for this season if we are looking for a second row. Would imagine we are hunting a long term replacement at left second row for Ashurst.

Seth Nikotemo played the full 80mins in the second row for the Ipswich Jets v the Sunshine Coast. Falcons yesterday in the Hostplus Cup

The Jets lost 32-16

How did he perform?

Boothroyd also looks the part in second row too. Had a very good game today. Would be happy to see him extended.

Didn’t go today but really glad for boothroyd, he’s had a torrid injury hit season which is really unfair if he’s playing for a contract for next year.

Will have caught Powells eye today especially first half….

Great to hear. How was Vagana

Didnt play big minutes.. but the ones he did…. You could tell he was on the pitch …. Eased his way back in with some strong runs..

Could he be an alternative to Parcell https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/ru ... r-29851969

Vagana has a big future but I think all the signings this season have been excellent.
I'd like to keep them all!

And we are. Boothroyd may be the only exception but the lad also looks like he is a good player in the making capable of SL. The recruitment of overseas this year has been stellar.

Levi would be a superb signing. Never seen him have a bad game, and doesn’t seem like a disruptive character either (not that Parcell does either) which I feel could be really important going forward

Tom Johnstone and Mike McMeeken both named in Shaun Wane's 31 man England squad for the autumn Internationals

I’d expect both to play too.

Marshall scores try’s but he’s not on the same level as TJ bringing the ball out and creating opportunities for himself and others. It’s clear to see why he hasn’t been selected till now. Still a good winger though.

Mckmeeken back in second row again tonight.

It doesn't make a difference but they'll both be still classed as Catalan players when the game is played

That’s true but I will support them as they’re incoming.

Watching the Catalans game. Keeping an extra eye on Mckmeeken.

Just a thought but is Bateman still available?

I know we are chasing an edge forward but he would be a solid signing and it would leave the door open for someone like Parcell.

I would imagine recruitment is pretty much done though by now.

Still very interested to see who we have signed and re-signed.

Must be about 6-8 to announce at least.
