You cannot be serious, all three of those players are exactly what we need, Kopczak especially - he and Amor would make 2 really good props to build a future team around. Elima hurts the opposition, I'll take the odd penalty for a player who does that. Whitehead is a wally but no problem if he' ours.

It's not that I don't rate them, kopzac and elima are not what we are short of in the front row, IMO we need something different to what we have, Raleigh, Wilkes and Amor are very capable we're just short of a wrecking ball and some nastiness.
Whitehead is going to be a good player but again IMO in Kirmond, Mariano, Southern, Johnson, Washbrook and Aiton (who should switch between hooker and loose for me) we are well served.
These additions are a waste of our resources, of Agar doesn't rate Ellis we need to be looking for another hooker, props that fit the above description, a FB or secure Mathers and options at 6 and in the centre three quarters.

Kopzcak's a big lad he'd do for me, would be good to get him in sharpish. Kind of agree about the second row situation though, Whitehead will surely go elsewhere and with our abundance of options in the second row not sure we should be using cap space on Elima. That said would love to see him back

If the SR players we have now are not all staying put, Elima would be a fantastic signing; as vastman says, he's a hurtful player and is not backward in coming forward when things get tough.

He runs good angles and scores tries an all. Would be good to have him back if the jigsaw puzzle that is squad building fits right. At this moment in time there are seemingly more pressing areas we need to address and he wouldn't come cheap

Are you sure Elima is quota?

Elima's big enough to phasing into the front row when needed.

We should be getting in for them asap.

If we make a "public" offer now the administrators (when appointed) may see it as a quick way of raising capital & move quicker.

OE has always been on of my favourite SL players, would love to see him back.

FWIW IF we get good news on the 19th I don't see anyone else at BB as "out of our league". As I've always said: WHEN the sleeping giant starts to wake up a lot of people will suddenly remember they're WTW fans!

I was under the impression he was classed as a WTW developed player.

Nobody gave a damn when we were in trouble they were like vultures circling so its pay back time grab a bargain is what i say

French players aren't classed as quota or non-fed trained.

I meant his wage costs just worded it badly. Unless of course we are intending to increase our spend significantly again.

Third time lucky for Jeffries

We should've signed their top quality winger Rikki Sheriffe before he went to RU
