No he is non federation trained therefore on the overseas quota

Nothing in the CooperJohns story according to Dan Tomlinson, club pursuing other targets

Just heard the same.

Never rated him anyway

So we wasn't a month late to the party then

seems that way



Try again next month

Any names in the frame

Killed a few hours this morning

People are trying to pick apart AP's interview, and I can't help but think he has got the numbers wrong.

9 players in, 7 of which we know.
He said 5 coming in from NRL/Australia - 3 of which are announced. Which suggests that the 2 signings we don't know about, are the extra 2 coming in from NRL/Australia - but we don't have 2 quota spots.

I cannot see any English players in the NRL coming to us to make those numbers AP mentioned true. However, Huddersfield have found a non-quota 9 from the Roosters so maybe that is the route.

He also said we will have 5 forwards 6'4" or above next year - Ese'Ese, Pele, Okunobor, Ashworth....who is the 5th?

we need to pay carlos off,was a waste of a quota spot this season and will be again next season.

My personal opinions are that i think the 5th he will be referring to is Damel Diakhate. Currently he's only been on trial with us, so if we offer him a deal he will technically be a new signing. I'm not sure on his height at all, but he looks a big lad so I'm just making the assumption.

I also think the 5th NRL player will be Bailey Hodgson. Local lad who should be fairly cheap and will provide further squad depth.
