Sarginson is a player with incredible potential and would be great signing.

He was an absolute turnstyle in the centres, but he is a stand off - if we do get holdsworth, i wouldnt mind Sarginson as back up.

Wonder if he could make the move to Full Back - Defense would be less suspect, chime into the line at will and utilise his abilities

Leave the lad at London, we can't spread the game if they have no local players to get behind.

Why's that then Tommy?

We've had plenty of S.O.O. Players in the past!! Why is it hard to believe we may get another top player for next season? Especially with the backing of Pearson!

There's only Civonoceva that is not going to be playing SOO next season, and I wouldn't want him.

retiring at end of current season isnt he anyway?

not sure, I know in the coverage yesterday they said he wouldn't be playing SOO again.

Yeah mate i am sure he announced his retirement a month or so ago, shame tho because he can still do the business, unless his wife and shoulders are telling him different

Shillington would be just right for me ... i know not even close to happening but didnt someone open a rumour on him a wee while ago too
gotta say though just how good is Cronk , he would win MOS over here just by turning up to the press launch

We've had former SOO player, but not current. That doesn't happen. I'm not sure who you think we could sign who is currently playing SOO and available.

Wouldn't any body fancy a stab at sammut? Would be cheap and Maybe could regather his form showed at crusaders under a decent coach?
Thinks its fair to say we should expect to see a Bradford player here soon, almost certain they're gonna go into administration and will be forced to sell players
Tom burgess would be priority no1 for me however

a man who cant spell his own tats right!! yep fit right in with our gang

TBF, depends on how you look at it. Obviously no player will be a current SOO player whilst they are here, but Jason Smith and Shaun Berrigan were both still playing SOO until they announced their moves to SL, and there have been others at different clubs.

Totally agree with the main point that this will be a thing of the past, though.
