If it does turn out to be Sa then I don't see how he qualifies for the New Talent Pool exemption.

So it's not Charnley then?



In all seriousness though, whilst not conclusive but certainly points in the direction that it's Sa.

It is Sa, deals done.

Yeah Sa fits the description from what I was told on Thursday. Still not sure how he would fit in this year but I'll leave that to motu to sort. Would be a good signing 6.3. 16st centre is exactly what we need imo

Sa will take up McDonnell's cap space, so doesn't need to be exempt.

Thought he'd been sacked.

On another note have we lost a member of the clubs board to Leeds yet?

I'd be happy with Sa, can't remember if he's a good wingers centre. Hopefully he is and puts his winger away a lot. One thing is for sure though he'll certainly have better 'hands' then Yeaman

Is this sa's 2nd season in union or first? Looked good at les cats

This is his second at London Irish I believe. But he comes from a union background before been signed by Sydney Roosters in 2006.

3 games in 2 seasons doesn't sound great

oh great, knocking a player before its even announced we have signed him, still that's about par for the course with our signings nowadays

I'm not knocking anyone - as I said, I hope I'm wrong.

Who makes way for Sa ? Not Crooks I hope, he needs to play and has been a decent goal kicker too.
