Elima is the French captain - if we're signing internationals that's fine by me.

In that case, I reckon a fair few of the Ireland squad would be willing to come to us.

jesus christ, that is optimistic....... if thats your idea of a "top" international captain, then i dread to think whos the worst

So you don't think he'd be a good signing then?
Plus where was it stated that he is a 'top' international captain?

Heard Chris Heigheton (?) from west tigers and Jack Reed from Brisbane wouldn't argue if true but will wait an see.

Elima would be good signing imo as Fc Baldy says we need a nasty bar steward in the middle and would bring experience to the sqaud only concern is his indiscipline.

Did read that Jamie Shaul in the under 21's has signed a full time deal with us as well might get a look in at full back this year the way were going.

Can't see us bringing in another centre unless Arundel is considered a backup, particularly not one of Reed's quality.
Besides unless he has a burning desire to return to England then I can't see Reed leaving the NRL.

Nor another back rower.

Wonder if we are in for Lovegrove and McDonnell aswell as bringing in Watts? I doubt McDonnell but the other two....

Of the three, I would prefer Lovegrove.

Think it could be him and Watts.

Why have you heard we are signing two rovers players or something? If we got lovegrove,watts and elima not sure Nrl prop would come aswell?

we definately offered mcdonnel a contract

The forwards we've been linked with upto now watts , lovegrove , elima and even pitts can all play in the back row as well prop . Could maybe sign all 3 as well as a nrl prop if tickle goes as well . Manu Moa omeley tickle out , 4 in .

this proposal to have quick, mobile forwards that can play either in the front or back rows is all good and well, if you have a couple of big, impact props to complement them. Otherwise the bigger packs in SL will have them for breakfast.
