Not saying he isn't a cracking player but for injuries he's more at risk than say a 25 year old

I like Carvell and wouldn't be against signing him if the deal was right for us. But I'd surprised if we’d get him, without putting fwd a better deal than quite a few other SL teams. The success of any such deal obviously would then be against how much game time we’d get from him versus wage. As we all know so well with O’Hara, age can catch up to you - despite having a good appearance record prior to signing. Then again, look at someone like Andy Lynch, more or less still going strong @ Hull, despite being well over 30 now (granted his inj record has been pretty consistent tho’).

Carvell for O’Hara wouldn’t be a bad outcome in real terms but he’d be no replacement for Paea though. Truth is, we will may have to sign up to 3 front rowers. CS’ signings to date by and large have been pretty good, so I’d like to think he’s got a few candidates in mind home/abroad.

Forwards are a fair bit easier to replace than say a half back and by and large SL has produced better props of late than aus. Can't remember to many 'big name' props who have come over and done that well.

I like paea and certainly this year he's been outstanding but I'd still like to see a prop with more minutes in him at Rovers. I was very critical early in the season of the short spells paea and Mika were doing.

Carvell is Bradford bound luckily for us.

Zane Tetevano - Kolpak (Cook Islands), came through the grades at Newcastle, second row, prop or lock - I mean loose forward. OOC.

That's my amateur sleuthing done for the day.

Championship - England or Crossley at Fev, Ambler at Halifax?

Carvell is still quality.
Newsflash pal we are not a cash rich club and may well have to dig deep to unearth some hidden gems so backward steps it is.

Gone t'Bratfud. Lock it.

Keith Mason ?

Carvell wouldn't be a bad signing for you for a year, I think 2 would be pushing it unless it was on based appearances during his 1st year.

Was easily one of Wires better players when we beat them at HJ last month and seems to be having a good run of games at the mo.

Would do for me on his day still a good prop , depends on what he wants though.Would go well with Fakir from Catalan,ifwecan get them both for same cost or near enough Paea was wanting will do me good business willalsohelp bring on the kids

But you've already been told,'HE HAS GONE TO BRADFORD'

Hudge shot the Carvell stuff down pretty conclusively
