I have no doubt that a “big” and a destructive prop will be signed possibly even another lesser known as back up.
Think everyone has to remain hopeful but calm and me for one will get down to renewing my membership

I don't think we need anymore backs. We are covered in all back positions.

Just seen this, and I take Twitter news with a “huge” pinch of salt, but.....

Is Gavet worth a quota spot? And with 1 left, do we think anymore will open up between now and season start? I wouldnt want any of our current quota players to leave with the excetion of probably Lui.

I seen that too, not sure how reliable this source is, he hasn’t really made an impact with the Giants, a bit underwhelming. Kev has just said that we are not perusing Andrew Fifita. Either it’s just rubbish and I need to question my source, but then again they have denied many things before or it’s a keep mouth shut trick. It’s no secret the Sharks want him off the cap.

Not exactly the big signing we were after!

I know GH has been prone to saying no it isn’t happening for it to happen, but Kev seemed to be pretty straight to the point that it’s a no.

Long time to go till the start of the season and I would rather them get the right man. However given that we have only four props, one a teenager and one a more natural 13, I think waiting for a mid season signing is asking for big trouble. It's not like the club haven't had the time to engage with targets.

Agreed. Mid season would be a mistake and also a big gamble

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Thu Nov 26, 2020 1:49 pm  

You cannot enter a season with only 4 props. There will be at least 1 signing, probably 2. Question is more about the quality than if there will be new incoming players.
