Alternatively Rapana plays on the wing and Ryan Hall finally plays second row

As much as Rapana would be fun to watch we don’t need him.
We need big forwards who make meters and when they tackle they stop the player and push them back, no backs unless someone leaves that we don’t know about , just big forwards…

I really like Rapana but his age is against him.

He tries really hard but can make mistakes due to his enthusiasm. It also looks like he doesn't take any responsibility if he makes mistakes and blames others around him.

Commentators on the Raiders games state that he wants to keep playing but I get the impression, he only wants a contract in Australia.

RCG off to dragons. Heard player blease was talking about was Hunt from cronulla. Sharks got too many forwards on the cards for next year and someone gonna have to go. Also looking at parras stock as well.

Royce Hunt? Would certainly add size. I also wonder if Ese Ese could be tempted away from Hull, he is exactly what we need. I also know we should maybe avoid projects but I’d still be trying for Eseh or maybe even Eribe Doro from Bradford.

Eribe Doro has already been signed by Hull KR for 2025 season.

What's Royce Hunt like as a player? Can't recall ever seeing him play although I must have, because he played in the last World Cup Final.

Looking at Jordan Rapana apparently

Thats got to be a wind up? We cant (wont) be looking at using our gold dust quota spots on a 35 year old winger.
Though I strongly suspect this is just "Leeds are in the market for players" so lets link them to everyone available journo trash again.

Certainly a big lump and aggressive. I’d say marginally fitter than Lisone. In terms of a SL comparison I’d say maybe Mago from Wigan. He’s a solid NRL prop. Wouldn’t transform the pack on his own imho.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Tue Aug 27, 2024 2:11 pm  

No he wouldn't. We really need a starter alongside Oledzki.

Just saw Max Simpson's season is over. Hopefully he's done with injuries, he's already had more than most players have in a career. Must be so hard to keep going.
