Oscar Thomas the name doing the rounds on twitter. Would be a very good signing IMO

I'm a little undecided on this, played a lot at stand off for London but he's a full back

Anyway we knew he was signing didn't we

Confirmed as Oscar Thomas.

2 year deal

Would certainly be a decent cover for an injured Gaskell

He's played a lot of Fullback too so could give option of mullaney moving into halves. suspect either/both sjelka and brook will be on their way now.

My inside info was correct

Any good? Cant find much on him, which isnt to good of a sign.

I don't want to be negative, but, I'm very surprised at this and I've seen him play a few times this season

Came up through the ranks at London. Had a short stint in Union, the signed back on with the Broncos until the end of this season. Still only in his early 20's so there's time for him to mature, adding to that he's cover for positions where we've good players with lousy injury records

That's the impression I had built up, and as Ive said elsewhere. I feel he may end up like the likes of Ulugia, Davis, Etu, Peterson etc, Surplus to requirements, very soon. Still, at least thats better than being persisted with. Sheriffe, Worrincy, Sykes, Cough, Uummmm

Got to say he has been playing in a poorish team and stand off is not his natural position, I would say he is more of a runner than a provider

Hope he does well
