Championship Imports - Who Will Impress? : Sat Feb 07, 2009 7:56 pm  
I'm just looking at each teams squad lists for the upcoming season, and I didn't realise there were so many players brought in that impressed in the World Cup!

Alipate Niolea (Barrow)
Tangi Ropati (Sheffield)
Menzies Yere (Sheffield)
Trevor Exton (Sheffield)
Waisale Suka (Barrow)
Sevanaia Koroi (Barrow)

I know very little about all of these players! Does anyone know anything? Will any of them make the headlines this year? Are any of them worth putting in my fantasy team?

Also, does anybody know anything about any of Toulouse's players, only Anselme, Courtier and Rinaldi stick out as proven players. Who is to look out for? And again, who would be worth a dabble in my fantasy team?

Noilea is my tip for player of the year. Sheffield have also signed Aaron Groom, who will be a top player if he ends up coming.

Any reason why? Does he kick goals? Score tries for fun?

No, he won't be a good fantasy league player for you :)

Look out for Nick Youngquest when he arrives at Gateshead, 16 tries in 37 NRL appearances is a decent record for a Championship player.

Apparantly Waisale Suka has backed put - http://fijidailypost.com/news.php?secti ... news=21729

Got to admit I was hoping Widnes would have signed one or two World Cup 'stars', but I suppose there is always the danger that none of the players will end up coming and even if they do, whats to say that they will settle or indeed if they will be any good?

Will be interesting to see if the other two Fijians go now. Nice comment he made about not going for the money too.
