So we should stop paying players when they're injured? And I'm not sure he ever played again after returning to Australia.

No but a bit of goodwill would be to see out contract as we stuck by him

He did see out his contract, we only signed him on a 1 year deal and he went home at the end of it.
Gavet from what i've seen is steady but nothing to rave about.
I'm glad the mole has confirmed it, i messaged him ages ago but got nothing back. Fingers crossed it's not one of those lets sign him because theres nobody else around kind of signings.

He would tick a couple boxes, tough experienced NRL prop forward. At 29 he’s obviously looking to play aboard/Final big pay day, before retirement. I’m sure he would provide a lot of go forward down the middle, although he has had couple serious long term injuries including an ACL. The RL Mole on Twitter has confirmed we are in talks with a prop down under...

Can’t find anything about the Mole saying we talking to a prop unless it’s a very old message,all I see in my link is super league clubs interested.

I can't see the Mole post either.

Dodds was injured I know and it was more unfortunate than anything else but the point I was trying to make is that we havent had much luck signing props from the NRL.

Especially when the UK doesnt appear to have a problem in producing world class props. The future stars are out there, so it's just a case of finding them.

Exactly, we are good at producing forwards it's the ball playing and game management skills that they are miles ahead in.

Then I apologise, I thought he cut his trip short after the injury.

Just realised it can't be James Gavet which i'm happy about if it is a prop coming to us. As he's never played for the Kiwi's only Samoa. I'm gonna go nuts now trying to find out who it is, gonna have a look at test props from the past few years to get excited about
