Wouldn't cost much on the cap, and has huge potential.

Now I HAVE heard this name mentioned, not in rumours but he gets talked about a lot in that league.

That being said, it would be nice if okoro made a couple of 21 man squads this year granted that would mean we were down on numbers, but I'd like to see him on the field.

Just read Fitz could be back this weekend, if he is i hope we use him off the bench and just spell him for 20-30 mins. Let him have a blast but just enough to prime him and give him tge week to recover. Massive boost to get
him back now
I wonder if Okoro is a future replacement for Bullock? I would like to see him play but can't see it this year?
I'll have a nosey at Big George
Also i'm still hoping we re-sign Wood, as he's a tough forward who does a decent job and would be great as cover to rotate our forwards

Agreed. I thought we might have at least seen Okoro in the 21 by now. He was an interesting signing as a 'potential prop of the future' as he wasn't our first choice. It was Sam Hall at Castleford. I was told it was going through, then things went very quiet and Okoro was announced

I know it's a showreel, but there are some impressive post-contact metres being made in a lot of those clips.

Daejarn Asi Doing the rounds he's coming here next year. Half-back from Parramata, very much doubt we need 3 half backs though so not sure there's anything in it?

By all accounts we have signed Oli Leyland for next year, although not confirmed. I wouldn't read to much into the Asi roomer

Whilst we're talking Oz imports, if you could have 3 players currently in NRL now, salary cap no object, who would you have?

For me it's Herbie Farnworth (centre), Stephen Crichton (centre) & Jerome Luai (half back)

Re: Recruitment rumours and links : Mon Sep 02, 2024 10:17 am  

Hammer (full back), Stephen Crichton (centre), Jarohme Hughes (half).
