He's a strong running kid with a big future bit still very raw. We'd be sorry to lose him.

Thanks for this. He does look a big strong lad. I'm happier with this sort of recruitment than splashing out on a potential has been. Do you know his current injury?

He looks a good prospect. We have a few prospects.

However would you not agree we need a performant prop for the now?

It took too long to get Kasiano off our books, and consequently we missed out on Mikaele, but I too think that we will sign a prop from the NRL before the end of this season.

He's got a broken jaw. It didn't need an operation - just waiting for it to heal. Could be about 4-5 weeks.

Yes I'd like one who can play this season too. Because we sign a 20 year old prospect it shouldn't mean we can't carry on looking for others. Mind you 20 year olds should be getting a bit of game time now e.g. Wood, Holroyd

I am more than pleased with our youngsters although i do wonder if Thewlis has a lack of self confidence for a winger. Perhaps he would be better away from the touchline. I think for these next two games that Wrench would be a better centre option with Tai in the pack or coming off the bench.

In honesty I’m not sure I would trust Tai’s defence in the pack until he has a lot more game to me under his belt.

Didn't Tai have a few problems with his aerobic fitness prior to the season? He might find life a bit tough nearer the middle.

Okoro looks to have an offloading game too, which will suit Burgess.
