Justin Olam : Sun Sep 03, 2023 3:45 pm  

Couldn't see it mentioned (not specifically anyway) on the recruitment thread, but Burgess made a move for Olam. Seems Olam wants to fight for his place in the NRL though. I guess Tai was the backup plan, unless we are still trying to snare a top centre alongside Tai.

Maybe this was the big target Abe Froman was hinting at?

Apologies if it's already been covered elsewhere.

According to Serious About RL, we've signed Wesley Bruines from Saints as a centre, but not heard anything official (Burgess invllvemdnt when Bruines went over to Oz).
I cant see us getting - or needing - ANOTHER centre if that's the case.

I forgot about the sticky at the top on Recruitment rumours, should have posted there.

I'd assumed Bruines would be a longer term work in progress rather than a first team centre?
