just watching magic Broncos v Hull (who look as inept and disorganised team as I have seen at this kevel in a while) Rourke looks a decent prospect, if a little raw... Tbh he looks more like a three quarter to me... big fast and raw boned

Stunned how many ex trinity players are out there

Wow what a try

I agree, he has all the attributes to make a great centre. Even though he is also a good full back

Looks like he could transition to centre.

Seems we are trying to turn Booth into a centre though I think Booth would be a good wing option.

Doesn’t hurt to have plenty of potential around the club. Hopefully we are the right environment to develop them.

Having watched Rourke admittedly on tv he looks just what we need, he’s scored 7 in 7 playing for worst team in super league, good under high ball , a decent bit of size and pace be a great signing for us. We still only have a an announced signed squad of about 19 (if you exclude booth lawford smith ) even adding in Rourke parcell truman plus possibly extending couple existing players we still would only have a squad of about 26 , given what has happened to us over last few years with typically 7-8 of our starting 17 injured for most of season we can’t get enough cover

I agree but there is a lot of versatility in that 19, nearly all can play two positions well. I think Powell has stated that he is looking mainly for multi talents players to help fill inevitable gaps. Used to work for Kear. I accept we need a few specialists, but in the modern game it’s the way to go. I expect a squad of around 28 but with few decent lads on reserve deals.

Could he be of interest to us ? Does anyone know anything about him ? https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/ru ... k-29763169

I heard a rumour today that we are talking to an NRL prop but no names mentioned
