Keeping fit for us until next season ?

Doesn't sound like it....

Catalans Dragons CEO Christophe Jouffret believed that Inu, who has been strongly linked with a move to Hull FC in 2016, will give the Dragons a timely boost.

"We are delighted to sign Krisnan," he said.

"I’m certain that a player with his experience and skills will be appreciated by our fans at the Gilbert Brutus Stadium who I am sure will love seeing him play.

"After his recent stint in rugby union at Paris with Stade Français, the former Canterbury player will provide a timely boost for us to the end of the season.

"We have signed him until the end of the season but if this period is successful, we will consider a contract extension for the following season's."

Good lad. I hope he actually said that.

Anyway, apparently Inu's only played 6 games this season. Bit odd. Regardless, we desperately need 1-2 quality centres.

Thats one that got away.With the lifestyle in South of France he wont want to come to Hull now for 2016.
Its fine having a decent set of forwards but no strike or pace in the centre positions is definitely holding the team back.
At the moment Talanoa is our best centre and the only one who can make a break.
Don't like the idea of going into 2016 with two small wingers Naughton and possibly Lancaster.We will get bombed to death

Re: Rumours Rumours everywhere : Tue Jun 16, 2015 7:42 pm  

Depends if he a big contract offer from hull vs a possible deal from Catalans, then he would be a fool to turn hull down as he could get injured or not play well for them and not get a contract offer and we might have spent our money elsewhere.

I would have thought if he was staying there it would have been a longer contract than the end of the season.

Perhaps Inu has signed for Catalans as we've pursued a different option

Why would you assume that if we've lost Inu we'll just not bother recruiting anyone else? Random.

There is talk of Kirisome Auva'a, but doubt he would get a visa.

I'd love to sign hodges for a year.

Re: Rumours Rumours everywhere : Tue Jun 16, 2015 7:48 pm  

Thing with Catalan is when everybody is fit there would be some decent players missing out so Inu would be a bit of a luxury signing for them. Unless of course any of the following are leaving.
Oldfield
Tonga
Cardace
Pomeroy
Gigot
Yaha
Duport
Pala.
Think they're well stocked with that lot.

Do you think Hodges would come half way round the world to sign a one year contract with a SL club even at 33?

Campese did.

Id give him a one year deal with another year as option if he plays so many games.
