Just mentioned on another thread, anyone take Beinek from London as a back up front rower for next season?

Thoughts on ikivalu as a centre for next season? I've not been massively impressed with him from what I've seen, but maybe new club may bring more out of him?

Ikivalu hasnt stood out but seems to be more a quota place issue that is forcing him out, lots of comings and goings in Perpignan

Bienek was never given a chance last time, hard to say if that was just we had a strong team or wethther we just didnt rate him

Bienek has one thing a lot of our younger forwards don't and that's size, I'd definitely have him back next season, he seems to have matured and has a good engine on him.

Not keen on either.

Only London players I think could do well are Rourke (but we are OK at FB, Leyland as back up (but would rather develop Charles) and Basett (but he is too old and a quota player).

Ikivalu would be similar to Opacic, very uninspiring IMO

Only played 10 games this season and averaged only 60m a game off the back of 8 carries average per game. Also missed 10% of the tackles he's attempted. Not sure what he would add TBH although his stats are better than fash's which are pretty poor.

Think it was a Balmforth type situation. Coaches for some reason brought him in then fannied him about. In the team one game out for five. Having said that There’s a reason he’s back at London, didn’t he go to Cas after us and did nowt there? Never go back. I wouldn’t want him back.

Milford would have made a good fullback in SL as you say he has ability but most of the time I’ve seen him at halfback he’s been awful and seems to have little impact on games. He’s always managed to get big contracts at clubs so he’d expect a big wage. I’d avoid especially as he must be 30 plus now.
