Wouldn't completely rule us out - heard a few weeks back we have signed an NRL forward but no name given.

Tongan - so Ma'u could have tempted him over, and of course Fitzgibbon is with the Roosters.

I just can't see us throwing marquee money at him

Yeah I see the salary as a complete non starter, he's on over £300k in Aus. I can't see us stumping up that much for him.

Ah Mau played with Satae and Sao at the Warriors. And would've played for Samoa with Sao. Isn't Motu Tony still at the Warriors too?

I'm sure we'll find out soon enough

Two year contract extension for Brad Fash.

Deserves it. Had my reservations about him at the start of the year but he's been good.

Seems to get through more work with ball in hand this season.

Happy with that, valuable member of the squad, who is very fot and consistent.

Hopefully a prop and hooker next along with the rest of the renewels.

We've apparently signed two forwards for next year, one from Aus and the other is from 'over here'. I got the impression from someone that its a French based forward we've picked up.

Not sure on Toulouse contract situation, but these are the Dragons OOC forwards:

Jason Baitieri - Leaving and end of season
Lambert Belmas - recently released by Cats
Alrix Da Costa - Not offered a new deal
Benjamin Jullien
Sam Kasiano
Michael McIlorum
Paul Seguier
Joel Tomkins

Jullien and Seguier would be handy pick ups

Kasiano has stalled on re-signing for Catalans. Big mate of the Tank who has maybe put in a good word.

Amir Bourouh leaving Wigan at the end of the year. 20 year old hooker. Never seen him play, any good?

I'd be more inclined to think its a British/French guy unless we're losing another overseas player.

Don't know a great deal tbh. He looked lively when Wigan played Wire this week, but he only got a cameo appearance.

Salford bound is the rumour.
