I've been told by a source from We've made contact with Brayden Williame Fijian International who played for Catalans. This source told me about Ruan & Hooley before they were announced. Williame has been playing Union in France bur Rohan Smith has apparently made contact with him about returning too League

Always liked him when he was at Catalans and certainly didn't disgrace himself at St George either. As a player returning from RU would he have some kind of cap exemption?

Because he has played Rugby League in last 5 years I don't believe we will get any sort of dispensation. Unlike when we Signed Eastmond other season.

surely we can fee Austin iff Quota as he qualifies/has a British passport

Honestly think the quota needs seriously looking at. Love to see it at 5 no exemptions except maybe for long service, say 5 years at one club or 8 at more than one club.

Far far too many overseas players in our game.

Despite some of the rumours I'd be stunned if centre wasn't the number one priority. If Prior were to leave that would free up cap and a quota space. My next priority would be an up and coming halfback, as we don't have much depth there and its possible that we'll need to replace one or even both of Austin/Sezer in 2024.

Pity would have been a huge improvement and let’s face it anything is an improvement on nothing

I'm pleased we are not signing Gildart, he's not physically big enough and his defence doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

We do need to sign a starting left Centre though.

So with Gildart announced at the Dolphins, which to be honest I’m glad about because his defence is terrible, I had to try get an update, which I got. A contract was definitely offered but obviously the Dolphins blew that out of the water because ours wasn’t a big one. Williame is on the list and Leeds prefer him, Nene isn’t out of it yet and a shock move for Lafai. I also get the impression with some cryptic wording that Leeds really aren’t happy with Tetevano’s performances. There could be movement there and I will welcome that as I think he is a massive waste and I can’t stand him taking up a quota and marquee.
