He is the same size as Liam Watts, he could well do a job in the front row for us.

He's never played front row according to his stats.We should sign an out and out top front rower if not then wait until one becomes available.

Hull are in talks to sign Benji Marshall on a huge marquee contract. They obviously don't see Connor as the solution at stand off by the looks of it.

Apparently Marshall isnt keen on the opportunity to come over here

Brad Takairangi linked with us now

He has been most off seasons. Would be happy with that signing.

Has good pedigree and played the the NRL consistency over the last 10 years (180 games in 10 years or so).

Is also utility and can cover centre/back row/halves - which we need.

Do we need anymore backrowers and centres.If he were to sign then we would need to sign a British prop.

Takairangi would have been a good signing for the quota spot we gave Thompson.

Why would he? Isnt his mrs some kind of well paid TV star?

Daft on both fronts, him for coming, them for paying.

Connor would be a better signing for us.
Play him at FB until Walker is fit and move him or Walker to the halves later.
2 more props and that should do us.

Daniel Alvaro from Parra is the latest on Twitter.

Has an Italian passport for not a bad option.

He looks a decent size - 5th choice Para prop not what I had in mind but if we could get him on reasonable money and he might not count on quota... hopefully we will have something definite to announce before Christmas either way.
