The short lived one anyway.

Any serious Souths interest and he'll be flying home within the month.

Yes he looks a really good prospect and thought we were nailed on to sign him.
Let`s hope he`s not another Walmsley.

Perhaps but I think he'll cut his teeth over here,but more in reference to the Player signing for Wire Sam has the credentials to develop him more than Smith per say.

If you were a young Prop, and were told by a club coached by one of the most iconic props of the last 20 years that they wanted you to join them and develop under his coaching, what would you do?

Especially if he says it is their year

Yes people have the right to say that but for mine I think there are people who call themselves Rl fans but are ready /happy to put the boot into a young English coach who gave his all for his country and is a proud Yorkshire man and his family have produced the best crop of players we've seen in years personally I hope he is as good a coach as he was player.

What actually happened with Walmsley?

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Thu Apr 04, 2024 9:46 pm  

I think Okoro has some work to do on his game, but this is now Walters gone, missed Eseh to Wigan, missed Okoro to Wire… and we still look light.

To be fair what we really need is a proven performer / more complete player rather than a project.

Looking more likely we’ll have to sign from Aus.

We still had Ian Kirke at that time so didn’t need him.

We already have our project, it's Kieran Hudson. We didn't really need to sing Eseh or Okoro, we need someone who can come into the main 4 rotation as the leader, not someone who can be prop 6 or 7 and play half a dozen games a year max. If that means we wait until next year so be it.
