He qualifies through for a British passport through one of his parents, can't remember which.

Who is he?

According to the RL press this week, Wire will be getting Waterspout. Which is probably just as well as we could do without another 30 year old in the team. As it is our squad average will probably rise to 25 next year. Old men.

He's a 28 year old second rower from West Tigers. He's big for a second rower though and works exceptionally hard from what I've seen (limited) of the NRL. The Royce connection is there so could be a chance in it.

If he doesn't get selected for NSW in Origin 3 there is a very good chance we will see him in an England shirt come the 4 nations.

Don't we have enough second rowers though? Or perhaps the policy is to get TP replicas? Mobile big blokes who can play second row and prop, that is.

More than likely, seems we're heading that way. To be quite honest, with being full on the quota and more than likely going to be having a good chunk of cap available, he'd probably be a very shrewd signing. One of the best forwards that would be available anyway.

Makes sense. Seeing as I haven't a clue who he is then I'll take your word for it!

If this is true, he is an exceptional player and should be signed instantly. He plays loose forward for the West Tigers. His cardio is off the charts, a tacking machine with huge metres, an 80 minute player none the less. Just what we need with loosing Jammer to the DOGS. Big fan of this guy (watched him play at Mt.Smart a few times) and there is talk that he could be willing to play for England in Four Nations. He was asked in an interview by Beau Ryan (Tigers teammate) on the Footy show and confirmed as much.

He has British passport so no quota, get him signed ASAP if available Eammon and Royce.
