USA's Les Soloai has been linked with a move to a Super League or NRL club. The rumour being that Salford, Widnes and Wests Tigers have shown an interest. He is one of the US nationals in the squad, being from Hawaii.

The BBC website has him down as being a Featherstone player, but I don't remember him playing there.

He signed for Fev last year but then couldn't get a visa so never actually played for them.

Well that's a worry. Was there a reason for him not getting a visa, Eastwood/Bird style? Or was just down to a question over games played?

Offerdahl looks like he could do a job for us, although I'd be worried at what kind of salary he is demanding.
I would expect that any player agent worth his salt would be exploiting a player's world cup outings to the max. It happens in every other sport that has major international events, and it will happen here.
As long as we aren't paying through the teeth for a relatively average prop, then fair enough.

Not going to be offerdahl, he's signed for north wales crusaders. Great signing for them.

Yep, just seen that. Surprised he's not ended up at a SL side tbh.

If he plays his cards right he will end up at wigan they do have their tentacles into both of the welsh teams.

Soloai looked good when he come on in the games, could be from the other teams there where some decent props on show.

I said jokingly a while back that we should sign Fijian front rower Vunakece. What if we have actually signed him?

Those Fijian props didn't really impress me that much if I'm honest, the Fiji pack is carried completely by the Sims brothers.
Mick Gledhill commented that FC was at one of PNG's games during the group stages, not sure if it was just an innocent tweet or if he was trying to drop a hint. From that PNG pack I would certainly give Mark Mexico a try, he ran the ball in really hard.

I expect that FC has watched every side in the RLWC at least once

Could we be doing a Mexican wave next season at Odsal?

A guy called Mexico would come with his own song too..."It's going to be the greatest show, underneath the sun in Mexico"..
