When Colbon first got here I thought he looked pretty decent strong running etc but then injuries took over and he spent more time on the couch than on the field.

Don't expect that to change for 2014... won't be long before he admits defeat and has to retire.

Not from the club's official feed I'm guessing

Who is your source?

He's Solomon Haumono's nephew so there's a link with Tony Rea/Broncos there.

Another player being mentioned is Ryan Millard (Fiji)

I am not sure outside backs are what we are desperate for ~ some big go forward 60 min props and decent half backs must be the priority.

Doesn't seem to have any 1st grade experience. Looks fit though.

I believe Ryan Millard is a 5/8, was very impressive in the World Cup.
