Mick Gledhill saying we're after Keven Appo from Bradford. Probably some truth in it as he can't help running his mouth off

I'd be disappointed if we signed Appo and Turpin after making offers to Blore and Watson.

That would be a huge downgrade. I can't imagine our Shopping List read: Blore, Bentley, Appo though

Turpin is efficient, but nothing more, although he played a lot at The Bronco's as a seven , so maybe he's coming for that role. He is defensively a very good tackler and a hard little nugget but not in the same class as Clifford, but who knows under Smith? Appo is a very , very underwhelming signing when the likes of Blore was being discussed and I can't say it has me overly-optimistic, if we are talking about upgrades on our current backrow, I just don't see it with him. Still, got to trust Smith, but maybe we are concentrating our efforts on props for next year, with the youth being given a chance in the back row.

Matt Shaw says a no to Keven Appo

You would have to say that, on paper, using a quota spot on a championship player is both risky and underwhelming.

Having said that, I have watched a bit of Bradford on Viaplay this season and he has looked a standout for them.

Must admit I'd be disappointed if we signed Appo as I don’t think he is any better than the likes of Griffin or Savelio who we haven't renewed and both were not quota players. Appo for me would be just like another Lovodua scenario an ok player but just not worth using up a quota spot on and simply wouldn't be an inspiring signing at all. Could well be his agent trying to improve his deal with the Bulls?

Think Turpin would most likely be a replacement for Houghton at 9, he seems a very similar kind of player.

Mick Gledhill is considered as an attention seeking baffoon on others forums so hopefully he's wrong again.

Turpin offers very little in attack, never been that impressed with him at halfback or hooker, looked at his stats yesterday no trys or assists, don't think he has even made a tackle bust.

I'd rather stick with what we have than sign him personally.

Just reading the tweet again from Gledhill. It all seems primed for him to say Bradford got one over a SL team if/when he extends at Bradford https://twitter.com/TheGameCaller/statu ... _6twQ&s=19

Is now the time we all say we never rated blore, dodged a bullet and wouldn't fit in with the club culture?

Still think there is a chance of Blore, not sure if he was injured or not but didn't make the Wests 17 this week.
