Once again I didn't say he didn't have any coaching experience, I asked if he had any. Or I said I DIDNT know he had any.

It doesn't really matter to me who you bring in, I was more interested in Shentons coaching background rather than your academy.

Looks good on brief highlights, but that could be said about most players.

Looks like a gamble signing, seem to be doing a lot of that recently, you have to be disappointed if we use our one quota spot on this type of player, I know that we may get more quota spots available, but at the moment we have one.

here we go then - space ship type thing seen over Hull last night and media say it’s a US rocket ship

mmmmmmm well the exact same ship and shape etc was seen over Sydney and the media told us it was a Chinese rocket

so both China and US send same rocket same day ?? same shape

mmmmmmm i’m no conspiracist but this is uncanny

He looks dynamic for sure, but as you say he will do in a 5 minute montage.

If we can sign him plus Peats I'd be happy.

It would mean losing Ma'u though, and play Lovodua as a 13/9 interchanging with Peats.

Satae, Peats, Sao, Savelio, Lane, Lovodua // Taylor, NF Prop, Cator, Another

That feels a bit more balanced to me, with plenty of size and dynamism in the middle of the field.

I think signing young overseas relatively unknowns is a much more succesful recruitment strategy than signing well known 30+ year olds. At least he shouldn't be carrying injuries and has the potential to improve.

we really are playing catch up.Pearsons outburst will once again like in 2018 come back and bite him.
We need a front row,Hodgson said we need a front row months ago yet if true we are looking at using our only quota spot on a rookie utility player.
Can only assume they are desperately trying to move Fonua on but lets get the priority in first

Re: What now? : Tue Sep 28, 2021 3:19 pm  

I reckon we've signed a front row using the Faraimo Quota spot, back When Hodgson said he needed one.

My guess is Leeson Ah Ma'u

Time will tell, we're making steady announcements now probably building to announcing a signing ready for pass sales..

I think it’s a fair shout to say that Hodgson had used the past year looking for a forward with the knowledge of Faraimo’s quota spot being available to use. It may explain why we never saw any addition even as a temporary measure
