So its revealed clay from parramatta a hooked who isn't on quota 21yr old kiwi his granddad played for Kr.. and ex Huddersfield player josh Johnson 22 a forward could be done by Swinton game. So they would jot take up a lot of the 600k we have left on cap. So still room for more

They're not going to be on much let's be honest. Dockar clay exempt from quota too

Dockar-Clay would still be non-fed trained.

His grandfather was one of Rovers best players of the immediate post-WW2 period, and is, I'm pretty sure, the player pictured wearing a scrum cap on the cover of 'The Robins' official history (on the left, below Paul Fletcher). Captain of the Rovers team that beat Australia in 1948, you can read about him from p171 of that book.

Well I heard he once took a lollipop from a kid in the playground so I would say he's pretty mean.

He's only around 5'6" though.

Hopefully Mild Rover will do some analysis on the BMI of Superleague hookers over the past 20 years and clarify for us.

Sorry to steal MR's thunder. I was digging around for an English equivalent to ZDC and thought of Paul McShane at Cas for comparison. He is 1.68cm tall and weighs 81kg, so an inch shorter and a stone lighter than ZDC, making McShane an anorexic shortarse by comparison.
