We are not going to get a big name nrl prop but hopefully will secure a good calibre of player with similar physical attributes as Ava. Personally I think we should also take a punt on Harrison. He would be minimal cost At 6 ft 4 inches has the right natural size and a year full time would potentially see him add a stone in weight. Walmsley was a similar age and level of experience when he moved to saints. The lad seems to have a good attitude and may develop into a quality forward. This should be to supplement another prop coming in not instead of it. You can't have too many big forwards ots not a coincidence that saints are the best team when you look at their pack.

I agree if we can secure a decent prop then I would think having Harrison as the 6th prop would be punt worth taking.

Happy with Harrison, looked good enough when he played in what was essentially an A team, reckon he could kick on in a full first team environment.

Just hope its Harrison + another rather than just him

I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that fev would want a fee for harrison.granted the fee could be small (or I've imagined it), but not sure he's worth that.

Yeh, I thought Harrison looked ok when he played last season.
He was willing to do the hard carries in games when we were massively up against it.
I’d have him as a back up front rower, but again not sure he’s worth a fee.
Maybe we can do some loan deals to Fev to compensate?

But again, we need a direct replacement for Ava - British or overseas.
Harrison would be in addition to this in my mind.

In that case sign him and loan him back to Fev, with a get out clause if needed.

Allow him to train full time, part time with Fev and the other days with Leeds, that way he'll be developed as a full time player, will get regular game time and will see the requirements needed to make it in SL.

Teams are not allowed to share bubbles in 2021, which is why dual registration has ended.

Makes sense

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Wed Dec 30, 2020 1:56 pm  

Could maybe offer Fev a loan swap deal for Harrison and send them someone like Cory Hall or Jarred O'Connor someone who is young and on the fringe of our squad to allow them to get valuable game time and get a full season or Championship rugby to see if they are ready for Super League. If we got Harrison on loan gives him a full year at us without any fee being payed for long term contract and see if he is ready for Super League and then we could focus on getting another Prop from overseas or SL?
