AOB would be a cracking acquisition. I hope we are offering Segerayo a deal for next year. Sam Hallas back for a third spell doesn't fill me with confidence.

O'Brien gone to Fax. Quality signing for them.

I'm hopeful we've got someone decent lined up to be 1st choice hooker.

Good signing for Fax, they needed some good news though!!

Probs hallas

Hallas on two year deal.

Soooooo deflated with that. Yes he works hard etc but he's a L1 player sadly.

If he ends up being our Hooker we're completely stuffed. His distribution is painfully slow. He's no where near big enough for prop.

His only position is 13 but when you compare him to Thompson, Baitieri, he's not on their level.

Really really disappointed with this.

Realistically the club isn’t bothered where they finish next year… good to know

Hallas - a really underwhelming signing in my opinion. I don't get this one. Where is he going to be utilised ? His distribution, speed, and general skills will have had to be massively improved to figure regularly. Nice guy, passionate, runs his blood, etc. But...

Can understand why they'd release this signing this week whilst everyone is thinking about Toulouse but on the same day O'Brien signs at Fax.. we announced Hallas!

Hopefully he has been signed as a squad player, but don't really see what value he adds to the current side. Feels very much like a step backwards and on a two year deal??!! Bizarre.

Please God we have re-signed Segayaro.
