Highlights reel suggests could be a handy player for us. Reminds me of a proper old fashioned Aussie type hooker and hopefully will go well in Championship.

Hard to know for certain until they've got a few games under their belt. Definitely more positive about this signing than Hallas or Oakes.

Looks like a good signing. He has come through some great systems down under so he should go well for us.
Think we’re covered at hooker now, just need a prop and loose forward for me

Fev have let a bunch of players go. I wouldn't mind Davies, always has a good game against us. One year contract would be good.

Obviously know nothing about him, but hopefully Nobby has done his homework. From the highlights he looks like he could be a crowd pleaser and he is the right age to improve/make an impression rather than coming to top up his pension.

1 - Tom Holmes
2 - Ben Blackmore
3 - Jayden Myers
4 - Kieran Gill
5 - Jorge Tuafua
6 - Lee Gaskell
7 - Jordan Lilley

9 - Mitch Souter

11 - Brad England
12 - Chester Butler

14 - George Flanagan
15 - Keven Appo
16 - Ebon Scurr
17 - Eribe Doro

So far this would be what I would go with no quality 13 yet and we could deffo do with another prop probably a 2nd row for strength in depth maybe Foster/ Davies or Hau if he fancies a year or 2! Really good though that we are at this point in the off season and only 2/3 players off where we need to be

Players in with a shout, depending on how preseason goes: Okoro, Arundel, Hallas, Oakes.
Yep, one or two more forwards needed

Re: 2024 Squad and Recruitment : Sun Oct 29, 2023 10:43 am  

Think Arundel will end up at second row.

Would like a back up spine player, a second Hooker and a couple of props still. But we're not a million miles off.

Encouraging thing is we all said we needed a starting Hooker, and we've picked one up from quality competition. Makes a nice change of us wanting a certain position and signing our tenth winger.

Recruitment has improved a lot lately. A few more jigsaw pieces needed but looking good so far.

Daniel Smith and John Davies strongly linked with us.

Re: 2024 Squad and Recruitment : Mon Oct 30, 2023 9:06 am  

John Davies would be a fantastic signing. Proper championship forward. Smith I'm not fussed about. Never really been impressed by him in all honesty.
