That's the main question at the moment. Let's hope. It would be good to see another one or two of his short range tries.

So with everything that’s gone on and no news coming out from the club are we to assume that Mikaele is now not coming.

He was due to arrive here on Wednesday, so we will find out soon.

Mikaele confirmed season long loan

Re: Recruitment rumours and links : Wed Aug 02, 2023 11:27 am  

coincidence this was announced after Powells departure?

I'd have thought that we'd have a caretaker coach in charge for the rest of the season (Richard Marshall, perhaps), in which case I'd have thought that the Mikaele return would still be on. However, if the powers that be could get a permanent replacement for Powell, sooner rather than later, then I'd expect they'd have the final say on any signings. Can you shed any light on this, please?

Apologies, only just seen this. Mikeale has flown in and will play until the end of the season. I was just expressing a concern over the fickle nature of coaching changes. I think the perfect example is Riley Dean. DP didn't want him in his squad, yet Chambers & Marshall do. He's in & out like the Oki-Koki.

With regards to Riley Dean, his natural flair was stifled by the instructions from Powell, to a very basic style that limited his game, and doesn`t make use of his talent.

Works for me, i'm obsessed
Yeah the Austin to Featherstone rumour is an actual possibility, they're aiming big and why not

Really could do with an early coaching announcement as recruitment can't be too delayed pending an announcement... A centre is desperately needed for next year unless we are seriously sticking with tick rugby Peter
