Here from my sources it’s a new Head of corporate lunches and Chief Putter Out of Team Sheets on Match Day. Apparently a better than expected quality of applicant. So that’s all good.........

Possibly tap up a few Fev and Leigh players when they’re up in London for the 1895. When they see how great it is in Tottenham well have no worries. You heard it here first.

Bottom line we can punch our weight with anyone in this league when it comes to recruiting 2nd tier Aussies. It’s an absolute no-brainer. The other half (or parts) of the decision makers PT merits assessment relating to Northern players who want to get into London’s bloated and lucrative job market and ‘Southern talent’. I think the jury has retired and brought in a rather unpleasant and seemingly unexpected (to our decision makers at least) verdict.
Ive noted quite a few recently ex-Broncos not picking up a game at their new clubs but no movement on taht front either. Sigh.....

Couple of things.
We recruited him from Elite 1, which is a strange shop window for us to be looking in as I would rate it as on par with our 3rd tier, although more Keighley than Cornwall. We know what 3rd rate players deliver.....just look at the table.
He's an Aussie of Italian heritage and has 2 caps so far, which according to RL Project, saw him played on the wing. The highlights reels available for him show him at 6/7, and his stats show he is not a first choice goal kicker. I'm going to assume we've signed him as a pivot, something that Chisholm showed we needed.
Underwhelmed by this signing. Back in the days when we signed a Dorn or a Moran, there was excitement about what these Aussies could add, but after hard blowing our own trumpet on development and coveyer-belts of talent, it's a shame that we go trawling the depths of french club RL for Australians on their BIG OE (overseas experience)....he has seen France and now we're paying him to see London....nice for him

I can't work out if we have a decent goal kicker. Do we? Have we this season? Seems to vary overall.

Let me assist Torbreck. No we don’t. Mockedriki can whallop the ball but when it comes to goal kicks, right in front of the sticks is his default. In his defence no one else seems to have put their hand up so he’s doing his best. I expect to see Ulberg et al stepping out of bounds whilst trying to improve the kicking angle becoming a regular thing.
