Good player but he's a Lino type player. We need a Gale type player imho


Definitely, if the rumours on Truman are true then I can’t see us being in for another halfback.

Be interesting to see what we do with the final quota spot.

Talking of props I liked the look of Bienek for London.

Agree with the above - we need to replace Gale, and if Trueman is fit and firing he could become that.

As for an NRL prop, there are quite a few off contract:

Martin Taupau - 34, nowhere near the same strike he had in his prime, but has been rumoured to be moving over to the UK at some point
Liam Knight - 29, solid Jai Whitbread type, no superstar
Isaac Liu - 33, but still solid and could bring some good experience to a young pack
Matt Lodge - 29, penalty machine, battering ram, awful bloke
Mahakesi Makatoa - 31, a slightly less effective Isaac Liu
Jordan McLean - 33, huge presence who doesn't run his weight but is still hard to handle, would be a very interesting addition
Sione Fainu - 23 and not very tested, a bit like getting another Atoni or Vagana in

As for Bienek, I played against him a couple of times, and he's a brilliant carrier of the ball but not that dynamic. There's a reason he didn't kick on at Hull, and he's probably playing well at London because he's home again, playing with his mates.

Interesting this isn't it. I don't really understand the benefit to European rugby league either - any ideas?

I don't think it will positively affect Trin very soon. As far as I can tell, Lino and Walmsley wouldn't come off until 2027, Atoni 2029, and the rest 2030. If we sign Parcell, he'd come off in 2026.

The article states that it only applies to six consecutive years in SL, they'd all reset next year year anyway. It'd be 2031 before we saw the benefit.

Wouldn’t Parcell come off next season as he’s been in superleague since 2017?

This may open up the odd player for us to look at.

Tom Opacic and Parcell thank you. :D

Not really all that keen on either to be honest, the only advantage to them is that they're experienced at SL level, which makes them less of a risk than any overseas recruits, however they have both had injuries this season which has restricted their appearances, the other question is do we want to use a quota spot on a centre, based on our recruitment so far I think I would put my faith in the club coming up with better. If they are targets the best I would like to see us offering is a one year contract with an option of a second activatable by the club

It's like were doing a squad swap with KR.
Maybe Lino for Lewis next ?
