Correct and in the same article in which League Express said we'd sign Mahe it said we were still looking at Sebsatine Ikahihifo. Already over here so no problems with visas or settling in.

I'd be surprised, seems pointless to lose Green, I can't see a better UK prop available than Green.

Hopefully not a young prop as we have loads of them.

Hudds are rumoured to have signed Edwards from Catalans on big money so maybe Ikahihifo will be on his way .

Re: Recruitment 2020 : Fri Jun 28, 2019 4:16 pm  

Ikahihifo has always seemed lazy to me and add in his alleged high salary and poor attitude and it doesn't bode well.

If were losing paea and green we definitely need 2 more props plus the replacement for westerman were supposed to have signed. My suspicion is well see Ellis as one of our 4 main props which doesn't look like a great strategy to me. I think we need 2 props another 2nd row and someone to play 13 but with only 3 overseas spots available they wont be the players whi have been touted around which will leave us short I the forwards

Probably will be him if it’s uk based , been after him a while now . We’d be getting a good player if he’s anything like he was when playing every week .
