Swapping Abdull for Will Oakes ?
Is he any good ?

Definitely has promise but not up to SL standard yet which is why we sent him to rovers for a year

Hi Andy

The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

Gallen as in the guy that got banned from all clubs/activities etc for a year due to performance enhancing drugs? The Gallen that attacked the Australian doping agency during its investigation, the Gallen that came out on the radio and stated he hadn't taken anything then pleaded guilty and hammered out a punishment/sanction from ASADA along with the other doping cheats, er, no thanks.
He's also 36 as of next month and the wedge we'd have to be paying him to lure him away from Australia I think we could do better for the money, we also have much better props at the club and also two young upcoming forwards that would be missing out on their development.
Gallen's own words only a couple of weeks ago.

“Would I leave the Sharks? It would have to be a very, very, very good offer for me to leave the Sharks, so no, I probably wouldn’t (leave),”

Oakes to Hull is simply not happening, too important to Rovers, source couldn't be much better. :WHISTLE:
If it's Gallen, and we're resigning Michaels, I guess that puts paid to the Paea rumour. :(

Aww come on knocker , youve seen him play, nsw captain, surely some part of you would like to see him in a hull shirt . The super league needs high profile signings like him. Dont get me wrong, if it didnt happen I wouldnt be fussed , and understand your concerns.

Re: Recruitment and retention : Wed Jul 05, 2017 7:35 pm  
I think he's done, I go so far as to say I'd have Mickey P in front and I don't really want him at the club either for the reasons re the younger players. His improvements seemed to come on the back of being on the juice, i really don't think he'd be anything like VfM, just as I didn't think pritchard was, in fact less than pritchard who at least was an amiable chap behind the scenes.
Us paying a massive wedge for a convicted doper at the wrong end of his career and at the expense of two young upcoming forwards losing out valuable game time. Not for me, not even a smidge.

Would love to see it. But I'm pretty sure Beau Ryan on the footy show announced Gallen has just signed a new 1 year deal with cronulla

If we have the chance to sign Gallen we should he has been outstanding for years (not just since the drugs incident) would replace Ellis, about the same age, but a lot less injury prone.

It won't happen though as he still can command a salary in the NRL that we can't get near.

Im sure I read , he was retiring from the nrl , and fancied a year in england, could be wrong , especially if hes signed a 1 year extension at cronulla
