Be nice to bring in a quality 13 from your side of the pond

I’m not sure on what the Makin deal would achieve if there’s no option of signing the player. Especially if Shaw and Lingard are options. Your not going to throw Lingard in but for an odd game on the bench for a 20 minute spell i would rather that.


If Makin comes he will have a job on getting ahead of our first 5 prop options so unless he’s fine as back up then I’m not fussed myself.

I’ve never been into developing other teams Young players, especially now we’ve actually got the financial clout to bring someone of quality in and retain and develop our own. We certainly need a 13, as good as Pitts is he’s 35 and I’m unsure if Cozza is of the quality we need at this level, reminds me abit of Bain in that sense.

No

Makin is a good young prop who would be getting games in most SL teams.

Hes not the biggest but has a very solid build high work rate and is technically very good in contact both sides of the ball.

A slight point of difference is he also has ball playing ability which I think could see him drop in as a good option at 13 too.

I may be wrong but I thought 2025 was last year of his contract.

I think Chan and Eseh will be available for loan too as it looks like Wigan are making room for a signing to replace Isa.

I will see if I can bring one across with me when I come in April/May.... not many roaming the streets of Cootamundra but I might pick one up at the airport!!

curiouser and curiouser

I think I’d rather be looking at Chan or Eseh personally. At least Eseh has history with the club and it would be nice to see how he has progressed.

Ultimately though I don’t think any of these would get in if our main 4 props are fit.

With Makin been a potential for 13 perhaps that has brought some interest from trinity.

The clubs recruitment has been very good so I’m sure they’ll pick the right player.

We cleared a quota spot for some reason.

I’m not convinced we cleared a spot with intention of a signing but we do have one like you say and it’s been weeks.

I can see it being used if a player of good quality becomes available.
