He seems to have been on trial for quite some time now.

What are peoples thoughts, is he good enough for SL? I haven't seen him live but watching highlights he looks like he has potential.

From what I’ve seen he should be signed on. He’s a big fast fella and can only get better with time. Too much of a natural talent lo let slip through to another club.

I wonder if it's salary cap issues. Maybe go on a season long loan at Doncaster and see how he develops.

I'd like to know how old he is.

I don't think it's quite as simple as people make out, he's still in the army, and so needs clearance from them to play pro-rugby/leave. What he wants to do also needs to be considered, something people on here often ignore.

He should be zero on the cap for this year, but there is also the question of overseas' quotas.

Coming from RU, the RFL could, in theory, override the quota ruling in his case.

I didn’t notice him playing in fatigues. Clearly I’m not fully cognisant of his status. Which army? If it’s ours does that impact on his residency status?

hi plum Bob,Ratu will be in the british army.i live near Redford army barracks here in Edinburgh and there are quite a few figian lads based there.a couple of them play for the union club I used to be match secratery for.

We must be interested. His loan has been extended for a month.

I understand its more of a monetary matter between the player and club than not been interested to sign him.

Could explain trying to get the exemption for Dawson Jones?

Once you have played a game you cannot be exempt on the cap that's why Brown and Gale got exemption
