Odd they mention Kane Evans in the press release

A 9 with a running game!



I mentioned in another thread if you wanted to see more of him the Oceania 2019 cup games are on YouTube.



As soon as we get a quick play the ball or the markers aren't set he'll be off. He's very much an 'eyes up' player.



Guess this puts a pin in the Peats deal? Hodgson mentions him playing primarily at 9.



Depends who we manage to shift on, but I still think we could see another 4 or 5 through the door

Something like



McIntosh for Faraimo

Lovodua for Johnstone

Evans or Ah Mau? for Bowden

Wardle? (to play back row) for Fonua

Scurr? for Matongo

Looks good to me.



I'll try not to de rail the thread too much but.....



I'd like some decent half cover too. McNamara needs time to develop. I've mentioned Hampshire who is still available, and MC is in the press saying Wakey might have to run with a smaller squad due to budget cuts.



I don't think we get value for money from Ma'u either who would be one of our bigger earners, and what Fonua is allegedly on we could get 2 players on his wage.



Mcintosh - Faraimo

Lovodua - JJ

Scurr - Matongo

Amone/Britt/ Ah Mau? & Wardle - Fonua

Hampshire - Bowden

Peats - Ma'u

I think that's what will happen.

Think the likes of Ma’u, Sao and Savelio have all signed so will be staying for at least next season. We definitely need to be targeting some better British forwards over the next 12 months, relying heavily on overseas atm.



Hampshire would be a decent stop gap if Shaul was to go. A lot better cover at halfback without moving Connor, whilst we see if Hookem, McNamara and Walker make it.

Savelio is British.

Never said he wasn’t. Just saying that even though Hull havn’t announced the contract extensions yet, expect them to soon.

Think we’ll see a bit of Hookem next year as well.

Hopefully they’ve realised we need to start playing some of these young players.

Super league just collectively laughed like at the level of player were now signing

Meanwhile, the whole of this forum just sighed at the level of your tedious posts

Here's an idea. Why don't we all put on the blocked list. Bonnaire can sometimes be a little bit Sebish but he does come up with some good rugby league comments.
