Seems our ‘big prop’ gap is about to be filled…..

That's more like it! Happy with that if true.

If GOB goes I think we will miss his versatility and kicking. I’ve really enjoyed watching him play for us - head knocks and injuries aside. Mcshane apparently nicknamed him the speed bump for his ability to slow down players twice his size.

I'm with you DebH, I like GOB, however I can understand the thinking if our rumoured signings are true (note, I said 'if' as I'm never convinced until its officially announced by the club). GOB's preferred position is fullback, if Leigh are willing to give him a decent contract and the number 1 shirt then I can't blame him for talking to them. If he does leave I think we will miss him but he'll go with everyone's best wishes I'm sure.

As for Vete, I hope this rumour is true - exactly the type of player we need up front if he can stay fit.

Surely an improvement on our current props.

How can hkr bring in current Nrl players but we can't their crowds are no better than ours.

Think this guy comes from KR with the same injury problems as joke webster. And that didn't work out too bad

agreed Jake turned out great for us it would be nice to think Albert will be the same but its a gamble can a small club like ours keep taking these gambles ?

Exactly we are crying out for a decent Centre Opacic would of been a great signing.

I’ve always wondered that.
We seem to pick up other teams cast off’s.

Looking at his highlights reel he's left a few players feeling sad and sorry for themselves with his big hits

Expect him to be banned a fair bit then with the way the current refs/review panel are going.
