Heard anything about a pommie prop with a Russian sounding name?

Mikolaj Oledzki. Plays for Leeds Rhinos.

I seem to recall that Sheens has signed a Russian before.....

He’s a solid lad, are we chasing him??

That tactic became less popular with the 7 tackle set. Teams go high and try to land the ball on the try line now.

Thats right. Which is a kick Brooks is close to the best in the comp at. His cross field try line kick for the centre or winger has improved out of sight the past 2 years.

That would be a great signing. And the names polish

Certainly looks the part

More like a hell of a lot of those long death riding him have finally come around to the realisation that Luke remains the club's best signed option in the halves.

Considered Hastings as a challenger for being WT best there for a couple of weeks or so, at least until opposition coaches learnt to neutralise him as well.

If rumours my long held huge concerns of Doueihi's defensive liabilities are being shared at coaching level are true, then it would seem that the club is on the lookout for a replacement, so has anyone heard any whispers other than unrealistic Munster?

Good post. I agree with our Chair that the level of focus and scrutiny of Brooks is unhealthy to a point where it is now an obsession. You only have to read the quality of the replies following the publication of that article on the forum to understand the neurosis.

Then we will continue to suck with that bloke at 7

Granted there are a few on this forum that don't like Brooks but really he hasn't had a good forward pack to take the team forward.He's been out for the last 5 weeks and the WT'S have recorded some if their worst result on record so blind Freddy's can see he is not solely responsible for the teams problems and if reports are correct that the WT'S want to make him a one team player thus will give the keyboard warrior's something to look forward to and could be a master stroke with I would say the club would renegotiate the last year of his contract and spread it out over what ever time frame the club is looking to sign him for.

Mikolaj Oledzki,

Guy is huge.

Too much information Demps.

If we get any of these Pommie forwards, it looks like we are paying some transfer fees to get them out of contracts. That Mikolaj is signed until end of 25'.

Gotta put that so called "War Chest" to use somehow 🤷‍♂️

If only the centres and wingers (even second rowers) could improve to take advantage of it.

That rule was bought in to stop team’s nullifying the fullback from way out, it’s ruined the tactic of trying to get the ball back via drop outs. I reckon if your inside the opposite 20 and the ball goes dead from a grubber it should only be 6 tackle restart. We should promote attack not penalise it.

Doesn't matter as the transfer fee is not part of the salary cap anyway.

Jordan Hill returns 🔥🔥

He'll be a first grade winger with great attributes for years to come...

Hopefully with Jnr Tupou playing inside him.
