Rumoured and Confirmed Signings

[Iafeta]

John is more proven and better than Harry right now IMO. Harry can't even crack the Warriors ahead of TL...mustn't be going that good.

Solid kicking game with a good pass on him.

Has decent size and not a liability in defense on the games I've seen him play.

He also takes on the line.

Thomas has played 30 tests and won a World Cup for his country. I dare say he's a bit better than you're giving him credit for TBF.

John would be depth. I thought he was a basic back up player. I was disappointed that he left for that reason, that if you had an injury he could come in and do a basic, accurate job. I doubt he'll be in the starting 17 come round 1... and yes, I know you have Luke Walsh.

Not sure a front rower of that quality (coin) should really be a priority, but then the idea might be moving McKendry on.

Telegraph today claims any time now Thurston will announce he is signing with The Panthers for next season and beyond......

They have changed their minds a numober of times on what he is doing but just letting you know what their latest guess is.

I dare say that it doesn't look good for us signing Thurston, if we've already signed another half

 

[The Teach]

Don't forget we let sjeika go and taumata went as well Jim, so Isaac John is essentially covering those two departures.

Fair enough.

Someone else also reminded me that we were after Thurston for 2014, not this season.

We have officially signed Elijah Taylor for 2014 and beyond

Don't know if we really needed another back rower

 

[umina panther]

Elliott will probably ruin him in the next 12 months

 

[abpanther]

He's probably our future lock, although I was thinking that was Austin's long term position.

Gee we certainly are stockpiling a fair number of kiwis

 

[chrisD]

Seriously...

 

[franklin2323]

He might play centre or hooker. The aim seems to be sign a team of backrowers
