| I've seen Schonig come of the bench for Melbourne a few times on FOX. If you want a straight up and down prop who takes the tough carries and does his share of tackling but don't expect much in the way of silky skills, he's your man. Looks to be a tough cookie, but then most RL props are.

Yes he did, but from memory his dad was a scout at Wigan and they took him there?

That doesn't mean we can't sign players, we just have limits. We have a quota spot free and I suspect we can afford to fill it assuming we can find a decent player at decent money.

| If we intended to use the quota place for a centre would it not be correct to assume that will still be the position they are looking to fill first be it from the U.K. or the NRL.

Not really. That's just the position they actually filled first (and then didn't)
It doesn't mean that was the biggest priority, its just the deal that was done.
There will be multiple conversations going on at the same time even for the same position.
If you waited and did them one at a time you'll have a squad of 5 players by the time the season starts.

Yeah his dad scouted at Wigan, but I thought I’d read something about but couldn’t find anything when I searched for it.

He was on a 12 month scholarship at Wakefield, then FC took him on a 2 year scholarship and at the end of that Wigan approached Normanton Knights who held his registration and signed him from them, the why's and wherefores don't really matter.

The rfl working with the home office issued some very clear guidelines and here's the web address :

If you can explain it to me afterwards I d be really grateful - but basically it seems that if you want a work permit, you have had to play a lot of NRL games (20%), or a recognised international, and be one of the top 20 in terms of salary at the club or you ain't getting a visa.
There are exceptions and an interesting one on the percentage calculation if you ve been injured in the period they are considering as injured games are educated from available games.
Anyway I may have totally got hold of the wrong end of the stick

I can’t remember where I read it, but I’d heard it from 2 different people before seeing it online. I can’t say I remember seeing much of him at Wigan to form an opinion.

Shame that, I rate him. Salford's need is probably greater than ours though and it's less of an uproot for him.

For the life of me I can’t work out where Salford get their money from I really don’t.
To me they are technically bankrupt, about to be evicted, have crowds that make us look like Man U.
They are clearly running a squad they can’t afford as far as I can tell yet they get away with it. Surely the bubble will eventually burst.
I notice even they won’t pay Pauli Pauli anymore so I suppose even they have limits.

I was wondering what Pauli Pauli will end up doing, thought he found some ok form at Salford but then again maybe that was only because I wasn’t watching him every week to spot the constant errors.
Don’t think anyone in SL can take him unless Toulouse fancy giving him a shot. Might be time to head back to Aus.

Hard running prop with a bit of pace, i quite like him but must be something amiss. I know they briefly loaned him out to Rochdale a few years back and remember him being stood down whilst fit. Then all of a sudden he was ever present!

PP does a specific job and if you need it he's great. You just have to compensate for his failings with your recruitment elsewhere.
He also needs a strong coach like Watson to keep him motivated and training.

I think PP is without a club at present but has been recently linked with Newcastle Thunder (who hasn't? )
Salford appear to be spending a lot but they have lost quite a few of there players to Shudds as Ian Watson builds Salford Reds Mk II

Signed for York, good signing for the championship as he’ll do some serious damage. They’re light if a few more decent players, lots of hype around them in the last year or two and they really haven’t done much despite a few older heads guiding them.
