Fariamo didn't play many games before he signed. Kane Evans doesn't seem to be rated highly, not too keen on him potentially coming.

… but he had played international rugby, which could easily have swayed it.

Ligi has 1 appearance for Samoa according to Wikipedia - would that suffice?

Evans was awesome and raw when he first started playing for Roosters, proper enforcer in the mould of Watts, maybe he has gone off the boil a bit. I haven't watched much NRL for a few years but was surprised that he seems to have fallen down in the pecking order in his current team.

Sounds like the affordable sort of NRL player Super League, especially FC could be looking for.

I like the sound of Manu Ma'u personally, a good redemption story, but looks like he'd struggle on the visa front.

He wouldn’t be speaking to uk clubs if he didn’t think he could get a visa.

That's what we thought about Michael Crocker.

Few years since.

Ma’u is 31 by the end of the season, if he signs with a SL club most NRL clubs would have filled their rosters by the time his visa would come through. There’s no way his agent wouldn’t be doing due diligence. Could cost him thousands.

Type in "Kane Evans" into the searchbox on the Parramatta forum - they ALL want rid of him. Definitely the worst one we've been linked with.

Already done apparently...heard this yesterday

I’m no expert on the NRL, but am sure I read if a club pays £100,000
or more, the 50% playing rule, is reduced to 20%. We’ve gone crazy with rumours this season.

I know he’s out of form & favour, but if we are looking for a prop, Seb Ikihifo at Huddersfield looked devastating in some of their matches last season.

wouldn't be surprised if roves signed ikihifo. They seem to be clearing cap space for some signings

Looks like we'll have about 12 overseas players next year with all these deals people say are done

Tala gone...mini Manu Paea.

4 that I'd expect we'll use as SL market pretty dry.

I know they have made an offer for Mellor, which could possibly explain the unusual goings on across the City, perhaps Seb is one of their targets as well. A double swoop on Huddersfield from the robins maybe.

I agree about Westy we should keep him, a one year deal, but maybe he wants longer.

We are still interested in him apparently, but won’t pay what’s he’s on at the giants . Surprised really if we’ve signed a prop already from nrl .

Wonder if the club announce a signing Monday to try and take the edge off that defeat. Also of anybody today wondered why we need an Adam Swift or another winger it showed today

Well as Radford said last week our first choice wingers pre season were Talanoa, Faraimo and Dawson-Jones, so not surprising we're struggling. Swift maybe what we're after. If what I hear is correct about who we are looking at in the forwards we will be trading up.

Based on yesterday you could be talking about Hutch Maiava and Dane Tilse.

Sounds like it’s close to being completed.
I’d let all the out of contract forwards go and freshen it up totally.
There’s a couple I’d look at releasing early if I could as well.
