Aston to scour worldwide for Full Time Players
By Liam Claffey | 27/08/2015


Sheffield Eagles Director of Rugby Mark Aston is leaving no stone unturned as he looks to forge ahead with plans for a full-time roster for next season.

Eagles have just four games remaining as a part-time club before they make the jump to full-time in November. Aston is close to formally announcing which players will be remaining with the club, whilst he is also looking to recruit as he bids to transform Eagles staff for a sustained assault on returning to Super League.

Whilst he cannot formally announce players before September 1, Aston is in talks with agents ahead of the club’s most important ever recruitment drive.

“We cannot speak to players at this stage, but there has been communication with agents” Aston said. “Some of those conversations have been positive and after September 1 we are confident that we can announce a group of players.”

Aston is scouring the world for players, with an emphasis on youth to go with an experienced batch of performers that are expected to be retained. “I have plenty of experience here so I am certainly going to be looking at younger players coming out of Super League that have been in good environments and that makes the transition easier” he said.

“I am also looking for players that haven’t played at this level; there are some cracking players in divisions below. There are some great kids who want to go full-time; there are some great kids coming out of Super League, and in Championship One. We have to get that blend right.”

Eagles have had a high success rate with players arriving from abroad, and Aston will be casting his net far and wide as he looks for the right combinations to take the Eagles onto the next level.

“We are scanning the world,” Aston added.
“We are in Samoa, Papua New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, we are looking all over the world. We have been fortunate over the years that we have done really well with people like Quentin Laulu-Togagae, Misi Taulapapa, Menzie Yere and Steve Thorpe and people like that. We are certainly scanning.”

:shock:

Are you aware of any players who won't be going fulltime Griff that may become transfer targets for us ?

The ones I have heard, Brambani, Briggs, Smeaton, Tonka, Turner and Walker. Briggs off to Fev, Brambani was going to Fev when Hay was still there but instead they have paid for Thackery.

Anyone like to see any of those at Fax? Theres a couple who would probably improve the squad but nothing that stands out as been better than we have.

I've always rated Smeaton , I think he's a good centre, and we should have never let Tonks go,I'd love to Brierley at Fax but that's wishful thinking,maybe getting Bob Bes back is possible.

To me Beswick is our biggest mistake in the last few years, always rated him, even when we had Penky and Gleeson.
