Unless we have paid the fee, do Donny have the money to pay a fee?

If we have why are we keeping it quiet that he has signed for us?

Actually, his twitter statement is interesting, he says "Can't wait for the new chapter and the opportunities that come with it"

I suspect that it is either a job or he gets to be FT and train with us.

d the benefit in paying the fee, but not disclosing that we have done so, no cap impact etc.

I am hoping he meant that the stats from other teams are only available after a period of time, so we compare/contrast our stats with the rest of the competition at set points in the season. and that we review our own stats every week after every game. BUT, if, as the article suggests, we have a "team" of people looking at stats etc. then surely this should be done from the Opta stats which everyone can see fairly soon after each weekly round?

The opta stats are only a small slide of the whole stats taken in from a game. Loads of extras like metres after contact..pens won..fast plays won etc
He won't of tallied up the entire yrs worth of stats till the end of year

Well, when it comes down to it, not many go or stay East.

Players with involvement at both clubs; we have Albert Kelly (MOS shortlisted), Liam Watts (in the form of his career), Scott Taylor (last year's Dream Team and international), Mickey Paea, Jordan Abdull, Jack Logan. They have Graeme Horne I think.

Edit - replace Graeme Horne with Tommy Lee. Is that Lee's 8th club if true? Goodness me.

Something in the league express tomorrow from Motu in regards to our recruitment, wonder if it anything or just a typical LE article to make you buy it.

Wonder if we have a bit of cap space to play with, now that Tomo and the three youni lads at Donny are off cap?

Odd time for a story, unless what I heard about another signing is true and will be announced after the World Cup

Still have a feeling we will let Washbrook go and sign a strong running second row.
With the possibility of losing both Manu and Minichello after next season it would be good to have at least one of the replacements in place for this coming season
