[quote="Willzay"]Signing Luke Gale is not giving in?[/q

Think he pulled up again this week and could be out of action foe several more weeks. There may be a case for the goods purchased not been of merchantable quality, No way could we get the transfer fee back but surely there must be some sort of protection for DOR who purchase 35 year old, injury prone, washed out players in the belief that they are fit for purpose.

Steady on Belly, our director of rugby never gets things wrong our squad and league position tells you that.

Yeah i don't think he has much interest in being a pro-rugby player anymore!

Yes, it says his last club (maybe pro) was us in 2019.

I would like I’ve said a few times look at the best winger in championship in Lachlan Walmsley. Even if it meant a fee. He would be a good signing for 2024 either at championship level or at SL level. If we are looking at 2024 signings he’d be high on my list as a quota player.

Such a master stroke of a signing. Paul Sykes would’ve been a more reliable option.

It may be that his U.K. work visa is still valid hence his return is not so complicated.

I think if this has happened it’s a good move. Dave is an infectious character to have in the camp and he will likely be our best prop.

The huge potential downer is if Tanginoa has broke his arm vs Catalans. That would be a big blow for rest of the season.

If Tanginoa has indeed broken his arm then it’s a big blow and would somewhat diminish the uplift brought by Dave Fifita.

Maybe Tanginoa could also be deregistered and get Andrew Fifita over here as well, now that would lift the mood on the terraces and providing they’re both near match fitness I could see us getting a couple of wins.
