A quick google leads to the knowledge of a ~22yrs winger / FB who can kick goals.

The last two guys we picked up from the Shute Shield turned out pretty good so, assuming this is a correct rumour, looking forward to seeing what Lachlan can do!

I thought that!

Some extra digging and I’ve found that he has been playing for Eastwood Rugby Club, and started a recent game at 15 with ex-Tiger George Worth at 13.

Hopefully the right money-ball-esq signing and he will come over hungry to get stuck in and show us what he can do.

I don’t believe he has yet, no.

Perhaps a double signing with Shelley and Horton, and maybe any others left (not sure if Steff Hughes was a serious rumour or just loose 1+1 = 4 type).

Highlights of Tom Horton, for those interested.
In defence he reminds me of a certain Mr T Youngs

Is Steff Hughes still without a club?

Salary cap goes up next summer. Salaries are averaged over the life of the contract so you couldn't load them for next season. Watson has by his omission taken a chunky pay cut because that's where the market is right now. Doesn't mean he won't sign a new deal and stay longer just means it's the worst time to sign a long term deal as a player when a short term deal in theory could lead to a more lucrative one in 12 months time

We could put anything on here & there is a good chance it will make the Rugby "Press" rumours in not too long.


I have heard he has been talking to Wigan & is going to switch codes.

Strange I’d heard he was speaking to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a replacement for The Gronk at Tight End.

I’d heard it was off to Ryanair after they found out air steward was available.
