He'd bring leadership and genuine class to our pack. No spring chicken but we did pretty well with the last 30+ back rower we signed. Hindmarsh is of a similar pedigree. Probably no more than a made up rumour though, bit we can hope.

OP on that forum seems to be getting pee taken out him over the rumour. Plus unless we've got sammut off quota we don't have quota space

I thought Sammut was confirmed off quota?? anyway we can hope.. It makes sense though if you look at it.. the kind of forward we need right now plus it is the kind of thing the club believe the fans would want, spending some money on a big name. lets hope if it is true and he comes it doest turn out to be a (dare i say it) Orford saga!!

One thing is, much as we've bemoaned the loss of Menzies and Morrison, I don't recall the Bulls packs they played in showing much evidence of being bolstered by their experience and leadership. Maybe Morro's first year, but since then has been the malaise, with a brief respite at the back end of 09 and start of 2010. While neither was here to help in 2011, were they really such a boost *as leaders* before then. Genuine question, you'd expect them to be, but did it happen, in Beaver's case particularly?

Well - Sammutt said he had been told he was off quota by the RFL. Unfortunately neither the club or the RFL have confirmed this yet.

Seen many Eels games this season?



I'd steer well clear.

I think we'd be better off signing Jarryd Hayne personally.

As much as I wish this is true, I seriously doubt this rumour has any legs, and couldn't see for the life in me that he would actually come over to super league, never mind the bulls... Ah well, here's for optimism!

completely made up.

no truth in that what so ever. unfortunately.

Really can't see us giving a 30 yr old a 295k a year deal and doubt we have that much cap space anyway. Would cause unrest in squad if one player was on that much more than others. Can't see this being anything other than made up tbh.

just as I suspected. And the reported 1.4 million would mean he was on around £290,000 a season, I am sure the club would be cautious over spending such a huge chunk of cap on one player, given the you know who saga. And it is very doubtful we have anywhere near that sort of cap space! Its a shame we can't realisticly be linked with this calibre of player.
