trueman reminds me very much of a young paul wellens and if he wants to I think he could mature into a top class full back. wonder if ash robson fancies coming back.

I asked the question about Ash a while back mate, but it seems that he’ll only play part time now as needs to spend time with his business.

Mead would be a great fit for us if for whatever reason he leaves catalans.i still don’t see what a lot of people see in evalds and would be slightly disappointed if that’s the best we could bring in.

Not overly keen on Jake Mamo either, had a couple of good games last year but spent most of the season in the stands injured. Having a quick look on the Huddersfield RLFans page, a lot of their fans are wanting Mamo out and don't rate him. Mead looks like a very handy player who could be tempted if Tomkins packs his bags and sun cream and heads to Southern France.

I'd stick with Trueman for now though, yes he isn't on Zak's level at FB, but how many are? He's starting to show glimpses and Friday was his best game whilst playing at the back. Once he has a better understand of the lines he needs to be running and pass selection, he could be a gem of a fullback.

Don't like rumours and would generally not bother, but still hearing Zak could be back on the books when the dust has settled.

he blames cas for the way they treated him after he was suspended from playing so i would be surprised if that occurs

Maybe he does, but he's the architect here. It possibly cost SG his job, so I would imagine all is good.

As a club we made a decision and it's done. He can however show remorse and fight his way back. The club would help him I'm sure.

Alternatively, he can take the easy option and run but at some point he has to stop and take responsibility.

same here regarding mamo. I remember early in the season when we were trying benny there. he made one mistake and took some flak on here but that same week on the sl show mamo had a nightmare. mead looked great in the world cup but hasn't impressed me at catalan.

It's fairly straightforward for me; if we can't get anyone NOW we stick with Trueman and he'll develop into a very good full back, one who can provide that vital link in attack. The bonus is he can catch and doesn't seem to take a backward step in defence.

He's got a good 6 month to make the role his...

Paul Wellens at his very best, Wouldn't shine in SL today. He was all about defence. A full back now is an extra stand off.

Jarryd Hayne would send out a significant message.

500k dollars, so half that straight away.
He’s off contract at the end of the year and he won’t earn another deal anywhere near that level. Partly due to his form and injuries, but also because of the damage done to his reputation as a result of the allegations that have been made against him (that I believe have been dismissed).
