Anymore news on Skelton’s potential return or is that not a thing?

 

[Blackadder]

First day of preseason quick video is on Tah's Facebook. Lalakai and Jp are there so looks like they might be staying. Would love to see an announcement or 2 soon

 

[Blackadder]

Matt Sandall is there too I thought he was released?? Might be cover for Tom. A few others I don't recognize. A few photos on face book for people to view. Anyone recognize anyone else or new faces??

He has offers to stay at his current club, French clubs want him and Cheika apparently spoke to him to see if he wanted to come back to Australia. No news so far

The times rugby podcast has him coming back to Aus

I don't think Meafou is close. I wouldn't sign him. I don't think he is nearly as good as Skelton was when he was that sort of size.

Maybe he needs to swap clubs

Really? Looking to do a Jordan Mailata is he? Off to the IMG Academy in Florida.

Edit: Joined the NFL Pathways Program. So he will be at the IMG Academy in Florida.

James Ramm appears to have been signed.

He was one of the star Aus u20’s player- I have watched him play this year- he is a very good player- a very good signing.

Has been playing wing, but could be a future Fullback or centre.

Bayley Kuenzle- a NSW junior appears to have been poached and is now signed for the Brumbies Squad! He was the Aus u20’s 10/12 this year.

Hi William, the players I mentioned were at the Rebels training session (Quade interview on the rebels 2019 site) which was a surprise to see them there.
Am very much aware of the Randwick / Uni /Norths contingents being blooded in the system. Must not be much talent outside of there

Warringah, Manly and Eastwood must have been very "lucky"to make the finals series over the past 3 years

Apparently the Tahs have just signed a young and enormous SA lock from the Currie Cup, Le Roux Roets.

No clue as to if he's any good, but if he can't make any of the six SA franchises I'm not optimistic...

I thought we'd learned our lesson with Hendrick 'Dud' Roodt, but apparently not.........
