Looks like Peteru is without a club. Not seen him play but has size!
Aged 29 6ft 5 inches nd weighs in at 17.5 stone. Named as a prop & second row.Leigh jettisoned him last season & he ended up at Huddersfield. I know nothing of him other than Leeds brought him across for 3 years in 2017 but thy released him after 2 years & 36 games presumably for more game time at Hull KR . Last season he played 12 games each for Leigh then Huddersfield.
Would he want to drop down to the championship aged 29? I would think Toulouse may be his first pick if they want him. Does he want to play prop as we do not need another second row? Undoubtedly looks more of a prop than our reserve props Baker & Grady. His size would be useful if he uses it. Boils down to whether he would want to drop to part time & if we could meet his money expectations.
Doubt we can afford him and doubt he would want championship rugby, if he does I would expect him to be Leigh bound
He was at Leigh last season, they loaned him out to Huddersfield and seemingly haven’t offered him a new contract. I doubt he’ll end up here though, mind.
Love him at Widnes. Need 1 big nasty prop and I be really happy with our squad.
The shortage of props generally and Leigh's inclination to sign anyone on offer might suggest that all that he offers is size.
He plainly needs a platform to show what he can do and we haven't done badly with our South Sea signings in the past with Koloto, Flymo, Sorenson, Winterstein etc etc.
If a deal could be done it would boost our pack with size and experience.
If he can't get a SL gig with Toulouse I bet he ends up at Newcastle.
Any news on loan signings or partner club?
Any news on loan signings or partner club?
Obviously not.
It would have been announced if so..
Might be wrong but the impression I got was the relationship between ourselves and Wire wasn't great after various points last year (Doro/Robson?). To be honest I wouldn't be sorry to see the end of us being Wire's Partner, hated the idea anyway.
On a practical level, unless we have a small pool of previously agreed DR players, then I don't see the point as you are going to end up with a disjointed lineup if players are popping in for a game here and there.
Spot on CJ!
IMHO, only the SL club get any real benefit from dual reg players by keeping them fit in a competitive environment.
Pascal knows a good season ahead with plenty of passion. The props have been motivated by Pascal, and if any of you near the Gold seats give me a wave. I will be the fired up one shouting les Widnes les ecrasent. I will be wearing a beret saluting winners. 👍
