Palmyra Finals Coup Set to Move the Competition

[fulvio sammut]

After last year's restructuring of the local competition rules, Palmyra has been quick off the blocks to ensure its success this year.

Palmyra's President Kim Short announced tonight after training that three key signings have been secured by the club for this year's finals should Palmyra make the cut.

The Cardiff Blues have agreed to release the services of Wales and British Lions centre Jamie Roberts and the Sale Sharks have released English prop Andrew Sheridan to Palmyra to play for the club between the 1st August and the 30th September 2010, should the club be eligible for the finals series.

It will not come cheaply; the deal, organised through the connections of Palmyra's former first grade coach, Englishman Dave Ball, involves a 5000 pound stirling payment to each club, fares and accommodation for the players, and a match fee for each game of $2000.

But the cream of the coup has been securing the services of recently retired Wallabies flanker George Smith, who has agreed to play for the club for an undisclosed match fee, provided it does not clash with his commitments to his new European club in 2010, contractual arrangements with which have not as yet been finalised.

Palmyra has concentrated on Northern Hemisphere signings as the local season is unlikely to coincide with their own European club and representative seasons.

With the new RugbyWA policy in place, permitting non playing but registered players to participate in finals, Palmyra has stolen a march on other local clubs, and feels that provided it can make it to the final four, it will have every chance of taking out the big one this year.
