Not sure! He tweeted he was playing his first rugby game last weekend after a long injury layoff and was glad to be back on the field again.

Just looking at the JWC U20 squad.

Sam Jeffries: 200cm, 117kg, red hair. Someone get him to ink an EPS contract.

[brokendown gunfighter]

Rapana is with Pally.

and how does he look ?

[sittingbison]

unnamed sauce has it on good authority certain TWFers think he looks HOT!! %)

[TOCC]

his talented... but not of the same mould as Will Genia..

TIF I think Ebersohn signed two year deal, so that would be 2014

And did'nt Rapana sign a two year deal as well making him 2013?

Ebersohn - Yes two years

Rapana - got any evidence?

[James]

We should sign Genia Junior. There aren't enough Force players called Nigel.

Thanks SB and James, fornt page now updated.

21 signed, 9 to go and one has to be Bam Bam, so only 8 really.

OK new signings Sias Ebersohn takes The Artful Dodgers place and Dave Harvey takes Chuckies, here is where we are at now with these players not signed yet and their positions:
Phoenix Battye lock
Nathan Sharpe lock
Gene Fairbanks centre
Rory Sidey centre
David Pocock flanker
Justin Turner 9
Brett Sheehan 9
Cam Shepherd fullback
Napolioni Nalaga (marquee) wing

By my estimation we do not actually have any 9s. An unnamed sauce suggested Turner was not going to be offered a contract - he has played just 10 games out of I think 53 in four years and with the reduced 30 man squads is perhaps a luxury we can't afford. So we need a class 9 (second development player?) and a back up, should we sign Josh Holmes as the back up 9?

The two centres missing depletes our 12 options to nothing apart from Stanley, so a class 12 (the marquee) and a back up are required to take full advantage of Sias Ebersohn. At 13 we have Tupou and Rapana (HB alternates with a wing and Paddy with fullback)

We need two wings/full backs, definitely NOT marquees. We already have Alfie and Paddy to cover full back and HB to cover wing.

We need at least one lock. Sam Wykes should be right next year to take over from Sharpie.
