If some of the other players come I don't think its too much of a blow provided the replacement props put there bodies on the line and can stop the roll on.

We are trying, I think he will sign with the Broncs.
Ponga is on a three-year deal with the Brisbane Broncos as part of their development programme, but he has other NRL clubs courting him.

The Sydney Roosters, South Sydney Rabbitohs and Melbourne Storm have shown interest in the youngster.

At the end of November, Ponga will be allowed to sign with a club and the Broncos are keen to keep him on their books.

He could but being a fullback he is going to get by either Barba or Milford. Something he will have to think about.

Thanks Fizer.

With the right coaching and a bit of freedom could be one of the greats.

As per the 2014 signings Latrell Robinson has signed for 2 years suspect he will be playing NYC.

Looks like a winger and fullback, been toffing it up in GPS rugby at st. Josephs.

Looks like another Fast winger which we have lacked recently. The rugby people rave about him and can play SG Ball if needed next year as well.
