He plays for Wests in Austrailia.

Never heard of him to be honest. He appears to be a utility player - with a good scoring record. 6 tries in 11 appearances this season. And he will not count on the quota.

Looks as though he will be a straight swap for Carney.

Anyone know if this guy is quick?

Anybody heard anything more about Galavio or the kiwi prop from the NZ Warriors??

Mo said he was being more careful this time about that prop after what happened with Davico. Haven't heard anything since

Weren't they leaving him to play a bit more of the season to make sure he had no re-occuring injury problems? thats the last i heard.

Thanks for that. Yeah Galuvao from Penrith. I know he has had injury problems this season. It seems sensible to check on that before making a move. Think he is under the Kolpak ruling too.

The other guy was Iafeta Palea'aesina from NZ Warriors. Anybody heard anything about this guy?? Kolpak too??

Dunno, but it'll cost a fortune to put that name on your shirt!!
