I'm hoping for somebody who has had more than just one good season, especially if we're using a Uni place.

That’s the question Doom,are we using a uni place? Or as both you and me have speculated could we have lost a player? Like you say they will be only a limited pool of players wanting to take up that offer. If this is a reaction by Fox to a failed attempt to lure a high end player then I’d rather take him than another Kristo type.

Westerdale speaking about the latest signed Canadian import.


“There will be 12 Canada-born players on the roster, if you count British Columbia-born Brandon Whistle, who is qualified to play for Great Britain.
The dozen also includes a player from a similar part of Canada, who has yet to be announced by the club.”


Canadian from British Columbia, had an eventful career. Off we go to elite prospects.

I wonder if we'll start the season carrying a spare import or are we spent up with the final 2 signings.

I can't remember what happened last season - Did we start the season carrying a spare?

I've just read the article and Bob mentions a second Finn who didn't have the most productive season last year.

It certainly all points to Juusola.

Whilst there is undoubtedly a risk with his signing after last season, I'm far less concerned with this than I was with Connolly and Mitchell last season.

I think there's a very big potential upside with Juusola and suspect we only got him because of the poor season he had.

The season before he put up good points in one of the best leagues in Europe and was top of his team on +/-......you don't do that if you're not talented.

I’d guess he would be out of our scope based on his CV, and also isn’t it a right winger we need whereas that would give us 2 top line centres with him and Watling

I don't think we'd planned to, but ended up signing one due to Mitchel getting injured before he travelled over.
