Get Jones back to the club as a specialist full-backs coach - his protege has arrived.

I don’t think he’ll be allowed to. Hopefully the rules change sooner than later.

Fine. Then get Deano instead.

how? by zoom/teams? he's not allowed to enter the club while unvaccinated...

While he is only listed as 194cm he looks like his reach greater than an average player his height due to long arms. The opposite of Matty Watson who was 195 cm but 60cm of that was his big melon.

Heard he was the same height as fisher from the neck down.

The last Dom’ went ok, few flags. Let’s hope the second verse is as good as the first in his own special way. Welcome Dom.

Few years of bulking to match the heart and he will have a base. Up to him from there. Congratulations young man.

I don't remember Dominic Fotia playing in any flags.

Back in familiar territory, this is what Dom Akuei had to say after officially becoming a Blue.

Such a softly spoken young man. Sounds like an impressive kid. Can’t wait to see what he can do after a full preseason.

Big Dom has been wearing no.14 at training, we’ve found a long term replacement for Jones. Real excited to see how he develops

 

[BigBreakfast]

Athletic Sudanese types seem to be the rage. Glad we are ahead of the curve. Crack in kiddo.

I suspect guys like Mac Andrew going Top 5 is going to be the norm in the coming years.

Never recruit a guy with two first names

Like the potential versatility Dom presents. Ruck, back, athleticism, length. Nice.
