FIVE NEW<br />
SIGNINGS<br />
TO WATCH<br />
JACK CONLON CASTS HIS EYE<br />
OVER A HANDFUL OF PLAYERS<br />
LIKELY TO CATCH THE LEAGUE 1<br />
HEADLINES THIS YEAR.<br />
Quentin Laulu-Togagae – Toronto Wolfpack<br />
The Wolfpack undoubtedly have a strong<br />
squad that includes a host of stars with<br />
Super League experience. It’s one of their<br />
Championship-poached players, however,<br />
that I feel will catch the eye this year. QLT has<br />
been ripping up the second-tier competition<br />
for Sheffield for the past six years, racking<br />
up 183 tries in 218 games and making<br />
himself one of the most feared attackers in<br />
the British game.<br />
Despite being 32-years-old, the livewire<br />
fullback has plenty of pace and a killer<br />
sidestep, that constantly causes problems<br />
for defences. He will be a real asset for the<br />
Canadian-based club, especially with the<br />
likes of Fuifui Moimoi, Adam Sidlow and<br />
Steve Crossley setting the foundations for<br />
their attack, while Blake Wallace and Rhys<br />
Jacks organise play. It wouldn’t surprise me<br />
if the former Samoan international tops the<br />
try-scoring charts this year.<br />
Joe Sanderson – Hunslet<br />
Sanderson has been sought after by Hunslet<br />
for a number of years and is a major coup<br />
for the South Leeds club. After spending<br />
five years in the Leeds Rhinos Academy<br />
system, the 19-year-old halfback established<br />
himself as one of the leading lights of the<br />
U19s competition. Known as a prolific goal<br />
kicker, Sanderson’s points record speaks<br />
for itself, with 13 tries and 102 goals in 19<br />
appearances last year. He also levelled Liam<br />
Finn’s record of 41 consecutive successful<br />
goal kicks during last season, which in itself<br />
is no mean feat.<br />
As a ball player, he has great vision and is<br />
no stranger to taking charge of the game,<br />
having taken over from Jordan Lilley as<br />
Leeds U19s main halfback when Lilley was<br />
promoted to the first team. While Hunslet<br />
started their season on a sour note last week<br />
with a big loss against Newcastle, Sanderson<br />
could be a key figure as they look to change<br />
their fortunes.<br />
Phil Joseph – Workington Town<br />
After being involved in the liquidation circus<br />
at Bradford, Workington offered Joseph a<br />
