16 FIVE NEW SIGNINGS TO WATCH JACK CONLON CASTS HIS EYE OVER A HANDFUL OF PLAYERS LIKELY TO CATCH THE LEAGUE 1 HEADLINES THIS YEAR. Quentin Laulu-Togagae – Toronto Wolfpack The Wolfpack undoubtedly have a strong squad that includes a host of stars with Super League experience. It’s one of their Championship-poached players, however, that I feel will catch the eye this year. QLT has been ripping up the second-tier competition for Sheffield for the past six years, racking up 183 tries in 218 games and making himself one of the most feared attackers in the British game. Despite being 32-years-old, the livewire fullback has plenty of pace and a killer sidestep, that constantly causes problems for defences. He will be a real asset for the Canadian-based club, especially with the likes of Fuifui Moimoi, Adam Sidlow and Steve Crossley setting the foundations for their attack, while Blake Wallace and Rhys Jacks organise play. It wouldn’t surprise me if the former Samoan international tops the try-scoring charts this year. Joe Sanderson – Hunslet Sanderson has been sought after by Hunslet for a number of years and is a major coup for the South Leeds club. After spending five years in the Leeds Rhinos Academy system, the 19-year-old halfback established himself as one of the leading lights of the U19s competition. Known as a prolific goal kicker, Sanderson’s points record speaks for itself, with 13 tries and 102 goals in 19 appearances last year. He also levelled Liam Finn’s record of 41 consecutive successful goal kicks during last season, which in itself is no mean feat. As a ball player, he has great vision and is no stranger to taking charge of the game, having taken over from Jordan Lilley as Leeds U19s main halfback when Lilley was promoted to the first team. While Hunslet started their season on a sour note last week with a big loss against Newcastle, Sanderson could be a key figure as they look to change their fortunes. Phil Joseph – Workington Town After being involved in the liquidation circus at Bradford, Workington offered Joseph a www.allgoldsrugby.com @AllGolds facebook.com/AllGoldsRugby
lifeline and a chance to be one of the leaders within their squad. The Cumbrian outfit are Joseph’s 11th club in a career which has spanned 13 years across three divisions, meaning he joins with bags of experience. The 32-year-old can play anywhere across the front row and while he isn’t the tallest player, he makes up for it in his stocky figure and physical nature and will be sure to lead Town’s pack this year. Having played in Super League for the past five years, Joseph is a major signing for the Cumbrian outfit, as they look to win promotion back into the Championship. 17 Ash Robson – York City Knights Robson is one of League 1’s most impressive newcomers and while he isn’t particularly known now, I’m sure he will be this time next year. The young fullback was touted as Castleford’s new number one when Luke Dorn retired at the end of last year, but a ruptured kneecap in pre-season blighted his chance to show what he could do. The 21-year-old has bags of pace and is smart with the ball, regularly setting up chances for his teammates as well as himself. And with proven try-scorers David Foggin-Johnston and Tommy Saxton on the flanks, York’s attack is looking much stronger ahead of this season. Robson could arguably compete at Super League level, and so is a real handy pickup for the Knights. Lewis Charnock – Barrow Raiders The Raiders are many people’s picks for promotion this year and are certainly stronger with Charnock on their books. The stocky halfback/hooker has been part of the St Helens side since making his Super League debut as a 19-year-old in 2013 but has found playing opportunities hard to come by, with the likes of Luke Walsh, Theo Fages and James Roby in front of him. He had an impressive loan spell at Bradford last year, scoring 64 points in 12 games and being very influential in their victorious Championship Shield run. A move to Cumbria, therefore, allows him to settle and play his game without worrying about his future, for the meantime anyway. His halves partner is former North Wales Crusader Jamie Dallimore, who has arguably been one of League 1’s best players for a number of years and with former Workington stars Brett Carter, Dec Hulme and Jarrad Stack also coming in, the Raiders are bound to be a threat in this year’s competition.
