Marcus Ashcroft and Scott Clayton are apparently there from GC too. Probably the best chance to open the door to one or more talented South Africans as Int. Scholarship listed players.

Agreed, although the South Africans haven't had the week in, week out experience of playing in Australia (Queensland) like the recent PNG recruits have had. We saw at IC08 how useful that was to the Naurans who spent time in Australia (Victoria) first. As we've discussed privately, it may require some scholarships into Australia such as WA, to get some of the South Africans up to the standard to make it easier for recruiters to take that leap of faith. But who knows, maybe someone will show too much potential to resist.
