Paolo Odogwu on the move perhaps
« on: May 15, 2019, 10:17:27 AM »
Rumoured to be leaving Sale, Twitter noise, don't know much about him but his place of birth is Coventry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paolo_Odogwu and he went to KES, Birmingham.

His stats look okay but he hasn't had many starts, 15 stone and 5'9" and from what I read quick.

When I watched him in the 7s, he was a real handful: quick and with great footwork.

He got hyped up after one of the Singha 7's tournaments, but not followed Sale closely enough to see how he's faired in the normal season games.

He's seemed a prospect on the limited times I've seen him. But guess he has some notable players (Ashton, Jennings, Yarde, Solomona) ahead of him so maybe he's looking for gametime elsewhere.

I would take a punt on him. I think Sirker has another season in the Academy/A Team as part of his 2 yr transition to 15-a-side. So Odogwu would certainly add some depth to our wing options.

From his Twitter account he is a fan of Christian Wade (who isn't) and seems to be similar in terms of running style, pace and footwork. A move closer to home and he wouldn't be that expensive I would have thought and is EQP. Anyone else out there heard anything?

He's like a slightly more bulky version of Wade. Extermely quick. I'm guessing being behind Ashton, Solomona, McGuigan and Yarde he wants more game time and if Sirker isn't promoted (I thought RicohChez said there would be announcements soon... presuming that Ricoh has the inside scoop.. which if my hunch is correct.. he does) then he would be a perfect fit

Seen him loads and a def no from me. Defensively naive and surprisingly little in attack.

From what I saw in the 7's at the start of this season, much was made of him but I saw very little that lived up to that hype. I could be proven wrong - as I usually am.

Look at the colour coding on his Instagram, or am I reading too much into it?

Look towards the end of the description. Two emojis, one black, one gold.
