I'd have him back. Great guy and solid center.

Has been playing well but as a very abrasive player and at 35 I’m not sure it would be the wisest investment.

Any news on what he is up to next?

35 might be pushing it, but he's younger than Jimmy...  ;D

Didn't the Rugby Paper suggest that we're looking to bring in injury cover for Paolo? Whilst not like-for-like, he is an experienced centre who would help develop Spink & Simmons. As a short term stopgap we could do a lot worse.

Like this idea , guess he hasn’t got a contract/ thinking of stopping, as no new club mentioned.

Can anyone remind me of the circumstances of him leaving before?

I know Charles already had a commitment elsewhere, but I can't remember why Siale left - especially as both players seemed very popular

He was playing in Japan. Their season ended in January and we had the need to bring in a centre as injury cover, so signed him as a short term replacement until the end of the season. He then returned to Japan to see out his contract there. As by the time the contract ended, Jimmy was going well and we also had Kurtley Beale and Kyle Eastmond, there was no space for him to return, so he joined Bristol.
