London Skolars have signed Ronny Palumbo and Robert Tuliatu from West Wales for the rest of the 2019 season.

Tuliatu has appeared for Greece on the international scene, while Palumbo has experience of playing in the New South Wales Cup for Manly Sea Eagles and Wests Tigers.

The pair are in contention to make their debut for the Skolars against Coventry Bears on Good Friday.

Skolars coach Jermaine Coleman commented: “I’m looking forward to working with Rob, who has had a really good start to the season at West Wales Raiders.

“He played against us and was really difficult to handle. He has a great offload game, hits and spins really well and he will just bring a new dimension to our forward pack.

“I’m glad we have got Ronny on board. He is an exciting player, a great ball carrier and runs with some real determination.

“He is extremely difficult to handle and has some really good footwork. I think his versatility across the board is going to be really helpful for us.”
