Watch: The Dragons just signed 116kg of prime American beef
By Online Editors
Thretton Palamo has seventeen caps for the Eagles and played much of his club rugby in Europe, becoming somewhat of a journeyman.
Palamo has played for Biarritz Olympique, Saracens, London Welsh, Bristol Rugby and now the Dragons, having also taken a sabbatical during this period to continue his studies.
He arrives at Rodney Parade as injury cover for Sam Beard and Tyler Morgan.
Beard suffered a shoulder injury against Edinburgh two weeks ago, while Morgan took a blow to the ribs in the win over Connacht last Friday night.
Bernard Jackman head coach of the Dragons said:
“He is a really good athlete, he is powerful and strong and has been surrounded by good environments since when he was with Saracens as well as during his time at the American 7s programme for the Olympics.
“I know him from when he was with Saracens and he’ll be a good addition to the squad, I look forward to seeing him play. He will be included in the match-day 23 for Ulster."

I like to see the Crusaders lose as much as the next non-Crusaders fan, but the fact that most of their best players have not been available this year is being hand waved away like it shouldn’t effect them. It’s no coincidence that their first dominant performance came when they had more of their best players back. This is not rocket science. If they can stay fit their team at the business end of the season will include Tamaiti Williams, Codie Taylor, Fletcher Newell, Scott Barrett, Quentin Strange, Ethan Blackadder and Cullen Grace in the forwards - most of whom have barely, or not played this year. That is an outstanding pack that have not played together this season. McLeod, Havili, Aumua, Reece, and Halfpenny will be a very different prospect behind their first choice pack as well. Having said all that Penney’s record is scratchy at best, but given the players that have left and their injury list I’m reserving judgement. Penney’s appointment, a bit like Foz, has a similar stench of the incumbent having too much say in his replacement. They are lacking a truly high quality and experienced 10 which will make it hard for them to go the whole way IMO, but the list of teams who would want to play them in the finals will be very short.
