Well, he's no longer listed on the Ospreys website, so I assume he's been released by them. Can't say I know much about him. Anyone seen him play?

Edit: Confirmation he was released from Ospreys at the end of last season.

Is a winger a priority, or should a winger be a priority?

Would not have thought so. Visser, Walker, Earle, Ibitoye and Mikalcius seems like a decent selection to me.

Could be a case of he's at a loose end, & is willing to to a limited contract or a pay for play deal, & we have some cash spare & can use him some times if we want to rotate players depending on fitness.

He also has a lot more experience that 3 of our wingers mentioned above.

Do we know if Mickalcius is back ft yet???  I am sure there was a rumour we were after a winger earlier (think Cuthbert was mentioned) so maybe Gustard is a)not convinced with what we have b) has other plans for one/two of them or c) he thinks that if a good player is available, you would be mad not to have a look at him.

Is it possible that the club are looking at cover for perennial sick note that is Saili.

Wiki says Hassler plays at wing and centre.

I think Mickalcius is a complete unknown. All we know about him is that he can score tries in the league below and looks quite handy at 7s.

Potentially a bit of a concern in defence though...

Of course we do also have the underrated Alofa as a wing/ centre option. But it is not just Saili who has been beset with injuries. I am not sure Joe Marchant is yet back fully fit after his injury at the end of last season? So the club might be concerned about strength in depth come 1st Sept. Hassler seems to have been a big hit at Ospreys with a good strike rate. I reckon he would make a useful addition to the squad. Experienced but still in his prime.

A friend of mine is an Ospreys fan, and his message to me on Twitter was "If this is what I think it is, all I have to say is,
You LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY barstewards!"

I think that sums up how the 'Spreys fans rate The Hass.

Does anyone know why he left/was let go by Ospreys?  At 26 he should be coming into his prime I would have thought.

Reading through the comments on the Walesonline piece, it appears his agent had lined up a move down south that didn't come off. By the time that fell through, the Hairsprays had already made the deal for North & the deadline for Hassler asking for an extension had also passed, so he was left without a contract.
