Im really impressed by a lot of the comments from Penrith fans on what a good signing we have got in terms of both a player and a person. Looks like the club have done their homework and backed it up with cash which is really encouraging.

Also impressed with the Penrith fans taking the time to share their views and be positive rather than slate a guy who has left.

What would you say is his best position ?.
We look light on front rowers but heavy on back rowers and potential loose Forwards

God no let's not do this.

He clearly looks a 2nd row/13. Let's not add a bit of quality and then play him out of position. If we want quality props let's go out and sign them, not try and wedge people in.

A few people have said we are 2nd row/13 heavy. In numbers maybe but not in quality and on paper Trent is quality.

Yep, play as may as poss in their best positions. If we have to go with a lightweight front row, so be it. Been done before, not always without success.

I'm not suggesting we play him at prop if he isn't a prop. I honestly don't/ didn't know his best position. That's why I asked

.

Has to be our loose. We need another metre muncher and we have a decent squad.

Given our interest in SOL, I have hopes Merrin has been signed at 13. Will be great for Cam Smith and take pressure off Ward and Ferres. We’re rumoured to be looking for another prop which also fits this version.

I always preferred him as a ball playing prop forward. Obviously he can play lock too. Positional situation should crystallize once your signings are completed.

Coolies

Hopefully we still have cap space for a big forward, if we let Garbutt go in order to sign another loose forward and resign JJB and Ablett then it is a huge mistake and we will get bullied by every team with a big pack

In the YEP article the other day he’s described as a “prop” and the “front rower” so perhaps that suggests where he will play?

Cuthbertson will be the loose forward prop, if he is still here, not sure why people are thinking different.
