Sounds like a new signing is set to be announced later this evening..

Heard a whisper it might be a Prop, played some SL but not currently at a SL club.

Don't be so petty. Born yesterday I wasn't.

Now even I with the cryptic crossword nous of a foetus, managed to get that one.

Gone back to oz for personal reasons hasn't he. Hair doesn't look right for him either unless he's grown it a lot. Does look like a prop/2nd rower.

He has girls hair whoever it is and I'll be telling him to his face when I see him.

Don't think Pettybourne had a relative who played for Bradford.

Epalahame Lauaki now confirmed on 1863 email.

Good signing!! Will add some nastiness to the pack. His discipline is a slight concern but that's to be expected with players with a bit of mongrel.

I felt that we needed an extra prop adding to the squad when it was announced that Mark Offerdahl was released. Lauaki adds some more depth at a vital position. Another good addition in my opinion.

Excellent signing, another quality addition. Very happy!

Yep, you really can't argue with that one. It's getting weirder by the day; was a time when whoever we signed, the majority would have some issue or other with it, but this time round, it is as if world peace has broken out, and we are all pretty happy with the squad as it is built.

This goodwill to all men shoite can't last ... can it?

Excellent signing guys. The icing on the cake for 2015. Hope to see you back in SL for 2016.

Merry Christmas to one and all.

I'm really happy with this signing. He's a hard borderline dirty sod and to be honest that's going to be handy in 2015.

Pleased with that. Gives us niggly player we were missing and more size in pack.

We've had big props, hard props, flashy props, fast props, props with not quite enough weight etc etc, but a big nasty bugger is something we haven't really had for some time and he fits the bill for me!
