| Rhys Lovegrove just announced is on trial.
He was good at Hull KR and is very welcome to me - he'll fill a definite gap in the front row. One months trial apparently but I'd guess one or three of our signed props will be looking around with frowns on their faces right now.

| I thought he was more of a 11, 12 or 13... Pretty sure he is was 13 for London last year?
That said its really not where we need to strengthen is it. Any chance of a 7?! Thackeray was useful on Sunday and stood out more than Addy IMO

| Another forward with SL experience to add to the pack. There are players who might be upset by the signing, but I worry it won't be the ones who should nervous.

| I'm quite pleased with this signing, where he will play and instead of remains to be seen. I saw him quite a few times for London last season mainly playing prop and it stood out a mile he had played a lot at a higher level, also Jamie Thackray as well. He missed a fair chunk at the end of last season due to a knock to the head, hopefully he's over that
A good signing

| The email suggests the club see him as a prop or loose.

| Has he had a preseason with London or did he leave end of last season?

He was played mainly at prop, my lad started most games at loose forward but was used more as another prop.

The next 22 rounds can be his pre season, same as Mathers ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif)

Exactly what I was thinking Nothus. I hope we're wrong.
Lovegrove would be a good addition given the stark drop in quality available after Sidlow, Clough and Kavanagh.
The Fev props showed ours up on Sunday I thought (apart from Sidlow) so I can understand Lovegrove getting an offer.

| Decent addition provided we still plenty of cap space for a half and it isn't as a replacement for one of better forwards leaving.

| I'd be happier if I actually believed it meant Lauaki was getting pushed down the pecking order
But, cynically, I suspect it's either that Kavanagh is out for the season, or the various rumours about Clough are true

| Decent signing. I know KR fans were gutted to see him go. Definitely see him more of a wide running second rower than a prop.

| I know 'it's another forward' but I think he'll go well for us. Solid, honest grafter who will do the tough stuff for the good of the team. You can never have too many of those types of player in your team. We have a few injuries in the pack at the moment but I expect once all fit we will see several go out on loan. Don't really see much of a place for the likes of Fleming right now and surely Lauaki will be pushed down the pecking order until he can contribute more.
Plenty of incentive for him to have a strong few weeks with us in order to get a deal.
