On the plus side he's got a great sidestep and good pace.

On the minus side he looks a bit of a titch and those games were 7s where there is tons of space.

Would prefer we signed some tough forwards.

When I first read the headline I thought it said 7 players! What a name this guy has

How do you know he will be wanting in defence?

Two questions: When will he be here and does he count on our overseas quota being Samoan?

I suppose it's possible they had him lined up right from point of takeover and applied for a visa then and just waited to make announcement. If that were case he might be getting it around now.

I hope this guy goes well but don't we need, fit, used to conditions, ready to go now, hardened, experienced forwards who know either championship or super league that can help us win the proverbial 4 pointer on Sunday against Rochdale? This guy is exactly the opposite on all counts

I think he is probably fit....

Unfortunately those players will he all signed up at different clubs now.

I'm presuming and still hoping that us leaving 10 12 and 13 shirts free that we have players sorted for these positions but maybe waiting on their visas being accepted.

I bloody hope so because if not we are in the crap

where have you been the last few years? this is usual start to the season. No props,half backs that need to prove themselves etc., so look on the bright side: at least we haven't got the usual 15 back rowers that have to be played at full back wing hooker prop half back.

Recovering from an injury apparently

I wonder if we get any exemptions because technically we have signed a player from the other code.
Not that I expect us to be anywhere near our limits this season, but still worth a mention.
