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.

Yes, see Jamie Foster for Giants this weekend as an example.

| With Crossley, Clark, Kavanagh, & Clough already on the injured list, Lovegrove should at least help short term. Anything that means us not considering Fleming is an improvement in my book. He also can't do any less than Lauaki.
If after that month trial he hasn't impressed enough and two or three of those injured are back, we release him and are no worse off.
Win-Win situation for mine.

| Great signing as he stood out for London when he played there and was always steady at KR.
Not sure I like the one month loan options as again I hope it's not like last time we tried it and ended up just getting players fit for their respective clubs (although he's not currently at a permanent club)

It's not a loan. Lovegrove officially left London before we announced his one month trial. If he looks ok we sign on a deal if he doesn't we aren't stuck with him for a yr or two. And it gives us cover while we have four props injured. Think that's pretty sensible way of doing things as opposed to giving out one and two year deals on players who we aren't sure about,like we did last year.
