Sorry that’s my fault. The potential signing of a London prop for next year (Butler) reminded me of a year or two ago of missing out of signing another London prop (Bienek) who looked a beast on his you tube video. By all accounts Bienek hasn’t progressed well with the step up to SL.

No problem. If Bienek was a good prospect a couple of seasons ago, then he hasn't managed to realise that potential.

2 pages into this thread and RD hasn't commented yet on how we should be signing battye and not butler. He will not be happy!!

I don't think i have said this about Warrington for a long time but that is a smart signing. He looks to have bags of potential. Was he the local London lad signed from union as a youngster? He looked very good in SL though and is certainly a raw talent. Luke Yates was their star man though and he has struggled at Salford.

From Rochester, Kent. Came through the juniors at Medway Dragons (Amateur RL) before joining London Broncos Academy. Made his first team debut for the Broncos in 2018 aged 19 and has recently turned 22.

Hope he signs, will give extra interest for locals in Market Inn Sandwich having a Kentish lad playing for us, seeing as they are an unofficial support venue for the mighty WIRE. Before lock down a few more people were coming to watch us each game and getting interesting in rugby league in general.

Good work spreading the gospel, SW.

I’d be very happy with this signing. He looks like a handful and still only young with time to develop he does tick a few boxes. We are in desperate need of another big mobile front rower, we are already light in that department and question marks still remain over Latu/Kibula. Really hope we can pull this one off as oppose to being just another rumour.

Sitaleki just posted a picture on Instagram of him, Latu, BMM and Bodene Thompson. Latu looks to be in good shape, he's definately lost some timber since when i saw him when he first came over so hopefully he's taken his fitness seriously whilst in Quarantine and wants to hit the ground running hard

This could be an important bit of business. The market for props is not very deep so we need to try to discover a raw talent like when we got Hill from Leigh. I'd rather us focus on guys like this than be held to ransom by the agents of average props with SL experience taking advantage of the lack of alternatives. The potential upside for Butler is high.

Ha ha no they're all looking in very good shape, Clearly been putting in the work
If i could add a picture i would
They're running 4 miles every 4 hours for 48hrs for charity, if that's not fit i don't know what is, this would kill my fat ass
