I'm sure the London rejects at Leigh will love to prove you wrong when we meet.

Strange how he has not kicked on, I remember his last season looked like he would go on to be total animal but for whatever reason it hasn't happened. I didn't see much of him against Fax as he picked up another injury but maybe just missing a bit of fire in his belly.

He's big thats for sure especially for someone so young. Didn't appear to get a chance a Hull (nor London as he wasn't a starting prop in the championship)

A number of the young London lads leave but very few do much, other than ? Clubb, LMS, McMeaken

I spoke with Webster the Fev coach at the Leeds trg camp in Spain and he said anyone finishing above London will win the league. He thinks it's a 3 horse race between TO, London and you lot. Fev are reliant on DR with Leeds (his words)

I think London are 3 players short. Mitch Allgood is rumoured to be coming in.

It looks like a great league. Be good to see Leigh back up there.

I remember watching a highlights clip on Youtube when we signed James Green from Hull KR, he looked liked a world beater/monster.....look how that turned out.

This lad will flourish playing to the North Stand. I can't see there being much of an atmosphere playing at London, Doncaster or Batley. He is my tip for the top. Will end up playing for England and in the NRL over the next few years. Enjoy him playing for Leigh while you can.

He played 16 times for Batley last season, I think you should go on the Batley TotalRL forum and tell them one of their players from last season will be an international and playing in the NRL over the next few years and see what reaction you get.

You jest but its a well know fact what playing to the North Stand at Leigh can do for a player.

I remember Alex Walmesley and Anthony England playing on loan to Batley some years ago, and they destroyed the Leigh pack at Mount Pleasant. I rest my case m'lud. :O) NRL clubs have been keeping their eye on him but he chose Hull.

If this lad puts the effort in, he can go all the way. He has size, power and speed. Really looking forward to seeing him play to the North Stand. He will be another Timmy Street ... but bigger!

Leaving aside the fact that England has never played for Batley, you've missed the point.

Ian, I agree that this guy Bienek can be useful for us,however ,I'm a little apprehensive regarding our pivots,but i really hope i'm wrong. one guy from Hull fc, fullback Connor Wynne is a very good player, who i think is on D R at Bradford. I'm surprised we haven't got his services for the season on loan. Maybe they will need him for cover if there is an injury to Jamie Shaul. Looking forward to the season ahead regardless.

One good sign is that the highlight reel is not 1 minute long. If we can get him motoring off well timed short passes he will make breaks and draw 2 or 3 defenders regardless of getting the ball or not. I think our halves will love having this lad around, and so will the backs who benefit from the extra space he will create.
From what I can find to read, I think we have just made 3 very good additions that are exactly what we needed right now, without breaking the bank.
Bring em on !

I didn't expect you to be getting so excited about this signing tbh.

Bienek got a few games for us at the back end of 2018 and he did ok, but it was no more than ok. Last season his pre season was affected by injury and I think there were salary cap constraints that contributed to him having to go out on loan. This year I expected him to get more of a chance so I was quite surprised and a little bit disappointed to see him go to you, but I will keep an eye on his progress with interest. He has promise for sure, but he hasn't yet done anything of note, so I wouldn't get carried away.

I won't get carried away....thanks !

Defence seems weak, but he has size and pace for sure
