I see him as the replacement for Karl Haggerty we never made. I'd be looking for him to play 30 mins a game, particularly to come on and give us some grunt against tiring defences. I'm not expecting much, just the grunt we've lacked because of a lightweight pack.

So he's gone on holiday in the off season?

He'll do alright here, then!

Poor signing, as a rule I dont mind us signing Aussies as Northerners dont always settle well in London. But not when they're like this, offers nothing that a British player couldnt bring and looked massively out of shape when he came down with Wildcats. If I wanted to watch unfit fatties playing sport Id be watching a different version of rugby,
