Interesting how he said he’d expected to play 30 minutes a game as prop for Whitehaven, but as they often only had 13 or 14 players available for some games, he ended up regularly playing 70 odd minutes.
Could be useful experience for us, seeing as we are looking likely to be in a similar situation- unless of course we find a wave of new players via the open trials….

he seems up for a challenge doesn't he

He does- be good if we can add a few more like him.

I'm guessing/hoping that there will be new signings announced ahead of the open day.

My aspirations are a little lower. I just home we announce some new signings before the opening fixture.
