New recruit , former Melbourne prop, good luck and welcome to Wakefield.

You doing owt every Sunday from February to sept next year?

Clearly it's his fitness that will be the issue playing week in week out in Super League against top quality props like Peacock, Masoe and Poore rather than scoring tries.

Do the hard yards and tackles in the middle throughout the season that's all that is asked. He looks a tall rangy prop albeit a bit heavier than Raleigh.

Can't see his fitness being the issue like it was with Hickey who had an obesity problem and was an embarrassment to professional rugby league. I'm sure this signing and the Dan Smith one was made sometime ago by a very astute Richard Agar in person down under so will have made an assessment. Hopefully the half back issue was resolved at the same time and the delay is deliberate

His CV speaks for itself, his intentions sound good and RA has a good record of picking up this type of player; the rest is academic until he pulls the shirt on and runs out for us.

Personally, I'd like to see nothing more than a bloke prepared to roll his sleeves up and do the hard work up the middle; no biff, no silly offloads and no hail mary passes to nobody in particular - just run straight and tackle hard!

This. Good luck to him.

Hope he does a good job for us and gets his career back on track as he's only 27.
