Apparently according to some Trin fans you may as well be dead at 30. Incredible when you consider what an effect the much older Bill Ashurst once had on Trinity.
And no I’m not comparing them ability wise but age is not relevant so long as they are fit and want to play.
At 30 I suspect he still fancies a few more seasons. Frankly I don’t care if he just comes and plays his heart out to get a contract at the end of the season and we never hear from him again. So long as we stay up it’s money we’ll spent.

| Quote: Dave K. "A bit of a similar story, both looked great in 2016/17, but picked up too many injuries. I honestly can't remember Bowdens last good game, probably 4 years ago. The fact we have just had two props suspended and we are releasing him, probably tells its own story.
Seems a decent bloke and hope he does well for you.'"
He had a blinder v our reserves other week tobe fair i know you may say wow reserves but we had players like battye buttler playing

| A possible good signing, as played in the props and at loose forward for Hull. Also had big game experience while playing for them, that could be valuable to us with the games coming up. I admit I haven`t seen him play this season, I think he got an injury , but always seemed to like taking the ball in. The change may do him good as he`s leaving a team that`s worse than Wakey on current form. Good luck Josh.

| Plenty of super league experience ,a change of scenery, and hopefully we see a good solid prop going forwards People were saying the same when we got Washy and look what an astute signing he turned out to be . If he comes I’m all for it ,you just never know when injuries/suspensions are going to hit and we need players of his calibre to get us home and dry this season at least, and give us time to regroup .As sad as it is to see Tupou and Johnstone go it’s certainly given us some wiggle room to freshen up the squad ,and seeing how Trueman has just committed to Hull it’s a defo on the Miller to Cas saga ,so more incomings in the near future . Exciting times ahead .

| Mmm, not sure about this one.
I'll be honest, if we were signing another prop, I'd rather have gone for Mulhern, unless of course, one is on the way out.
Prepared to give him a chance first, however in the Red, White and blue

I think it's more a case of some of the more recent examples Vasty.
We do have players in the squad, who are a shadow of what they were a couple of seasons ago, and part of this, sums up as to where we are with the position we are in.
Sadly, injury and age catch up with everyone.
He may go well, for the short term, but not sure that I would over the long term.
We could be totally wrong, and we'll just have ti wait and see

Minns? Davetanivalu? Adebiyi?
Hall has been good, Whitbread decent and it’s too early to say on Evans but overall i’d say it’s a mixed set to be honest.
Still really don’t see what Bowden beings to the party but there you go, time will tell.

That's wrong.
Davetanivalu - injured
Adebiyi - always a trial hence the one year deal for peanuts.
Minns - hasn't worked but this is a player WP knew well so he clearly felt he was going to get better.
Butler - to early to say.

| Let’s just see how he gets on, can’t bag a player before he’s even put on the shirt. Remember people slagging Ben Cockayne off saying he’s a reprobate (partly true) he’s not good enough. Ended up in the England train on squad that year with us. Same applies to Westerman, give the lad a chance ffs.
