League express reporting he turned down a deal with Cronulla, St George and North Queensland to come to SL,I know you don`t usually get that insight but I doubt this happens often, especially to sign for us.

Highlights from 2019 https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2268541456742392 He used to be called Renouf To'omaga from what I can see, which confuses things a little.

What injury hit season?

He had a MCL strain that kept him out for six weeks, so hardly injury hit really. As proved by the fact that he played 14 games for the Bears.

Not sure why various outlets exaggerate but in this case it’s way OTT.

They just assume if you didn't play every game you must be injured.
They just don't have the data for the NSW Cup

Because it’s trinity.

If it were say Wigan or Leeds he would be a world beater reading the article.

My brother in law in Aus says he will be a good signing and many are puzzled as to why doesn't get regular game time in the NRL.

Royce Hunt said "I'm coming too" on that post!!

I don't think you'll have meant it to come across that way but your comment reads very arrogantly.

How did you come to the conclusion that he didn't miss the remaining available games through injury?

An excellent signing and just what we needed.
I happy with the pack now, particularly as young Eseh is on the verge of stepping up and he looks good!

I didn't mean it arrogantly as I'm no expert on NSW Cup but I was aiming at the media and FB comments rather than someone specific on here.

But if you Google his injuries you find he was out for 6 weeks with an ACL strain and nothing else.
If you search North Stdney Bears NSW Cup team it says he played 114 games for them, not just the 43 he played for Cantebury.
I'm OK getting the 5th best prop at Roosters.

He did miss them through injury and that is unfortunate. But it simply want injury hit in anyones language.

Also the injury want serious or chronic in any way.. in other words he’s no more a risk than any other player. He. Oils get a bad injury this season but it won’t be as a result of last season imo.

You know the player I’m looking forward to seeing more of this year is Butler. He’s possibly the biggest of our props and from what I’ve seen he can play.

We coach and a good off season, he may well turn out to be the surprise package

I was thinking the same about Bowden. I think he and Butler will be really good for us.
Add Whitbread and we could have a really strong front row.
