Ah... is he the guy from Batley ???

Fil .... I left the uk in 2008 and coverage of the British game is quite sketchy here ... If it's not state of origin it doesn't exist!

Saw him against Catalans and looked alright.

On the fence really with this one and will see what he brings first. As others have said JK knows him better than anyone and that's good enough for me.

If JK doesn't know the lad and have an idea how he will fit in at Trinity, I think we are screwed.
Certainly a big unit and alongside our current pack (well the ones that are staying), he should go well.

Welcome aboard & good luck !

JK clearly thinks he will be a good addition to the 2017 squad so that will do for me.

Maybe he won't a first choice prop and will provide cover. He's certainly a big unit and we'll just have to see how he goes. Need to take a chance sometimes.

Be a similar player to Mickael Simon (less leg speed being the main difference)

Go to watch Batley when wakefield dont have a game(making use of £5 deal with SL season ticket) as Big Lads mate said did have a poor game against Fev as did most of team did that day but overall has had a good season and was the captain for one of Batleys most successful seasons ever so that must count for something. well worth a try.

Any body that dons the red white and blue will get my full support, I'm the last person to say otherwise.

Could flourish in a full time environment. Happy with this as a one year project.

Probs brings another corrie fan, as well as Mick A

he will get us to the top 8 next year!! NOT

So next year we might have Fafita, England, Hirst and Simon with maybe one more plus Yates and Walker. How are you not happy with that considering our budget?

We are losing Scruts.... We need a front row forward anyway for competition

Hirst is 6'5" and a big strong lad

He's captained Batley to their best season in years under the management of our incoming football director

I would assume JK has been key to this transfer and therefore he recognises Hirst talent - skills and physical attributes and therefore he is worth a deal. Key is how he reacts to the full time environment and the pace of SL.

I think he'll do a great job.

Funny how he's been written off before he's even rocked up for training

Him and England in a starting front row

Young British Prop, will do for me. Welcome aboard Keegan.
