6ft 3 and 21 Stones, yes please

Those fans also where happy to sign Reynolds. It's weird as all I've read about him from Dogs fans on social media is that he should be playing, now he is leaving its all negative.

One thing for certain is that we need more minutes out of him (think he did more in NSW cup), so he might have to work in his fitness, will be targeted in defence too.

Get him put through the ringer in pre-season. I'm willing to trust uncle Tosh but we don't want another Hutch.

Puzzling comments again on a young player signing. You can’t compare his Nrl game time to sl. It’s a different competition playing different style of rugby. The likes of fitzgibbon will know more about him than anyone on here does.

Presume he’ll take the number 10 shirt?….

Can see him taking 17 or something

Sao 10
McMeeken 8

Has to 10

Knowing you, as I do - as a relative newcomer to Rugby League - I'll excuse you for your pessimism, but young Islanders almost never fail in SL. Currently, Satae is easily the best prop in the comp - and he came over later than 22. I am thrilled we've signed Pele, and I'm absolutely certain you would be too.

No way is Satae the best prop in SL.

Was going to say the same! Since that run versus Cas, he seems to run sideways to target centres now

I was summarising the opinions of others and, as far as SL goes, they’re not at all pessimistic.

“Belongs in Super League” means the same there as here… but also carries an additional wider meaning, of course.

I am (technically) a part-time professional RL journalist now, btw. And after the weekend my general pessimism may be diminished… or even more deeply ingrained.
