on a short tearm deal till the end of the season, with the challange been laid down for him to earn a permenant deal

your thoughts would be appreciated

I'll be honest Daz.. you have a decent player there. No idea why he left Widnes. The rumblings have been there for the last couple of weeks that he wouldn't commit himself to properly getting himself fit and this 'mutual arrangement' has come about for him to leave.

From what we saw he could be a very handy player to have. Some that know their RL say one of the best second rowers in this division.

From the Widnes angle.. he has hardly played and the players we have now in Grayshon, Fletcher, Morrison and Varkulis are adequate cover. Makes sense.. wonder if someone else will be coming in in the next 24 hours

cheers for the info
hope fully we can get him fit and get a good few games out of him

Thought we had one for the future there in Bannister but we're not in the business of letting players go without good reason. If it wasn't working out for him at Widnes then fair enough, I hope he has an absolute stinker and learns from Ben Black if he ever faces us

I was good mates with Banny at school. He was all class! He was the best u15 and under 16 talent in the country along with Scott Moore and Paul Clough. He was vice captain for England u16 vs France.

However since school his attitude as stunk. Which is a shame considering he was very clever in school. Got A's in English and P.E.

Shame his wasting his talent as both Saints and Harlequins got rid for discipline reasons.

Rodney Trotter has a GCE in art but is still a plonker

just out of curiosity has the "handbrake kid" played at all for you guys this season since his injury?thought he was ok for us last season and prob wud have still been in our ranks if it werent for his love of showing off his boy racer skills in front of wilky and co!!

To be honest when he was at Widnes I didn't really rate him.

I do think at the end of this season there will be a big clear out

Had an encouraging debut against Fev, did nothing outstanding (after 30 mins none of our players did really) but tackled his heart out.

He didn't look overweight at all either as a couple of Widnes fans said, looked quite trim actually. Not sure whether he'll be playing Friday though.

Doubt he'll be recoverd after last nights drinking session! Him and Matt Gardner where legless round town.

One is ex Quins the other soon will be ex Quins as he is useless as well.

This perceived drinking culture at your club is going to do the players no good in the long run.
