Decent addition provided we still plenty of cap space for a half and it isn't as a replacement for one of better forwards leaving.

How many ex London players do we have now, I make it 5 off top of my head

We are getting like Leigh with Salford

I'd be happier if I actually believed it meant Lauaki was getting pushed down the pecking order

But, cynically, I suspect it's either that Kavanagh is out for the season, or the various rumours about Clough are true

Decent signing. I know KR fans were gutted to see him go. Definitely see him more of a wide running second rower than a prop.

Re: New signing : Wed Feb 10, 2016 7:03 pm  

I know 'it's another forward' but I think he'll go well for us. Solid, honest grafter who will do the tough stuff for the good of the team. You can never have too many of those types of player in your team. We have a few injuries in the pack at the moment but I expect once all fit we will see several go out on loan. Don't really see much of a place for the likes of Fleming right now and surely Lauaki will be pushed down the pecking order until he can contribute more.

Plenty of incentive for him to have a strong few weeks with us in order to get a deal.

Yes, see Jamie Foster for Giants this weekend as an example.

But I guess we'll see tomorrow if he's named in the side for Whitehaven

With Crossley, Clark, Kavanagh, & Clough already on the injured list, Lovegrove should at least help short term. Anything that means us not considering Fleming is an improvement in my book. He also can't do any less than Lauaki.

If after that month trial he hasn't impressed enough and two or three of those injured are back, we release him and are no worse off.

Win-Win situation for mine.
