Hopefully he does well, plus point would be that it's another permanent signing to cover for when loanee's are recalled.

Played at Shaw Cross for the last couple of years since he got back from Australia, with his second spell at Hunslet in the middle of that.

James has all of the attributes to play at this level. He's Huge, got a fair pair of hands on him and is lightening fast. The only things that have ever been in question were his fitness and work ethic. He's dropped over 3 stone lately, so I think it's fair to say he's fixed those up.

Best of luck James from everyone at Shaw Cross.

Yeah. We really should have beaten Underbank and drawn with Hunslet, but they're both well fancied so not bad results. Beating Blackbrook at the weekend was a good result. They're normally untouchable at home and we hammered them 46-10. We've a very new team so the lads are getting used to each other. Having Paul March in there is making a difference to us. Ash Lindsay too when he's available.

Good stuff can imagine March having that effect. How's the lad who trialled with Toronto getting on? Saw his shirt you have made to sell off decent shirt

Monte's really good to have around the place because his enthusiasm is infectious. One of the nicest blokes you could ever meet too.
He's still learning the game, but he's a sponge. He's picking things up very quickly.
