I suppose Dalton Grant fulfils Chalmers promise that we'd sign someone from the World Cup - albeit I think it has more to do with John Kear than anyone that Chalmers 'scouted' at the WC

Grant didn't pull on a Broncos jersey in the season leading up to the RLWC as he was injured, so goodness knows how he got a Wales squad place. Good luck to him.

Pretty pleased with this signing.

A player Kear obviously knows/trusts who obviously really wanted to come (sounds like he was back in pre-season for London and under contract).

I thought he looked really useful whenever he played against us for Dewsbury. Quick, good finisher and plenty of experience at Championship level.

He must be an improvement on Macani. Hope his injury problems are behind him now.

If we sign Alex Brown as well I think we should be happy. Him and Grant are players that know the coach, want to play for him and will make the likes of Ryan/Oakes/Smith/Gibson really work for their places in the side. Also a bit more age and depth added to our young squad.

Look at this, posted back in September! Maybe Chalmers was on here looking for inspiration

Think Olbison has recently signed a new deal so looks unlikely.
I wonder whatever happened to Dalton Grant. He was a great winger while he was at Dewsbury, signed for London at the end of last season but doesn't seem to be playing much rugby for the Broncos.

You've signed some rubbish from the Broncos in recent times

Not kidding. Thankfully most of them have been sent packing. This one is from Wales though so he at least has a better pedigree than one of them there soft Southern b*ggers like Oscar Thomas or Iliess Macani.

Don't forget the fastest backrower in Super League, as well.

I continue to try to forget him.

Incidentally another massively disappointing and under-performing ex London & Bradford winger has just had news announced. Omari Caro signed for Skolars.

That's at least one hat trick against us guaranteed then...

I find it annoying that while London have been sending us dross in recent times, we've sent them Jay Pitts and Adrian Purtell, both great players at Championship level.
