Just got this though, the memebership email.

Good signing i think has looked good so far for us, maybe small for a prop but where we are wont matter a huge ammount at the minute.

Decent option for loose forward too.

I'd prefer to see him at loose as well. Pitts seemed to get bullied big time against Leigh's pack. Good addition to the squad.

Excellent signing. Our new props are head and shoulders above the ones that spelled Sidlow and Clough last year.

Yeah very pleased that we've tied this one up, especially considering our front row injuries.

Good signing. Good worker with decent hands. Definitely should be playing at loose once we get Kavanagh Clough and Sidlow back!

good signing. has fitted in pretty seamlessly since he arrived. agree hes a little small for a prop so would like to see tried at loose once everyones available.

Pitts is a much better second row than a loose forward IMO. He's a very strong runner out wide and often goes through a gap. The middle isn't his best place.

Great signing for you I would have him back at Rovers in a heartbeat he came to us as a young kid has played wing centre second row loose forward and prop in the last couple of seasons he played mainly prop for us and although he looks small for a prop he's hard to put down I know he didn't get on with our then coach sandercock as by his own admission apart from playing rugby isn't really interested in it and doesn't watch the game at all
