No need to have a go at Tigerade. A lot of Cas fans were slagging him off on their forum well before he was was rumoured to be coming to us. Sadly for Truey, I think our fans will give him a much harder time than theirs did. There's no reason he can't do well as a secondary playmaker behind Connor.

That feels a tad dramatic.
He's 23 and being playing for Cas for a number of years so he is plenty experienced.
He might take a little while to get up to speed true but nothing we haven't had before.

We will see, cant say ive seen him on a regular basis rip it up. At 23 done an ACL and had a back injury which kept him out of for a substantial period. Given hes probably not gonna have a preseason he will more then likely start slow. We have all seen what our supporters can be like given a series of poor performances or results. Can he hack that ? Im not so sure.

Its an improvement what weve got but I dont know if he can take us to the levels we aspire to be at.

I think Trueman has copped a fair bit of unfair stick from some Cas fans over the years. He came in and got a hattrick in his second game and had a fair bit of pressure on him from certain press reports saying how good a young player he is. He then got put at fullback in 2018 and performed steady away and then moved back to 6 eventually. Had a fair few different halfback partners over the years as Gale was often out injured. He had Rankin, Matuatia to name a few. He has had bad back injuries and this season has only just came back from them and has steadily improved and is our top assist this year. Still only 23 aswell. He's had some great games for us and some not so great games but he's still a young one and I think he will be a top quality player in years to come. I wish him well at Hull.

I've not seen enough of him to say what kind of signing he is going to be, but it's got to be a upgrade on Reynolds, good age so welcome jake

How many try involvements?

Those being negative, go give your head a wobble

Good signing for me although obviously a worry with his injury record. Looking on the bright side, when he's in the team we will score more tries, and when he's not at least our young halves will get opportunities.

There was no doubt he was getting back to form after that serious back injury.
I can see he is only 23 but i have to say i am concerned about this latest long term injury with his ACL.
Be very surprised if he was available for the first rounds of S/L next year

Happy with this signing , Hope the lad gets his injury sorted and comes back stronger for next season .
