Has signed on loan for a month apparently. He's not someone I've seen too much of, so I will reserve judgement or say very little, though his apparent absense from the Salford first team coupled with serious head injuries does worry me slightly. Still, he is a prop and that's exactly what we need right now, so we will have to wait and see how he goes. Also eligable for the CC too.

He is a tryer but isn't the biggest prop in the world, about the same size as Massey.

You guys deserve better. Ur my second fab team and he is guff, must be desperate! Sorry

One thing you can say is that he will give you 100% - he never lacked for effort when he was at Warrington.

I think you may be pleasantly surprised, as long as you appreciate effort and work-rate.

Never going to be a block-busting forward though.

This if used in spells and like Forest Gump he will be fine, use him with 1 role only - hard yakker, find the floor and get up and play it quick...... Forget Lima and Hoffman stryle tricks and offloads.

For the record, the above is not a criticism in any way, a vital part of the game and much needed for us - he needs a limited brief of what to do, if you look at the top sides, their forwards have several sets and types of plan they work through. Puletua doesn't try and ping a pass every set, when needed they plough it in an try and get up quick.

We needed some cover and freshening up.

He's an extra body which is needed. I'd be disappointed if he stayed past the end of the season though.
