What position is he going to play.

He looks like a painter and decorator who has wandered into the stadium by accident. I hope he proves me wrong, but frankly, with that background, I would be amazed if he ever plays a first team game for us. Luther Burrell was at least a good RU player, but he was out of his depth in league. I suspect that about two years from now, there will be a 'whatever happened to that lad we signed from RU Sevens?' thread on here.

I don’t know about anyone else but I’m really worried about how happy SB looks in that photo.

He needs to put some weight on.

by the looks of this, he is a winger, the caveat to that being, I haven't a clue what's going on, on the pitch. https://youtu.be/KCr3QPHnwZg

Wow, couldn't which one he was or what the highlights were ha ha ha
If it's the guy who scored with the headguard on, it looks like, Dufty, Ashton, Thewlis and Williams would out pace him.
Ahh well will see how he goes, he's got 2 years to develop and might work out, if not he won't be on much wage wise and MIGHT not count on the cap with his Union background.
But all the best to him and welcome to the wire
