James Harrison : Wed Aug 04, 2021 5:42 pm  

Apologies if it's on another thread as I can't see it but he's signed from Featherstone for next year.

Re: James Harrison : Wed Aug 04, 2021 6:44 pm  

Glad it's been announced, I haven't seen much of him but hopefully he will be good for us.

Re: James Harrison : Wed Aug 04, 2021 6:54 pm  

I do wonder what the hold-up is in announcing these deals? We knew he was signing three months ago.

Anyway, looks a good prospect.

Got all big wraps from fans of Featherstone and other clubs, played 4 Games for Leeds on loan and apparently played really well. Hoping he can take his Championship form in to super league

Does he bulk up a little and continue at prop a bit like Hill after his first season, or does he play in the second row/ LF?

Its a big step up, I wouldn't expect him to play too many games to start with until injuries create an opportunity. Up to him to take it.

You never know, we said that about Hill, then in his first season with us he won a Challenge cup, made the dream team and made his England debut........fair enough i doubt that will happen again but you never know.
Be interesting to see what happens next year with Holmes and Harrison coming in. Holmes is all in all better thab Hughes and Harrison could very well be. Be interesting to see the squad numbers next year.
Hughes or Holmes could be our new 13.

Sadly James suffered what looked a bad knee injury last week and James Webster says he's finished for the year. Hope he's ok for next year but desperately sad that we won't see him at Fev again.

Oh, SPIFFING.

Sounds like no real pre-season for the lad. Hope he goes OK.

Gutting for Harrison and Fev but with it being a knee injury, should give him the chance to concentrate on adding some upper body size, which is all he's really missing, think he'l be a good player for you.

James had ACL reconstruction surgery in London this morning. You don't need me to tell you that means a lengthy absence. Desperately unlucky for James.
