Seems like a decent prospect to bring in on loan.


Very true Buzz but after 2 games (injuries to one side), there is so little class in the team to trouble any/many (delete as appropriate) teams. Unless the plan is to bring the quality in 2nd half of the season like last year, good prospects are not what we need. Glad to have another body on board though.

I agree totally. It's 3 seasons in a row we have started the year with a squad that is nowhere near good enough.

3 years on the spin we have rocked up to the start of the season knowing our squad is too thin. Real learning opportunity there for next season surely.

Sam Hall did a good job for us a couple of season back. Hopefully this kid can as well. In any event there should always be space in any squad for someone called Fenton.

Aren't the team going to be knackered soon? Dean Parata has already (well) exceeded 100 tackles for the season. No wonder he came off after 70 minutes against the Catalans. I think Rob Butler may be averaging more than a tackle per playing minute. We'll soon run out of players; more so than currently.

This is the problem with having such a thin squad. Obviously the step up from reserve level will be huge this season too.

Rise like Lions after slumber

Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you--
Ye are many -- they are few.'

And London being London will no doubt fail to learn from this I would expect.

Tison signed on permanent contract to end of season and Jones on loan to end of season.
I think we all saw the latter coming a mile off. He’s been solid this season. If we retain him for next season I think he will do well in the Championship. Tison I think has become more influential game on game and I think adds something. All in all a good day’s work.

Feels quietly positive doesn't it? Makin back to Wigan but should be offset by Waine and Bienek being fully fit
