He's younger than Jordan James, and surely that sides poor form cannot be all down to him?

He's overweight, lazy and a liability from what I see of him.

No way is he Wigan standard and even though we'd improve him he never will be IMO.

more interesting is the bit about him not being 100percent and he will stop playing and not cheat, surely that can only mean drugs?

No I'm not saying he's wholly to blame for it, but if he was any good and the players around him are evidently playing badly surely they would keep him. It's not like the side is in the top 5 and he just doesn't make the cut, they're playing terribly, in the middle of an injury crisis and yet he's still far away enojgh from the best 17 that they are releasing him. In short he must be playing really badly and there's not much time for us to change that. Comparing him with Jordan James is daft, he wasn't signed to play for us and was only offered a contract after impressing in training. He also looked pretty decent for Salford and many of their fans would have liked him to be retained

I read 'cheat' as a poor translation for 'pretend' tbh. Tends to be a problem with Les Cats

How about a trial? 2-4 weeks to train with us and we take it from there? I agree he's not exactly a world beater, but to go back to Jordan James...he was hardly smashing it up last year, and was looking to sign for Gloucester before we gave him a contract. I'm not comparing the two like-for-like, more on the lines of...as a cheap experienced player, he may be worth a chance.

I'd have nothing against him trialling for us so long as he only gets taken on if he trains really well

Fakir is no better than what we've got in terms of props, I'd steer well clear. We're more in need of an experienced 2nd rower.
