Personally i think this is a waste of a signing, i think we have enough cover in the second row, we need another front rower! I hope he proves me wrong and is awesome, but feel sorry for who ever he replaces. I cant see JK bringing someone over here to play in reserves!

TBF when he was actually signed we had Stosic and we were not sure how bad Moore was. At the time we were all screaming out for a S/R as that was where we appeared lightweight. I suppose we had to honour the deal made at the time and rightly so.

On the plus side Bibey appears to have stepped up several notches to cover the gap.

he will be good for the rotation must admit the lads have been excellent and dont deserve to lose there places. More injuries occur and if some need a rest he may we will need him you never know he maybe proping

Agreed, but I think natural attrition will see to that. I know what you mean and I hope he plays reserve Rugby to start with, but at he end of the day you don't bring someone 12,000 miles to keep them there so I suspect someone will lose their place soon enough. Probably Bibb or Pitts which wouldn't harm them, for Hendo it would be a personal blow but it will keep them all on their toes which is good.

I agree. Surely it would make some sense to give Pitts and Bibb some rest before they get to the stage when they could potentially have a confidence knocking 'stinker', I would use Luke George last year as a potential case in point. Get them out of the arena and let them have a rest after a very good job well done, they are only kids - no need to force the issue if we dont have it.

Maybe he will be over for the Leigh game, that would be a nice game to start with!
