Not to be downer as this guy looks like a good talent but i hope this isn't it
A project/potential forward is something we don't really need
we need some experienced class and we need it in the backs really especially at centre!

Here's a bit more info/fluff on Hamlin:

This isn't going to have people racing to buy season tickets, but lets see how he goes. He clearly must have potential, but that's all it really is right now. Happy to see what we've got when he gets a chance to play.

He'll need to eat a few pies to play prop.
5'10 and 15 stone isn't big for that position?

The clips look good (not first team?) and the lad has promise but he's another project player and/or a replacement for Romain. Best of luck to the lad but another small prop isn't what we need most. Is this the start of some good news stories or is that it now?

From the you tube clips he does look like a prop however I agree he is relatively small for a prop, having said that he does have fantastic speed and a superb step so maybe he breaks the line using those attributes rather than brute force. You can't hit what you can't catch!!
