His nickname was the matchstick.

Clever. I ll supply a photo but it would be in black and white!!!

According to BBC he is out injured for the season https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/61167195

Shame, would have been a good signing imo

With our signing record the last few season before this, doesn't that means it's 100% true

A lot of A N Other were union players having a trial so they were not reported as playing league. As it would have been a ban. I know 1 person in the 70s who did this at Warrington.

Fair point, hopefully its a smokescreen to get out of Yawnion

Awful times, when you could be banned for life from RU for playing Amatuer or Community level League but it was OK to play Professional Cricket in the Summer

who is it

Gone very quiet on the name front

Don’t know mate. If I find out I will post it. It will be interesting to see if the trial includes a game in the reserves this weekend.

Probably be a good idea to sign a second rate aussie centre till the seasons end….. preferably a goal kicker with a view to s permanent deal….. im sure theres plenty over there that would smash super league
