There is the catch 22 PT.
IF he was full fit and able to play 20+ games a season, he wouldnt have come to Trinity in the first place and may well have stayed in Aus.
We usually end up having to either take a gamble on players who are either out of favour or, coming back from injury and it is a gamble.

It's been a long time since we managed to sign an in form overseas player at the top of their game.
Solomona would probably be the lat one and perhaps Poaching before him.
Prior to that you may have to go back as far as Steve Ella.

I know we've had some decent overseas players as well but, not too many and for me, unless they are top quality, we are better off with "English" players who will bust a gut and not get home sick.

Btw, where did Pita Godinet end up going (sorry for my ignorance)

Godinet is at Manly now.
Can't see him coming back but I would certainly have kept him. Wish we'd left him at half back instead of trying to break him at hooker.

Ben Harrison signed on loan

Happy with that, just hope he's fit and raring to go.

Good player is Ben but my only concern is that he hasn't played a game since September last year. Don't know if he's played in the reserves or anything.

Salford signed Feleti Mateo for rest of season. Wonder if they were in for him like us or just pounced when it surfaced.

And they've signed Luke Burgess. He'd have been a good addition, especially for cover for England and Simon.
