Jai Whitbread is a decent sized prop at 6 ft 1 tall and nearly 17 stones. Think he’s our second biggest prop in the squad behind big DF.?

I agree with other posters that he has some NRL experience, youth at only 23 and evidence of versatility in the pack. With a smaller squad that versatility may become important.

Hoping he goes well and is in Trinity colours for years to come!

Have we signed him?

Not a mention so far, might have been a red herring?

It took a while for the "Adebiyi" rumour to become fact

Let us not forget the description that we were signing Hood described by the club as fake news when in fact it was the fake news that was fake.

When has the club ever mentioned Whitbread?

Where does the club state that, link please, otherwise this post is fake news.

Note, denying he’s signed is not fake news unless he had actually signed, at the point the club made this alleged statement maybe he hadn’t signed even if he’d been made an offer. The most obvious explanation is always the best, yet another attempt to make mountains from mole hills.

I would think that he's better things to do than to deny, or otherwise, every statement on here.

I think the policy is until its formalised with a signed contract then it hasn't happened. I suppose the recent experience with Langi will have entrenched this approach.

Heard that it is to be confirmed today, whether true or not, who knows.

It was leaked on the RWB page last night.
