Is that the Aussie from Leigh?

He’s a young lad who has played 30 NRL games.

He’s the classic Trinity signing.

If he comes with the desire to put the work in he will be a decent team acquisition.

One of those that could be either way but given he came to SL for game time rather than be a squad player you would think he is here for the right reasons.

It's not hard to see what WP likes. Sid, Billy Magoulias and Jai Whitbread, all stocky and muscular, have good work rate, versatile.

I know I\ll sound like a butt kisser but I honestly think WP is on the right lines. These versatile robust players are the future, in the same way as all backs now look the same and can play most positions from 1 -5, forwards seem to be going the same way.

I see us being a very hard working team in the pack, combined with good pivots and a fairly classy backline, with the right attitude we might do ok.

Yes that’s the one and I think he is 23 or 24.

Just what the doctor ordered

Great news! Just the type of promising forward signing that Trinity needed.

Welcome to Jai! Looking forward to seeing him in the Red, White and Blue next season and hopefully on Boxing Day!
