This is the guy who did time for beating the proverbial out of a bloke isn't it? Sounds a nice lad.
He won’t be the first and won’t be the last player to sign for Wakefield with a past ie Assault etc. What’s in the past is the past, nothing can be done about that, as long as he gets stuck in and does a decent job he’ll have my backing.

According to sources watching him in the wrestling room the lad has super human strength,and also seen him play and id have no reservations putting him in against Wigan . He’d beat lineham into a cocked hat in just about every facet of the game except probably experience , but will I’m sure make up for that with his hunger and passion for the game .

2011 wasn't it. Hopefully he's learnt his lesson and grown up a bit. I'm sure many of us have had a checkered past but thankfully got the opportunity to leave it well behind.

Says the fan club who worshipped Tim street, grow up.
He's done his time.
It's not great what he did but it's a long time ago.

Has he played at a decent level previously? Seemed to do ok whilst on trial.
At RL, no.
At RU, he was almost certain to play for Wales at international level until his head exploded.
There is a positive here. If he's still got the desire then physically his body has not taken much punishment Could have a few years in him.
His style is perfect for RL, fairly elusive and fast but not unhappy driving the ball in.
He's also aggressive, obviously, but lets hope that's now controlled aggression. He will give the likes of French a far harder time than Lineham ever would but then so would I.
