Good signing. No complaints.

I know one forum member who won’t be Happy with this signing, although I am unsure why. A cheap option who can play if needed, only an upside for me

A big lad with plenty of potential
Probably on peanuts also…our recruitment has improved out of sight.
A few years ago we would sign a kid like this and chuck him straight in and expect him to perform as an elite front rower.with our current pack he has time and experience around him to slowly improve his game.
Welcome Tom

Decent. Love the depth. Kudos to madge and co
-
More depth is always a good thing and I suspect this bloke will thrive in the WT system, can’t remember seeing our squad look this fit and strong so whatever they’re doing is working. Let’s see what he can do in NSW Cup before writing the bloke off.

We still have 2 spots left, there are no superstars to sign at this point in time, so I see no issue with it, if he was number 30 then maybe, but he is number 28

Very good signing for a player signed 28th on the roster. Our NSW Cup side this year will be strong. Depth and competition for spots also very solid.
