So it seems in all the drama of the last few weeks a new signing has slipped through the net without the club being able to anounce it
If you folow Colton Roche on twitter its pretty obvious hes been training with us for weeks. Players tagging him in posts plusspost from him about him beingworried for the club. Chizzys tweet this evening confirms it

Have to admit i dont know too much about him other than a decent forward from featherstone front or back row. Anyone know anything more about hom as a player

I don't think he's actually "signed" but that might change once we have new owners in place.

Or it could be that he's just on trial with us to show what he's got

I'm led to believe Roche had signed before the administration. They're hardly going to announce it during this though, so I assume they're just waiting until all is sorted before they make an announcement (and will likely make out they've just signed him after a trial period).

Don't expect any confirmation until the deal is done.

Who is he?

Prop from Fev who came through academy at Leeds. Has only ever played at Champ or Champ 1 level I believe.

What deal is this?

Shh, don't waste posts in this thread. Get them in the other one...

Not a bad player. I would imagine he would come off the bench with Kavanagh and Sidlow as starting props. Maybe Peltier and Magrin will be on the bench for Game 1 though.

He played for Fev in our boxing day friendly. had a decent match

We used to have "boxing day friendly's" now we just have boxing day

No he didnt play for fev on boxing day

The misinformation has spread to this thread....

But can we get it to 10 pages before his signing is announced???

Fax Fan Man, Roche didn't play for Fev on Boxing Day, you may have mistaken the trialist Kitchen for Roche.

For me Roche is a great forward at the top end of the Championship and maybe could cut it for the lower SL teams, though for me he is better in the 2nd row than front row. I was told a couple of months ago that he had signed for Bradford, but guess that the announcement would be made after his Fev contracted finished in November, though I am not sure how administration affects all of this.

He didn't
