Not sure how true it is but there reports by certain journalists on social media we are signing rob butler from Warrington

Saw this earlier. Apparently we've signed him until the end of next season.

Well, if we have signed him, welcome aboard Rob!

On paper that’s a very good signing..

He’s a big unit at 6’3’’ 17.5 stone.

He’s the right age.

He’s a prop.

He’s a point to prove and a long way from home so needs to get this right.

No guarantees but these signings tend to work well for us.

Getting a good nucleus of the London 2019 relegation side together, up to four now i think.

To be fair he was a promising young prop back then but has stagnated since. Hardly played a game since though thanks to a mixture of covid, injuries and non-selection so unsurprising. Hopefully it will pay off but a big ask to come in and make a major difference from the get go.

Pitt’s battye sid butler - great championship pack , but as the fatuous five aren’t likely to be playing (in the most important game of the season) a welcome set of legs

Hope he works out

So could be

Jowit
Johnson
Hall
Lune
Murphy

Gaskell
Bowes

Butler
Hood
Battye
Ashurst
Batch
Crowther

Whitbread
Kay
Aydin
Sid

Least Willy won’t have many selection dilemmas for the game as it looks like we probably only have 17 players available for the game

Never given an extended run at Warrington, just the odd match.

Hope he can fulfil the potential at Wakefield, that he showed at London.

Why....what's wrong with Lino and Fifita ??

I think peeps are referring to non Jabees. Not clear on new French rules.

Thought he might be referring to that but here are the current regulations...

[iTravellers reaching France from a green country are required to present a vaccination or recovery certificate. Those who do not hold any of these two documents can enter France restriction-free by presenting a PCR test taken within 72 hours before entry or a rapid antigen test taken within 48 hours before entry.[/i

So not a problem..

We’ve only got Battye, Sid was a one season speculator can’t think of the fourth?

TBF this one looks more like it in that he’s physically right and that a top team fancied him.

Batye is not a bad player but is going through a rough patch. People are slagging him but when he was on loan people on here were begging to sign him.

Pitts

Why not?

Jowit
Johnstone
Hall
Lynne
Murphy

Gaskell
Lino

Whitbread
Bowes
Arona
Tanginoa
Ashurst
Crowther

Subs
Fifita
Butler
Battye
Kay

Depends if they’ve had the test or a course of three jabs

Think that’s pushing it but I suppose so even if he is a Trinity academy product.

and we had Walker

He’s been gone a while now, who else are we going to chuck in.

I’m not sure where this is going. Is this the latest way to have a dig at the clubs recruitment. Because he once played for London he’s inferior.

I really don’t care so long as he does the job to be honest, we’ve signed some real duffers who came from top clubs with big reputations.

Big body, career stuttered a little but he is still young and has enough quality to get a call up for England Knights.

Not a quota player, won’t be on a huge wage and will no doubt have something to prove.

Good signing if it is finalised in my opinion.

Could do with 13 props

Good signing I think. Young hungry prop. Well done club! One more would be a great fortnight.

Mike Cooper to join him hopefully…
