Rumoured for quite a while but now it's over the line just wow is my thoughts .

Top drawer SL player who Daryl knows well , brilliant signing .

Four year deal, quite a commitment from both parties.

As it'll be his last contract, it was probably what was needed to get him here. He's about to turn 30, so we'll have him ages 30 to 34. A cracking signing for us, ideally I'd have preferred him to be 28,but for a prop these are still prime years, injury permitting.

A signing of intent and the first of few apparently.

Great signing and statement of intent from Trinity, can't wait to hear further good news on signings for 2025 and beyond

Can't speak highly enough of this signing.
Top quality in his prime years.

Is there something for the club to learn here...

"Trinity sign current England International" is MAJOR news - but it hasn't created the media wave that you might have expected.

Is the lesson: "don't announce stuff on a Friday SL game night"?

After watching him in last nights game I can't wait to see him on the field for us. His work rate is amazing. Fantastic signing.

Funnily enough on that note I was going to ask when was the last time we signed a current and active England / GB international (Jerry dont count….)

Bet you have to go back a long way?

Brilliant signing, up there with the best props in SL.

Can't believe how his game has improved.Thought he was good in SR but a different beast altogether at prop.Brilliant signing!

Played nearly 80 minutes today and picked up man of the match.

Yeah, absolute errorfest but he was everywhere tonight, he's got a great gas tank on him for his size. I can't wait to see him turn out for us. Plus Tom had a decent game as well, seeing him stretch his legs and go the length brought back some memories. Fingers crossed that the rumours are correct about him coming home.

Watched him about 3/4 times this year and every game I’ve seen him he’s been the best if not one of the best forwards on the pitch.

Great signing that and if we can pull off a handful like that it will be very exciting.

Hes a100% every game
and very rarely gives a penalty away.
Just seems to be able to keep going

He's top class

Fractured his thumb and has had surgery to repair the damage. Will be side lined for 12- 14 weeks

That's a lot of weeks for a broken thumb.

Memories of Tanganerror, Whitbread and TJ being unavailable once they had sorted contracts elsewhere?

the same thought crossed my mind, but Vagana also has a a broken thumb and I believe he will be out for a similar time.

I have had a thumb injury. A 'bennetts fracture' i believe, again from playing rugby. Had K-Wires in for 8 weeks and thumb was weak and stiff afterwards..

Whitbread withdrew from most things Wakey quite early on in the piece. Not missed by me. Not a team player.

A thumb injury is quite a bad one for a rugby player because you need it to catch and pass the ball, its not like a finger that you can strap up and carry on, it also need to be fully healed.
