Or maybe its just what i get told.

As for worst case scenario thats how i am with everything so say he comes and is below average im not dissappointed but if he is goes well its a bonus.for 1 min dont think i dont want him to do well cos i do i want him to go get man of steel.

I think the club are in a viscous circle at the mo its been stated we are skint and want to sell more STs and for some of us like me we have got or will get but there are some still undecided will SA make people want to buy them i wouldnt of thought so but how do you get the players who will hopefully pursuade peeps to buy without selling them first.

Or regarding batch he covers centre too.

I wouldn’t say he covers centre but I accept he’s played there a few times when we’ve run out of bodies but he’s never been selected to play there.

This guy looks like he can play anywhere in the pack. I don’t see him as first 17 but he could be a useful gap filler. Batch I see as a first choice player.

That said these are my opinions, Poching may see it very differently.

Just looked him up, not the biggest, but then neither was Nigel Bell. Similar build to the ex leeds player, Darren Fleary.

Not sure when he's off contract, but as he's more a utility player, wonder if Tinny is on his way out.

I thought that but against Hull in the last game I thought Arona looked really strong but that needs to be measured against how poor Hull were that night.

There is no way round it, this lads a punt but I seriously doubt it’s an expensive one.

If he reminds me of anyone it’s Gwaze but I’m assuming he has a bigger skill set.

I also think we are moving away from the size is everything philosophy in the pack. Strength, work rate and endurance taking over. There will always be a place for the big men but the game is so fast now there impact is more limited than it was.

Fifita is clearly our best prop but there is far more to Dave than his size. Next best is Battye and he’s not a big man. We’d do quite well if we had a front row with one Fifita and 3 or 4 Battye type players.

I'm not sure why we are discussing who he is replacing. Can't he just be a squad signing that we want to develop?
We are short in front row and at 13.

That's pretty much what I said, it seems we can't sign someone without it immediately meaning someone, usually Batchelor, is being cast adrift. Paranoia is the Trinity fans default setting.

As I said, even if say Batch left it doesn't mean it's in any way connected with the arrival of a totally unknown player from London.

We might have unearthed a rough diamond in this lad , let’s not get the knives out even before he’s had a game for the club. We need fresh blood at the club to stop players getting too comfortable . Let’s hope he comes and rips it up and has players looking over their shoulders and keeping them on their toes .because whatever unfold as in amount of teams up and down next season we need to up around the middle and making a tilt at the playoffs, which I feel the club is more than capable off looking how we finished the season .

To be fair we do have a habit of getting these tyoe of players and them going well ie wilkes,and one thing for certain he will be going at it 100%

In the current situation re props and forwards availability in general, I think its a good signing tbh.

In your previous post you assumed he was single? Based on what, his photo?!

Well Batch has put payed to the doom n bloomers on here by signing a new contract , a great bit of positive news for the fans and club

Indeed it is

The gift that keeps on giving

His age

OMG....why have we signed this guy...half of the poster's on here can't even spell Fifita or Tupou correctly, so they will have no chance with this guy





Seriously though, if MC and Willie both think he is good enough then that will do for me...welcome Sadiq

If it's not Batch, who do you think Sadiq is replacing now?

I think Willie reads these pages and is taking the mickey.
I hear Dallin Watene-Zelezniak is next on his list.

I'm hearing Tino Fa'asuamaleaui could be on the list too

Well its been stated we are going to be running a smaller squad so its not that far fetched

And so happy to be wrong, now just hope that SA goes on to the real find we have had in past like oliver wilkes liam finn etc thats if the signing is true of course

We've had value for money before, so why not now - good call Luppylad...........Oli Wilkes, Rickey Bibey, Adam Watene & Richard Moore to name a few....

I've heard that the signing would be just a money making exercise, a pound a letter on fans shirts (special offer the ' is free)

Announced officially by the club.

Adebiyi has signed a one-year deal with Trinity, with an option for an extra year in 2023.

Basically, he's a trialist. A year to show what he can do.

He will be on survival money I'd guess but with the second-year option holding the incentive, good business if so.

The thing with players like this, if it all works out they tend to be all action and soon gain folk hero status, so best of luck Sid



Note: It's easy to spot what WP likes most from players and that's a good work ethic. I think CC did as well but somehow lost the knack of getting it out of the players.

Trinity has always been at its best with teams that have that mongrel spirit, so let's hope we have got it back. The difference now is that we also have a bit of class in numerous positions, if we can meld the two together we will do alright. RL, such a simple game

Hows he in trial an option of a second year means no matter how he plays he can stay a second year weather we want him or not.

Nether the less good luck to the lad hope he succeeds
