New Number 8
« on: Tuesday 14-Aug-2018, 13:37* »
It seems the rumours that were floating around over the w/e are true, & we've signed the Polish No8 (and National Captain) on a short-term contract: Link

Looks good - question will be whether the step up from Polish rugby (although good to see he's Polish captain) to Prem can be bridged. Let's hope so. Really think big ball carriers in the form of this chap and Lasike were where we lacked a little. Squad looks very balanced overall now - the challenge will be keeping the squad happy with game time etc. Is this the biggest squad we've had for a long time? Certainly feels like it. Must be squeezing every last drop out of the cap?

Looks like he could be our very own Badonkadonk!





You should read the reviews on that Amazon page as well, just for the fun of it ;)

Used to playing behind a retreating scrum based on that video - imagine if he could be on the front foot.

I have a feeling the A league will be his chance to shine, along with Laskie at first.  Maybe a game or two on DR somewhere

Nice to see someone who does not just stop when making contact! It may well be a step up, but if he can keep that kind of attitude going, it will all help. A league is a good shout - good chance to learn how we do stuff, and see if he can make the first team.

I think he plays for an Italian club, Rovigo, at the moment.

Interesting that it's initially only a short term signing for 2 months. Is this cover for Clifford?

Why's there nothing (yet) on the offy?

I would guess if we were looking for cover for Clifford, it would be someone more established,  possibly the two months is to see if he can cut it at this level.  As for why nothing on the offy, it took them a few days to announce Lasike

Looks like he’s ok at that level, we must remember that the highlights are against Portugal not exactly qualit opposition.  Will be interesting if he can bring that to A league then the Prem. There is a part of me that really hopes he can but I am sceptical.
