They signed Luisi Sione on a trial from Workington who couldn't play at certain times or days due to his religion although as it turned out he couldn't play at anytime as he was sh*t

He made his debut late on in a 90-0 thrashing of Barrow and managed to look OK.
That was the best we ever saw of him.
RU props often struggle due to their lack of agility and mobility, remeber Stuart Evans at Saints. Although Evans partly made up for it by decking Gary Stretch when he jumped the queue in a chippy on Duke St (no man came between Evans and his 6 split n'fish).

Agreed! I know the thread refers to in rugby league history...I can't talk about the whole 114 years but just in my lifetime.Whenever this sort of thread appears his name is always foremost in my mind. We signed him for about £75K and he was on top money apparently...rumours I heard were about £750 per week. Bear in mind this was 20 years ago.People talk about Australians coming over here topping up their pensions....they're not the only ones! Think he lasted a season then we had to get rid on a free transfer

What was it? Negative metres gained?
