Signed from Oldham can’t recall seeing him play. Aware he has played in the community game and came to the pro game late and played multiple positions.

Seems to be the definition of a project signing.

Press release mentions his physicality be interesting to see how that works out. Looks a bigish body who has potential to develop physically in a full time system.

Will be invaluable for him to work alongside Isa.

Probably a signing to bridge the gap between our first team second rowers and our next prospect in Lucas Mason.

Looking at his highlights he’s very good in contact seems to win the ground to find his front and get a quick play the ball, hits strong lines and looks to be athletic playing in the forwards and outside backs.






Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.

One hell of a jump from League One to World Club Champions. Seems a big lad, hope he takes the opportunity, we are quite thin on the ground with senior second rowers. Would guess he’s on a low wage with the opportunity being just as big an incentive.

The first I'd heard of him was about a month ago when I read a report that Sam Burgess has asked Warrington to sign him, which made me look at a few highlights on Youtube. Now it's League One, so who knows but he can run a ball that's for sure.

Maybe Warrington did want him but Radlinski decided to sign him during the HKR v Wire game on Friday night.

I know pretty much every SL club was trying to sign him.

Another massive tall athetic back rower to add to Nsemba and Walters (plus Mason).

Farrell and Isa l, 35 and 36 next year. The succession planning is well in place.

Very happy with this.






RICHARDS IS SUPERMAN!!!!

I’d say it’s the end of Chan transitioning to the secondrow which we seemed to be investigating.

I hear that he’s staying with Oldham for 2025. Not sure if that is true but if it is he will obviously get more game time at Oldham.
I think that there might be a similar “project” signing at HB still to be announced.

Hopefully he proves to be a successful punt.
