He is big. But then again, Willie Manu wasn't massive, Bateman isn't huge. Size doesn't determine impact

To be fair he looks to have the same build/stature as Willi Manu so if he is half as good/effective as Willi was for us he will be great asset for the club. Really miss seeing a player like Willi Manu who was freakishly strong and difficult to get down with great ability to break the line.






I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Mini has been a fantastic player but his time is coming to an end. Manu has been very good this season, probably because he is fully fit, and should be offered a 1 year extension. At present have to many props on the rota, Some just squad players and others with potential. Along with Savelio we need to find another couple of big forwards to suit Radford's style of play. Ikahihihfo has been mentioned but is pretty inconsistent. Maybe look at an NRL project along the lines of Moa or even better a player like Fifita. He monstered our pack on Friday and even outplayed Taylor which doesn't happen very often. If Kelly stays (and Sneyd) the backs look pretty strong.

He was incredibly strong. I remember the derby at the KC when we hammered Rovers when Manu had half the Rovers team on his back and slipped the ball to Yeaman to score.

1.88m or 6ft 2 in
110k or 17st 5lb

How big do you want
Personally i think he is a great signing and will play on Sunday at London
What it will do when we have Green and Bowden back and Savelio in the second row is to be able to rotate Sika and Minichello correctly rather than doing too many minutes.
Minichello off the bench would be my preference

What’s with the rumour of us signing Mitchell Aubusson and one or two other Aussies. Anyone else heard out?

Mitchell Aubusson's played so much football, there's only one way he's heading. I hope we're not aiming for veterans.






The words of fools mean nothing to one who resides in the truth.

Now Kenny Edwards does offer much more but didn't he get bounced from the Eels for bad behaviour ??


Josh Jones is probably the form 2nd rower in the comp so far this year. Have a look at his stats. 2nd highest metres gained by any forward. 188 tackles and only 4 misses. 39 tackle busts, 2 clean breaks and 13 offloads. Way ahead of manu and mini although he has played a game more.

turguts stats aren't bad either but he's missing a lot of tackles






The poor man's bonaire

Not the sort of player we should be looking at imo. He has an awful lot of miles on the clock.
