On the right contract, no more than 2 years.

Was hoping we’d look at Corentin Le Cam. 23 year old 6 ft 9 back row who’s been at Catalan.

Just read he’s playing union now though

He looked very clumsy when we played them the back end of last year. Imagine he’d be a project signing but wouldn’t pay off

He was poor at best. I think he got a bit of hype because of his height.

He was average in the junior ranks. His height hindered his athleticism and not a great skill set either.

Don’t see him ever playing at a consistently high level as a league player. Union probably a better option for his skill set and physical gifts.

Be interesting to see how Renouf Atoni goes at Trinity.

We were in for him last year but seem to have gone with Mago instead.

He’s on a 1 year deal at Trinity with a second year in his favour I believe.

He is a real unit and looks up for putting the graft in SL rather than coming to make up the numbers.

He was outstanding against Leeds (all be it a youthful Leeds) on Boxing Day.

Jonh, what are your thoughts on Wesley Bruines who has signed for Saints after a couple of years in Aus. I believe he was a former Wakefield academy player, but I can't remember him at all.

Wigan were having a good look at him too Brian before we signed him.....

Jonh, the year option for Atoni is in the clubs favour

I stand corrected.
