Only a month long deal apparently..

They have a duel reg with Rochdale?
Couldn't they sign a player for/ through Rochdale, and DR him back to TWP?

If we become able to add another player, surely a prop is where our need really is?

Haven’t we filled that gap with Latu? (Hopefully)

Seemingly not, otherwise he'd have played 1st team rugby last Sunday.

From seeing some of the comments from the Widnes fans they where less than impressed with Latu, although that could just be because he's a Wire.

Below is a direct quote from widnes forum from James Gordon, widnes fan and Journalist.

"I thought Patton was awful, though he was behind a beaten pack.

I didn’t think Latu did badly at all, and the abuse aimed at him was disgraceful."

Clearly he needs to be match fit before we can play him.

I see the latter was applicable, thought that may have something to do with the comments.

Could just be a case of not being fully fit and leaving Gold coast at 35 degree weather, to suddenly deal with our weather. Maybe he's thinking christ what have i done ha ha. I'm happy to give him time to settle in and show his worth, hopefully he can add some punch to our forwards and take some pressure off Hill, Cooper and Philbin
