He has a brilliant attitude and work rate that can only be a benefit to us. Well done to everyone involved in signing him.

I’m delighted not just because Eddie is a first class player but because of the effect I believe he will have on another first class player.

Despite only playing for us for half a season Battye quickly became a fan’s favourite. Dave won’t like that’s after years as the top of the props.

I think this is a good thing, players like Dave love the limelight but they also need to be pushed. Dave will not want to be compared badly with Battye.

Job done, two for the price of one.

Could be best thing to happen to fifita is battye arrival and an in form teying fifita can only be good for the team

I like Battye, he is no nonsense hard working and a good engine, the changes in the game will suit him. The other thing for me is that he knows his position he is not a flashy name but has been consistent and a good Champoinship player, he is at his prime for a prop and for me he gives that bit strength in the front row to allow the likes of Kelepi to play in the second row instead of prop filling.

Add to this he is a character without doubt I remember at London when we played them in the first SL game I think we were 18 nil up and he was getting some stick from our fans, he was giving some back which was light hearted fun, anyway I am sure he scored and let the Wakey fans really know about it oh and they beat us that day too. He is just what we need and will give Dave some competition around getting the crowd going!

My point exactly.

Have to add he's actually a pretty smart player not just a battering ram. He can score for a prop and is always looking to off-load and in the right place.
