Linked to here signed him for the rest of the season, with King joining KR as soon as the deal is done.

That's probably a break even at best

When Battye is on form yes, I'd say King is head and shoulders above him usually though.

Providing it's only until the end of the season and we don't end up bringing him in full time, I've no problem with it but should we sign him on a permanent basis, he along with Fafita would need to be sent on some gut buster course.

Is this the London forward who took us apart at their place, twice last season?

Cracking signing if true ,always puts 100% in when I’ve seen him play ,and has made fools out of our pack on more than one occasion.

He was definitely effective at times for London last season but, this was a relegated side and he's not close to an on form King.
The major plus is that he hits 9/10 every week.
However, we need a prop (or probably 2) with some real grunt and I'm not sure that he will do that.

What we really need at the moment is Fifita on the pitch, hitting his own 9/10 performances

Eddie Butty ! Old style prop forward in the Billy Harris mould, never takes a backward step be a good signing if it comes off.

Guess we must have a few of Fifita's XXXL shirts free that we need to get some use out of.

Can’t say I ve seen much of London other than when they slaughtered us - in both cases he was best prop on pitch. Let’s see what he can do in the red white and blue
