Not sure of his name but has anyone seen that big lad play who we signed from union early season? If so anyone know how he is progressing

Laurence Pearce?

thats the chappy, i did hear reports of him playing a 20's game?

In all honesty the fact nobody has heard much of him since the initial press release kind of speaks for itself.

Just getting him up to speed and a better fitness level nothing else, no he wont be in the playoffs

Are you sure?
Thought he might have stepped in as full-back for the Leeds game?

So he is progressing well then? its just nothing has been said about him

Has he been playing 20s? I know he did initially.

I'd guess next year in the 20s is his time to impress after a full professional pre-season. See how he goes from there.

I am afraid I am only speaking from second hand reports from mates who follow the U20. Appaently he was poor in his first few games, hardly surprising for someone who had played no league whatsoever before, but has improved markedly of late.

As I said of his signing, he has all the physical gifts and attributes to make the grade.

correct just getting him up to speed with rugby league, getting him fit and so on ... loads of time yet

Speaking to one of first teamers bout him he said he needs a really big off season

No it doesn't ..the lad has never played R/L before and is learning the game ..the passed few games he has been a hand full ..He is coming on very well thank you
