Quote ="Trojan Horse"That was because people didn’t notice the graft Whitbread put in early doors. I have rated him most of the season but I’m glad others are seeing it recently now. He’s technically very good and has a great engine. I do hope that we sign him up for next season. He’s another prop who’s about to come into his best years.'"
No I think you and a few others have got this wrong. We did all notice the graft but RL is full of those at all levels.
What yo want from a quota player is a bit more than that. We were not getting that on my opinion.
However he’s now stepped up and if not a wow player he’s certainly a model pro and highly effective.
In a few years he could possibly get a spot back in the NRL, so Trinity is a good place for him.
What you really want from your overseas is the Dave and Bills of this world. However as the NRL grows there are ever less of those. In which case you Whitbread as potential players are the next best thing. Looks like we struck lucky on this one.
