Hooker from Catalan/St Esteve on month loan.

Strange one this. Less SL experience than Harry Bowes.

McNamara has probably sent him across to get his knees hardened.

I think the bigger the squad the better. However I thought we had reasonable cover at Hooker . Having said that I am not a fan of Hood so Lets hope we have got a decent player from under the radar.

He played for France so is no mug.
Can't hurt to have fresh bodies and it means Kay is free to play where he's needed.

Can play in halves too apparently... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/66302796

He probably goes straight in. Hood is banned I think? Bowes seems to work well off the bench and although Kay is great cover, a natural 9 surely seems like a good idea. Wonder where Kay will fit in though, maybe 13 or back to the wing. Deserves to stay in the team.

Hood worked off his ban in the reserve game.

Oh yeah of course! Forgot about that. Such a stupid rule in fairness but suppose you're at a disadvantage if you don't utilise it

Certainly an ugly bugger. Bonne Chance old fruit.

1) I don't agree
2) he's not here for his looks for the rest of us. I guess we all get enjoyment in different ways watching rugby.

Dont worry about him looking ugly when it comes time for his artist. Impression he will look like a top model.

Welcome Ugo. Hopefully he proves to be a good signing and gets a shot.

Opportunity for him to show what he can do.

Seen a couple decent half backs playing at amateur teams - yet we sign equivalent player out of France

He’s a French international I believe. Nothing wrong with this signing for competition and cover.

Exactly. French international who plays for Catalan is a long way from amateur rugby in Wakefield.
Just fitness alone never mind skills and discipline.

I guess you never saw Terry Ramshaw, Manuel!!!

I'll trump your Terry Ramshaw with a Harry Pinner.

and he's got 2 compatriots, who he knows well, to make him feel at home and 'fit in' quicker.

Belle Vue, the French quarter of Wakefield.

French international there will be alot of ncl players be able to play for france national team at mo there not excatley good

Still a long way from amateur

He’s. Played 20 games for st esteve , been involved in 2 Catalan games and been on Toulouse roster so no I disagree with you there

Bit of extra cover i guess which is never a bad thing. Hope it doesn’t impinge of Bowes’ game time though.

Nah, Peter Small at Cas and Vince Farrar at Fev.

I don’t know the lad but am prepared to give him a chance before I judge him!
I congratulate the club on making an effort to bring more players in - it’s increases competition and is a positive not a negative.
