Good signing that, been impressed with him at Warrington.

We weren't, overly.

He is our type of signing, we seem to have made a habit of getting the most out of players that aren't wanted by other clubs.

With all due respect to my own club, I think quality wise we have to be realistic in the fact we aren't going to attract many top players, plus for our goals next season I think he is good enough from what I have seen of him.

I'm impressed with the look of our new away strip

Always been happy with him when I've seen him play.
Had some discipline issues which some Warrington fans may not like but let's see if we can get the best out of him.

Is he related to Keith England?

I'd happily change our away strip to that if it meant we had a Fly Emirates sponsorship

Hope you don't mind 1873 but I edited the title to show full name

Shudds fans on here didn't rate Mullaley, turned out an inspired signing. If England puts that effort in, he will also be a great asset.
Funny how other fans bag their ex players, we bag ours whilst there here and laud them when they leave.

No worries, just thought people would know it wasn't Keith or Mike

He's been bagged plenty at warrington during his two years.

He had big boots to fill in the wake of moz and carvell leaving last year, and was possibly thrown in a bit too soon for SL, alongside an under performing asostasi and Glenn riley (exactly).

I've wanted him to come good for us, as he's a great size, and probably should be doing better for it, his handling wasn't great last year but improved some when he was on the field this year. But prior to his injury it just wasn't happening, which is daft really considering all he had to do was be better than asotasi and he could have been a fans favorite.

There's times when he runs the ball in, you'll swear that he's going to kill someone, and others its like a wet lettuce.

Being less smart than the average bear, I thought it was advertising the Test matches against NZ. Doh!

How many players that we've signed over the years have either been binned off or there fans have rubbished and gone on to be top players,even Internationals.It will keep happening until we have the clout to keep them.Let's hope England is another one of them.PS.my dad already says he didn't rate him at Fev

Welcome to Trin Anthony

and

I hope he goes well for you with a little bit of luck with injuries and more game time he should be OK, Tony Smith believes he is a better player now than when in the championship, it's good to see him remain in SL.

With Brian Smith I think you can look forward to better times, no miracles but a steady transition.

Mike England! Legend of schooldays.
Keith England. Cas player once in trouble for duffing a woman up in a bar.

I wonder what the board have been telling him

.

A big unit, let's hope we can get him running in like Simon

I think Mr Fantastic gives a good overall picture not a bad player at all but has had his problems, a change of scenery and back on home soil could just be what he needs, he also has a decent offload but we never utilised that part of his game.

Spitting image of Iestyn Harris!

I like the quote '' up and coming Super League club''. Welcome aboard, with an attitude like that.

I think he looks like an enforcer/extra from a mafia movie!

Are you sure you don't mean Danny Brough

.

Great signing for Trinity. Big improvement on Kirke and Lopini Paea At 6ft 4 tall and 17 1/2 stone he is a big hard nosed prop giving real grunt to the pack.

Looking forward to seeing him play against Leeds on Boxing Day hopefully. If Simon put on 5kg more muscle in off season like Amor seemed to do a few years ago, he'd be even more effective (and he's very good now) and what a pack with Scruton and a fit Anderson!

Wakey fans, you get England firing you got a great player, he was best player on the park against st George , he was best player that night,,
We have had poor season and with that there are scapegoats and he was a target with a couple of discipline issues and bad injuries,
The facts are when he started with hilly in his first season we went 11 wins on trot and dragged ourselves to 5 mins away from grand final,
Smith goes with the margue signing in Simms who is never a prop and for me has been poor, he's good with media grunts a lot, threatens the biff doesn't deliver,
England got shoved to interchange having to come on for hill with either Simms or asotasi who weren't good enough,
We were expecting another Chris hill, who arrived from championship to be guided by moz, carvel, woody, all quality experienced props, hill thrived, put that against England, with hill Asostasi Simms Riley Evans ,, it was never going to happen as quick as hill

I hope he does well for you and shows what smith thinks he's good prop, he asked to leave wasn't released he wanted starts not interchange, so fair play, easy to sit on bench and take the money every week, the boy obviously wants game time,,
I would have kept him at wire,, props hard to find

England is a step up for us so we don't really need to care about any negatives we hear from some Wolves/any fans.

We know he probably isn't a world beater - we know where we stand in the food chain - but he is a player with very obvious potential coming up to the age where traditionally players in that position mature.

There are three types signings IMHO.

Superstars who are just so good they can't fail and we have not signed one of those since Wally Lewis and are unlikely to any time soon.

At the other end of the scale there are the absolute gambles. We as a club have had more success with these type of players than any club anywhere but then we sign more than anyone else. Richard Moore and Oliver Wilkes spring to mind but there have been many many more. This season and last we signed a shed load of them and because we were complacent due to previous good fortune it came as an almighty shock when the bubble burst and they failed almost to a man. Some may yet pull through but I think we need to learn a lesson.

The third group of players are the ones I'll call fit for purpose. So long as you're straight with them and use them correctly they will do a job. At the top end of these are your Solomona's and Broughs etc etc. At the bottom end are players like McGilveray or Blaymire - limited but reliable and all forms in between.

I'd put England in the middle of that lot. Has all the attributes required, rest is up to him.

These players are what most SL teams feed off and even Leeds and Wigan have a few as a team where all the players were superstars would be a disaster IMO. It's just that we can only afford a handful where as Leeds and Warrington can basically sign these players at will and discard them in the same way if things don't work out.

How ambitious we are for next season INHO will be demonstrated by how many of these players we sign. England may be an easy player for Warrington to let go and replace but for us he is a big step up at last and could be a very good signing indeed and possibly the difference between safety and being modestly competitive or relegation fodder.

Fingers crossed,
