He can’t play till Limoux have been knocked out of the playoffs, which could be this weekend, meaning he could play against Fev

Fantastic. Now can we have a halfback that'll take the ball running? It's all well being a hard working team but we need a bit sparkle, and while I'm on, I'm sure he's a great guy and he does try hard but Bent's 2m carries are not good enough for championship rugby.

This is the type of signing we have been waiting for, I’m sure he will bring effort and personality to the squad. I am looking forward to seeing him on the field

@wrlfcefc1989 it’s a balancing act with our current financial situation. Brent is hard working in defense, we can all agree his attacking skills are not good but he’s a squad player who can do a job

And he was good in 'The Office' too. 🤣 🤣 🤣 

You are quite correct MckV. Bent is in the team because of his tackling attributes, not because he is going to go on barnstorming runs. He takes the ball in to the areas, that sets up the next play.

A quality centre or fullback be nice who has speed and can score tries. Mick Nayn type would be nice. 😂👍 Also a halfback who runs and with something different.

If we had forwards that went on barnstorming runs they'd end up getting snapped by super league like Dupree. 

But as I said earlier, I can't criticise Bent for his effort in defence but he rarely makes ten metres so no wonder we can't get on the front and he hasn't got an offload or pass in him. We need more size in the pack.

Well the love rugby league article refers to him as a ‘highly rated’ going forward… not a bias report so hopefully he lives up to that expectation!

 

first Aussie to play a competitive game for us after the first 2 failed?

He's certainly a big body and has a decent pedigree behind him that's for sure ..would kind of hope there'd be another Aussie incoming  to fend off any repeat of the will Evans saga ..sadly agree with bent in terms of his go forward...he literally doesn't have any ...on the flipside agree with others he's in there for his tackling .. something Dan Murray couldn't do with Liam Harris on Sunday..one name wouldn't mind seeing come in is max Clarke ... formerly of barrow..think he went to French elite ..not sure if the club he went to us still involved ....very big centre at 6ft 5 ..good in the air ..has pace ..strong runner ..can also play back row ..and more importantly probably won't ask for stupid money ....two other names ....well more a question...where are Wellington Albert and joey Romeo nowadays ...players we apparently had discussions with but didn't go further

Looks like Limoux Grizzlies won by 2pts so no Morgan McWhirter next week
