Don’t think the new lad has even been mentioned in a match report from what I can find. Can’t compare him with those two so I’m not getting too excited about the signing. Hope he proves to be a hidden gem though, it’d be nice to find one. You can find him, Si but I think he has come over under his own steam, and, to my knowledge is on a two week trial, not signed as such. He's French, not an imported Aussie. Avignon Bisons signed him from an Elite 2 side. Think I read he was 24? Edited April 16 by andyacko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyacko Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Robin was voted French Junior Champion RL player in 2019 while playing at Avignon. He is 6'4" tall and weights 110kg. The footage I've seen of him, his socks round his ankles, in contact reminds me a bit of........PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentioning P.P. there Andy, I saw a guy on the Fev. forum reckons he's been playing rugby union during the winter and he's so fit now he played the full 80 minutes against the Eagles a week gone Sunday and got m.o.m.!

I thought there were rules which prevented semi professional players playing amateur rugby of either code? He obviously didn't want to play for the Kinghts, and I wasn't sorry when he went, but we could do with him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the pay at so called amateur union clubs can be quite good, so maybe Donny allowed him to supplement his wages ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
