At least according to a poster for the T&A.

Saw this on my way to work so haven't been able to grab a copy of the paper to find out just who we've signed.
The news isn't yet online either on the T&A site or Bulls.

Anyone know who it is?

Edit: Sorry, just seen it. Winterstein from Widnes

Frank Winterstein. Solid enough player, star might be pushing it though!

Decent squad player, could be quite effective if we use him out wide. Hopefully he gets to play in Samoa's other matches but the article mentioned he picked up an injury against NZ.

Looking at his stats he's not a bad squad player and means we've more options for rotation of injuries/poor form.

He seems to fit in with Cummins recruitment policy of getting in a solid group of young players to build a foundation on. Not much flash but a lot of hard work

Our problem this season was that as soon as the injuries hit we didn't have the backup to cover and we started to lose games we could have won. This guy may not we world class - appart from in Samoa, but we are now building a squad where we have two sets of players for each position. At the end of last year we would have gladly had Carvell, Ferguson and Winterstein to help keep the pack competative when we hit injuries. They may not be big names but they may just help us win those extra 3-4 games next year that we lost this year and the top 8 will be achievable. We only missed out due to losing a couple of key games that we should have won near the end of the season. I am particularly looking forward to seeing a fit halfback trio of Gale, Sammut and Gaskill - especially Gaskill as he could turn out to be a classy, tall and quick stand-off with either Sammut or gale at 7.

This is a decent signing. I spoke a few months ago about adding size to the back-row and this guy is big. And like previous posters have said, we will have a lot more depth than last season and we will have capable players to slot in when injuries happen. Would Winterstein be first choice?

I'd think that Ferguson and Bateman would be the first choice second row. Only my opinion, of course.

I would put Bateman at loose.Ferguson and Winterstein in the 2nd row as my starting back 3

Still Bateman, Ferguson and Addy for me.

I'd have Bateman and Winterstein in the second row, Ferguson at loose (with Addy in the halves) . All three are pretty much interchangeable.

What about Donaldson?
