Darren Fritz ? Great signing but does he fit the category, size wise.

Good call was for the guy who mentioned Stosic mate. He was here for a year, although he didn't get that Passport sorted for the next season,imo we got our money's worth.

Plus the knee injury that kept him out, his first game away against Wigan on a snowy night, awesome, run his blood to water a cracking prop

Shane Tronc is the best prop I've seen wear the Trinity shirt although it was too short as from my memory I read that there were issues about false promises made by the club to him and his wife was homesick.... news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 624755.stm Think Tronc must have started playing again in 2014 after retiring in 2011 aged 29 ...as he's mentioned in the article below and is still only 34..... www.totalrl.com/my-time-down-under/

Aye forgot he was out weeks with that injury, hit the ground running soon as he was back like you say.

I was told some time after the event that the club made promises to him that weren't delivered - and that the homesick wife was a story they agreed in return for releasing him to go home.



I seem to recall that it ended badly for him - didn't he break his neck back in Aus and end up embroiled in a drug scandal?



I would go so far as to say that he was the best prop I've seen at BV; he topped the table for metres made for some time after he stopped playing for us - he was a class laiker.



Edit - fair comment Vasty - I didn't read your original post properly.

I forgot about him, possibly the closest we've come but gain the one year only bit spoils it - though playing an off season in the UK was a common thing then.

No problem, I have that effect on people.

He was a brilliant prop forward - not very tall, but very wide! Tree trunk legs





Built a little bit like Les Boyd (if you don't know who that is, ask yer Dad!)



Didn't he play in the Cas away game with a fractured eye socket/cheekbone?

Another great player - built like a stork but hard as nails.



Liked a drink on Westgate..........so I heard

He probably did, he picked up the fractured eye socket after a grubby cheap shot while lying in a tackle from Kieron Cunningham.



I've put on other threads he was one of my favourite props to play for Trinity. Was a top guy to boot.
