Title: TRP

According to Fissler we have signed Rodrigo Martinez an Argie Prop with 3 caps (last against France 2 weeks ago) until at least the end of the season. Can play both sides.

If he is an Argentinian prop I assume he is big and good?

Seems to have his own YouTube channel (lol):

Only 23, looks useful around the park.

It was always a risky proposition going in with West, Hislop and Harris at LH. Fine if they’re all fit. Instantly thin if just one isn’t. Looks a good signing.

Also an interview with Gordon Reid, on how he was sanding floors when he got the call.

Wow hope this rumour is true. Rodrigo Martinez looks a pretty rugged guy, love the highlights reel.

Bobby Bridge is now reporting it.

Would seem to be a good call if true.

Good I was beginning to wonder why it was nowhere else. Unless it is a lift from TRP.

Bobby would likely have made some calls first before reporting.

I sent Bobby a quick message on FB as saw in a few recent articles that he’d mentioned Alex Gray hadn’t been used by the club yet, I said he’d rocked up at Racing instead but Bobby said that was temporary and he was expected back at Wasps afterwards. Saw he played in their 7s side in the tournament last week so not sure if he was just drafted in for that

If you read the article (https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/rugby/rugby-rumours-and-transfer-news-22233652) Bobby is reporting that it was reported by TRP. He offers no other insight.

I understood that. But, being Bobby, he would not just repeat a TRP rumour. That isn't his style. I know some 'news' reporters do regurgitate articles, but Bobby doesn't. He cannot say Wasps confirmed it either, nor can he say he asked Wasps but they would not comment at this time, or deny it.

Are Wasps going to announce the signing of an Argentinian loosehead?

I would have thought he would be confirmed by now.

I can’t stand the suspense😀

Looking at those scrums, can we have the tighthead too please?

He looks good, but is it not nice to see one pack demolish another without the ensuing cheering, backslapping and Pom Pom girl celebrations that you get in some places?
