But, your failed HB, playing at FB is a "big" signing.
OK, he's out of condition and out of form but, you need to question why your club brought him over here.

I know he's not playing too well but, is he a marque signing ?

No he wasn’t a marquee or big signing.

Oh come on, you (Leeds) dont go looking for average players from Aus, even if that's how they turn out.
The guy has played for both New Zealand and Tonga and was supposed to fill the hole left by Maguire.

As I said, just not quite how it's worked out.

I'd have Merrin and Dwyer any day of the week.

Why the p*****g competition over how many were out injured, both teams had seventeen players and looked at similar strength. Wakefield were just that bit better on the day. Onward to the Hull game next Sunday.

We’ve had a few average players from Aus recently such as Achurch, Falloon and Vickery. Even ones that worked out like Cuthbertson, Garbutt and Parcell were project ones that could’ve gone either way.

One appearance for New Zealand back in 2015 hardly makes him a big signing in 2019 and Myler was signed to replace McGuire at the start of 2018. Lolohea was playing reserve grade most of last year and signed to replace Moon, a centre who filled in at HB when Sutcliffe failed there.....who ironically is back there now filling in. But given the news of us trying to sign Jake Connor from Hull immediately shows we don’t see either Sutcliffe or Lolohea as a starting HB going forward.

You’re talking nonsense, none of those players were project players, they were all established and all expensive. I’m not sure who you’re trying to kid, yourself probably.

Think you should research those players and their careers pre Leeds. Vickery zero NRL games, Garbutt, Achurch and Parcell around a dozen each and playing reserve grade. Peteru about 20 games. Falloon was a desperation signing because Aiton left for Catalans and we couldn’t find anyone else and he was in court case trouble in Aus which meant no one else wanted him. Vickery, Achurch and Falloon never signed for another club after leaving which tells you a lot about them. As for expensive, you don’t have any idea what they cost, you’re just assuming they were because it’s Leeds involved
