The problem with Lauitiiti was never what he did on the field, it was how often you could get him there. Leeds took the gamble that he wasn't going to get any less injury prone with age. If Wakefield get 20-25 games a season out of him then well done to them, but at the time I could see why Leeds let him move on.

Don't know if OP is ITK or not, but Ballin is exactly the sort of player we were told we would get if Buderus left. Would be an excellent signing, but GH must realise by now it was needed for this year.

Farrar looked a decent player at Catalans, a no-frills Brad Godden type. Millard probably has more wow about his game, but either would improve us. Hasn't Farrar been out injured all season though?

Re: rumours going around : Mon Jun 11, 2012 3:27 pm  

Matt Ballin would be awesome - Smiths understudy for Queensland and probably the second best Hooker in the NRL. I just can't see this calibre of player coming over - but would be delighted if he did.

While we are on rumours...
Anyone heard anything about Chase going to the pies?

Re: rumours going around : Mon Jun 11, 2012 3:46 pm  

Yes I heard from someone at Cas that Chase looks like he might go to the Pies.
Apparently we are intersted and his agent is doing the usual of getting as much as he can for Chase.
Ballin would be a great signing but he wants to stay in Oz.
Again agents upping the contract talks me thinks.
