This is true, and he probably has better stats than Godden had when he came over.

However, I have to ask, how is that Saints can manage to bring over, 1st Jamie Lyon, and then Matt Gidley. If you are going to make overseas signings you want a good commercial return also, and these are the sort of signings you would think should be made.

I like your observation about Godden who we signed from Hunter Mariners.

I disagree about Lyon, he was out of the game remember and the point your making holds no water as neither of those players had the "star" status of Buderus.

The guy cant be too bad, he starts every game for the Titans who are 3rd in the NRL and he played for NSW City in the City-Country game last year and he's only 23 years old.

Very average signing, and not the type of import we should be signing, hope he proves me wrong but its a sad state of affairs to lose a very promising young player and then sign a run of the mill australian centre.

Who's the promising player?

In this case its a season ticket reducer, its a shocking signing, absolutely pointless, he is way off the likes of Watkins, Ratu and Gibson.

Can't fault that but lets be honest an nrl coach who picks him week in week out with his team 3rd in the league should know a little more about a players abillity than your "mate"( like you've got one) in aus.
