My first reaction to this is dismay but on reflection we have had some good short stints from players near the end of their careers. I'm thinking Kevin Iron, Paul Anderson Nick Ford and Sonny Nickel second spell, admittedly the three forwards wouldn't have cost big money.

Leulau would bring a wealth of experience and may improve the on field decision making.

In view of Walsh's injury we may need him as a half back anyway.

I agree with this. Although older players lose a yard of pace, the experience they can bring is invaluable and we certainly need some of that.

Add to that Kevin Ward, David Fairleigh, Darren Britt, Darren Smith and Matt Gidley.
