Just me who's a little concerned by the fact that he hasn't actually got his visa yet?
You'd think the club might have learned from the Greg Bird farce to get all the paperwork sorted BEFORE you announce the signing!

Suspect he needs the paperwork in hand to travel but confirmation may have been gained in advance.

From the report I read police were not involved so should be no reason to worry about visa. The compliant was direct to the club and handled from there.

Which is also why we shouldn't jump to conclusions to presume it is fact!

I'm very pleased with this signing.

I know Nielsen's try scoring return in the 2013 and 2014 seasons was poor, but you don't play State Of Origin unless you've got real quality. It was only three years ago that Nielsen was playing in game three for Queensland so you could say he was one of the best centres in the NRL fairly recently. As an above poster said, look how good Keith Lulia was, and he was nowhere near the Origin picture. If Nielsen can rediscover the kind of form he showed in 2012, he could be one of the best centres in England.

I'm glad it's finally him to be announced, I've been saying his name like he was in The Karate Kid for days now.

Welcome Danenielsen...

Newcastle Knights scrum half Tyrone Roberts is on the verge of signing a 2 year deal according to social media.

From what I saw of him in 2014 for the Warriors he was pants.

However he had a good reputation prior to that move.

He obviously has got something. Just needs to recapture it. He should find it easier over here.

As I have found out first hand apart from Saint Shaun Johnson of the broken leg all players turn to pants when they pull on a Warriors jersey. They are just lucky the Blues are even worse!

Signing for who?

If Neilsen finds anywhere near his Storm form he will be quality for us.
