Reynolds, Ridyard and Drinkwater to move us about the park, the best two will start. Higham and Patterson can cover if needed. One more to come in, possibly two before July.

That's my assumption based on rumour and this signing, seems the club have learned to sign replacements first

Re: Halfback : Mon May 16, 2016 1:34 pm  

I'd have him for a guest appearance for us a week on Saturday to see who his friends over there really are.

I doubt if Rangi has a bad word to say of the club if he has left/is leaving, he was treated very well.

He’s only signed until the end of the season, why would he sign for less money?

Lets see what smith has up his sleeve. If Drinkwater was poor at London then why should we be downhearted we haven't signed him.
I have got confidence in Smith knowing the market down under for decent fringe players who can't get a game and could do us a good job. He only started today so lets give him time.

At least give him till Friday to have signed 3 or 4 future internationals before we have a go at anyone!!!!!

TBF Drinkwater was playing in a woeful London side and is only 23. Meant to have done alright in the NSW cup. Denny Solomona didn't exactly set the world alight playing for London 2 years ago and he's done pretty well.

Smith i fully trust to get us a decent 7. Ferres I don't.
