He is a good player BUT this is the first time a recruitment announcement hasn't been praised to the rafters and so if it was done to generate good news and mask the on and off fieldp failings it hasn't worked by the limited social responses..I'm quite pleased about that

A bloke decided he was homesick in March, and went home, not long after.

Another one "gobbed off" before the season started, and got a 7 match ban. Did the square root of nothing when he came back, and then " gobbed off" again, resulting in him being kicked out of the club.

Two players down, and we are struggling.

We now announce a player for 2024,.

Is it just me, or are the club missing something?????????

They’re obviously looking for players for 2023, clearly they haven’t been successful - yet. Doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be looking at signing up players for 2024 though?

We need to strengthen in this position & it's good to get someone lined up but I too would love to get more troops immediately.

I don't watch, hardly any, Aussie Footy ... so does anyone know what he's like? He is obviously a big lad.

Pretty good player, nice and steady - good defender, runs good lines as well. I'm basing that on about 4/5 games I've seen him in. Certainly good enough to have stayed in the NRL.

We're looking for rugby league players, not scouse virgins over the age of 13, for God's sake.
It can't be that difficult, Shirley? There must be some NRL players who aren't getting regular game time, that fancy a run out in an easier competition.

Where are we looking? Mind you, it took Fitzpatrick 3 weeks to land the Price masterstroke, 6 years ago.

When we get suspensions/injuries, our pack is thinner than co-op bacon.

'If there is one thing this club isn't shy of its making signings, if someone was available who suited the profile, I'm sure we are / would be in negotiations to bring them over. We don't want to sign a Latu out of desperation then be stuck with them.

It seems we have made enquiries about Whitbread & Tanginoa, but props especially seem thin on the ground atm and clubs I assume are reluctant to release players.

Thing is the wires traditional signings of good boozers and lads/ lassies who can hold their ale just aren’t around any more.
None down there on the Cobbs?

Absolutely right. Green & Holroyd have not looked too shabby but we are so thin on the ground.
