But Drinkwater was already out of Catalans plans well before we signed him. We were desperate for a scrum half and he was available . Powell described him as having all the attributes we wanted in a scrum half (everyone assumed he meant he was a very good player). The signs were there, we ignored them. Which is why I think of the 3 he was the worst signing (not the worst player though, Mr Dudson take a bow).*

Apologies for the drift
i think there's an element of 'benefit of hindsight' to some of these recruitment decisions.
how would the fanbase here have reacted if we'd signed 30 odd year old james maloney, or mitchell pearce? typical warrington signing over the hill aussies.
or if we'd signed undersized matt whitley from widnes?
there's not enough oyxgen in the world for the combustion that would have occured on here.
