I'd be less excited than if it was a few other potential signings but Green is one of the better halfbacks in Super League and given what little quality is available I'd say he's no a bad option.

We're still going to have Powell, Williams and Hampshire to call upon if it doesn't work out.

Blake Green is being looked at for definite (just seen the other thread about him). You are signing/have signed an Aussie forward too but not been told who.

I'd be quite pleased, Green has pace, good hands and a good kicking game. I think he is still only 25 or 26.

My only concern would be that he has missed a few games this year.

The question was how would you feel, not whether he could be a potentially good signing. I would be initially underwhelmed in signing what appears to be a run of the mill import, but would point out that not many were dancing in the streets when we signed Carmont.

I'm pretty sure Green's under contract at HKR so we'd have to pay a fee.
From what Hudgell said some weeks ago they are looking to lower their wage bill.
With Galea going that'll be a fortune saved and Green could be on a fair amount too.
Could be a good signing but I think Wane will look to improve his defence.
Had a couple of injuries after his return from that blood clot which kept him out for a while.
After Sam Powell's performance last Friday, Green will have competition for his place which will make him improve.

Green could be a good buy.
With Lima and maybe Fielden going then we'll need a prop or two.
An NRL South Sea Islander would do nicely.
Also, it looks like Bradford's players are to be told to look for another club so again I'd agree with what's been said re Lulia. Also Craig Kopczak, Harris may like the idea of bringing another Welsh playing forward to the club. He's a very good young prop IMO and would be a good signing.

I have complete trust in the management to bring in the right players to make us better.

Re: Rumours and signings v8 : Mon Aug 06, 2012 3:51 pm  

I would like to sign the big south sea islander from the bulls, Manase Manuokafo. He is a prop and is out of contract at the end of this season

He's average.

I've heard we're looking at him and Shawshank is always spot on with his gossip.

Green or Soward though? Ha.
