Watched him last night. He coughed the ball up in front of his own posts and presented the Roosters with a try. And ultimately the match.

Don't recall another significant contribution.

Apparently he's in talks with two Superleague teams.He hasn't played more than 13 games in a season due to injuries and form since his breakthrough year.Seems like he has a problem with ACL injuries so he would be a risk.

Looking at the comments from some of the Broncho's fans it's a real mixed bag in regards to how they rate him.

Seems to be a big minute type prop, who is very strong in defence but isn't a big meter maker.

I'm hoping that if we did sign someone like this it might be a successful 'Hull KR' type signing in that he's under the radar, mid 20's and has something to prove (Paea, Vella).

We certainly need something else in the front row.

Yes, and as noted, two ACLs already, plus other serious injuries...

Just been talking to Anthony Gelling at the DW gym as he was doing some additional fitness training.
He looked in good nick and was doing lots of rowing and skipping exercises.
He told me his ribs were holding up well during the rowing and he was very hopeful of being available for selection for the Catalan game.
As I was going out I saw his pushbike near reception!

Looks like Justin Carney will be available. Interesting to see where he ends up I would have him at Wigan but I suspect he will be heading back to the NRL and as far away from Nathan Massey as possible.
