OK, guilty as charged! I said that on the basis of being generally unimpressed with what I've seen of him in the NRL. If he turns out well for the Warriors, I'll be as pleased as anyone. I stand by my view that our rivals have been rather more, well, adventurous in their pick-ups from down under, whereas Wigan have looked for brawn.
Fair enough, you've watched him more than I have then. From what I've heard though he was a beast when he was at the Roosters; we all know that Super League is a level below the NRL though so regardless of how things have gone for him the past few months at Canberra, he could be an excellent player for us.
I like your last point btw, one of the main complaints I've seen on this board since I've been on here is that we haven't got enough size and power in our forwards. We proceed to sign a player that fits that profile and all of a sudden we've signed the wrong type of player. Plus we have signed two other players you know, do they fit the brawn category also?
What signings have other clubs made from the NRL lately that are more adventurous than those two in your opinion? Segeyaro I don't think counts as they had to swap Hardaker to get him and he might not even stay beyond this year.
