The ever widening gulf between the NRL and SL means we can pick up players from the second tier and junior ranks down under fairly cheaply and get a decent SL player. Especially the bigger lads who don't/won't have the fitness levels for NRL. Carlos was plucked struggling to break in to the worst NRL team and is now one of the top centres in the league, Satae and Sao were short stint benchwarmers and have been great this year.

Give the new kid a chance. He's clearly a better running threat than DH. And Danny can teach him the rest if he needs to.

ATEOTD there isn’t a great amount of top class players that are available in the positions we need to strengthen nor probably in the price bracket we currently have due to contracts etc. From what I’ve read about him he seems to fit the bill for giving us a player that has good distribution and has the ability to quicken us up in the middle which is what we have painfully been lacking.

Probably cheap too,,with no much cap to play with we are going have to creative.

Plus seemingly only a single year deal so no damage done.

Maybe his visa hasn't been approved yet hence the delay

You slated the signing of Carlos Tuimavave. That one turned out OK.

Dont get the love in with Tui - i know you cant have world class players in every position but he has one quality game in ten and lots of average ones, hes not very quick or creative either. Not a bad defender but theres a reason why were poop and its because one of our centres is very average, doesnt score or create anything

At least you're consistent

If Pritchards going (and he i hope hes not) then i hope he takes Tuimavave back with him. Not fit for first team in any position and the team would look a whole lot better without him in it

Brilliant, in a team that lacks consistency he's probably our only player that puts in a 7/10 and above every game

Well it is his default position on everything concerning our club. Beats why he doesn't clear off, as he's threatened to do in the past.

Yes and sadly he's not the only one
