Really not sure about this deal. I just hope we have not committed a shedload of cash on a two year deal for Paul White. It would have made better sense to take him back on a short term loan to give him a chance to show whether he is good fast and robust enough to compete at this level. The Courier says he will have a stringent medical and the club will need it! It is very rare indeed for a player (particular a back) to come back from serious injury and recreate form of a few years ago. I think the club would have been better served to have sat on the cash and wait for a better player.

Whats with all the obsession with his injury, an ACL injury (I've had 2 now, last one 2 months ago) does not mean the end of operating at 100% your potential, plenty of top sports stars have this injury and come back as strong as before, infact they often come back stronger due to the rehabilitation needed after the op and the gym work you do on your leg muscles.

I am reliably informed that he is on a "pay as you play" deal for the first year, so hasn't cost the club anything and will only take the appearance/winning pay that somebody else in the starting 17 would. If true, then it's a great deal for the club. Extra body in the backs, can play wing/standoff/fullback, eager to prove he's worth a second year. Good work!

I agree - Will provide excellent cover - and if on form he will still be devistating in this league given space.

Now confirmed

Good signing adds competition for places

The injury is sorted and one major injury doesn't make him a write off. On that basis Miles would be screwed as well.

Welcome to Fax Paul!

The two fastest wingers in the league, not bad.

Welcome Paul. Impressed with this signing - another speed demon...

When did we sign Nixon?

I'd fancy Ballard to be faster than Nixon TBH

A good signing for you lot, you've just added 25 tries to your team.

And I think Nixon is alot faster than Ballard.
