Yes and Gareth Ellis is rejoining us from West Tigers.

Have you got from a good source Mick?

My friend said he'd heard the same, but I don't know if I trust his sources

God I hope not.

I'd rather have a season of Sutcliffe and McGuire than sign Sandow. Talented, but incredibly lazy.

1 guess right in every 20/30 you predict!

Great if true but how accurate is your source of this information?

Sandow or Owen Craigie?

There's a video of him scoring an impressive try in the NRL 9s on Youtube. Looks big, mobile, decent hands.

Have to wonder why it's not gone for him at Brisbane though, he's slipped right down the pecking order there this year.

Id be disappointed in that signing. I see no point why any club, especially one of SL's premier clubs like us, should be wasting squad space on NRL also-rans. I think the only reason we should be bringing in NRL players is if they are something special. There is a chance that we go in to next season with 6 overseas players and only one of them having realistically made it in the NRL.

We should be better and demand more than 26 year old reserve graders.

Garbutt was seen as a rising star before joining the Broncos, but the Storm have a history of forwards looking great for them (highly structured team with the best and most experienced playmakers in the NRL) who revert to useless elsewhere. Having said that, Wayne Bennett also has a history of dumping players who aren't that bad when arriving at a new club, probably to send a message to the rest of the squad.

Seems to me as though Leeds are going for a numbers game and hoping one or more of these 'project' forwards improves out of sight. Its possible and I suppose they may feel its better than trying to break the bank for a couple of stars. I can't really say its a strategy that has been that successful in the past - the reality is that by mid 20s you tend to get what you pay for.
