Hmmmm. So the apparent consensus from the Southstand intelligentsia is.....
"I've never heard of him, ergo he can't be good. Let's write him off before he gets here"
I'm orft to dig my wellies out before this rising tide of tery gets too high.

First and foremost the positives;
He looks big so if he can carry it well we do lack size in the backrow.
Still young
English family so should settle fairly well if he has family around etc.. though I dont know where they are based.
The negatives for me though outweigh at the moment;
Do we need another backrower? We have JJB, Clarkson, Delaney,Ablett, Weller, Stevie not to mention the likes of Singleton etc.. coing up.
At this point he sounds like a 'never made it in Oz' type so not exactly a marquee signing.
Two shoulder recons does not bode well.
When I first read his size I thought great 'a big, young prop, just what we need' Im expecting him to slot in there.
If that happens then Im happy, and will be happier when we sign a quality centre as well.

Ablett is our "new" centre  |

I don't think there's many writing him off mate - just not that many getting excited over a player that no-ones heard of.
As tad says - just wait and see, he might be another Kylie or he might be another Cross. We just don't know. |

I will wait for AP/Keith/William to appear to explain exactly why it's a terrible signing.
Once that's done I can get on with not caring too much how he's played down under and wait to see how he gets on here.'"
<casual shrug>
As others have pointed out, this is the level of overseas signing to expect these days.
Welcome to Super League folks.
Purchases from Waitrose are a thing of the past.
All SL clubs will have to make do with Aldi instead.
He's young so that's a positive. |

Typical signing for a club entering a long transitional phase.

Listening to opposing fans we've been in decline since 2004.
Yet still the trophies roll in.................. |

Correct.. ideally we don't want to bring in overseas signings - we should be wanting British but there aint enough of em available or enough that are good enough. The cap here has stayed the same so we can no longer bring in the big names for down under..
Achurch could turn out to be a very useful signing.. good age, will settle well, good size etc.. but we will have to see.. |
