Its certainly a gamble to use a quota spot on a player with zero NRL experience. Interesting to see it play out next season..

Watch the final and make your judgement he’s exactly what we need imo

I do need to at some point.

Palasia playing for Samoa in a few weeks isn't he aswell ?

Garbutt had only played a handful of nrl games (I know that’s more than none) and he went ok.

kylie hadn't had a great deal

78 NRL games .57 for Manly in two seasons before he signed for us.

dont remember too many enthused southstanders when he came over though.

Think it may have been on this very site something about another "Turkey" Gawwy had stuffed or something WRT Leuluai.

Man went on to be one of the most successful players Weve ever had.

Yep. Let's give this lad a chance instead of writing him off before he ever pulls on the blue and amber. Looks like he could be a good player to me.

I'm sure people will.
I just think alot of fans patience has worn thin on project / unknown type signings, especially when losing so many players etc

Think Jenkins will be a better signing than Palasia to be honest, despite the disparity in NRL games, certainly the signing that im most happy with out of the 2

Understand that - however the reality is that with salary cap and player availability it’s not easy to recruit props. You often get the kylie arguement as above. The reality is if kylie played now in the NRL we would never get him over here. Nor Ali, or buderus or Webb. That level of NRL player does not come to SL now

100% agree

But Webb was the worst fullback in the nrl according to some (one) on here, surely we'd have a chance
