No idea about this guy but he is a good age and sounds fairly dynamic. Glad we are signing players in mid 20's with pace,. Parcell, Myler, Dwyer and this forward will help move the team in the right direction.
Think cuthbo, Galloway,Delaney , Ablett and JJB (assuming he goes around again) all out of contract at end of 2018. Cuthbo is key to how we play, the other 4 may all be going/retiring. So plenty of change to come.

If Ali Lauitiiti isn't a legend I don't know who is - best overseas signing of the summer era and the X factor in the first GF win in 2004.

Oh to sign another of the same ilk.

yes sorry, Senior would be in for sure too and probably Ali as he has been arguably our best overseas recruit certainly in the modern era. i would say Morley, Harris and Barrie Mac from the mid 90's to start of our golden period, although again there are others who would be thought of highly . I know, i don't want to open a can of worms and as you say it is very subjective.

Back on topic, never heard of this guy. I hadn't heard of Garbutt either, so that might not mean much. He hasn't played much for the Titans even when they've been smashed by injuries, which is a bit of a worry but happy to get some new blood in the pack.

Ive gotta say Im a bit disappointed, he could be the next Cuthbertson but he could also be the next Ben Cross.

I dont get why we are taking risks with NRL signings when it looks like we could get Walmsley in 2018 (unless the these are made up rumours), surely we have space on our cap with Mags and Burrow leaving, as well as at least one marque player quota available.

Re the NRL, its down to economics. You won't get a star, so you could go for a plodder or take a punt. I'd say Galloway was in the plodder category. Going for a hit/miss option has worked before (Leuluai, Parcell) but also failed (Cross, Achurch).

As for Walmsley, where apart from on MBs is there any evidence he's available?

sky said he was in talks and a trade paper said they couldn't reach agreement

Between Leeds + Walmsley?

cas

If he's available we must bring him in

leeds seem to specialise on ' who?' signings that then have games that suit their way and style so i've no doubt he will be a good signing

I happen to think he'll be a good signing - having seen him play in the NRL, I think he'll look good in SL.

However, that piece reads like it's been written by a Leeds super fanboy.... When you read the stats/appearances, it doesn't make for great reading that he's going to be a star, but the author bigs him and Leeds up massively.

I don't get much chance to watch NRL, what's he good at ?.

If he is available then my question would be why? Walmsley is an international with lots of experience and respected.

Does he want to leave saints? Why? Is he not getting on with people, does he feel hard done by?

Do saints want rid of him? Why? Is he on the way down, is he causing trouble?

If it's down to money then we are well known for not going big so not sure we would be the right destination

From what I recall, he runs onto the ball hard and fast, and doesn't slow down for collision. Has the ability to bounce a defender and either make more yards or offload.
