You've been smoking that rastafarian old holburn again!!!

And maybe this time you'll do it when the result matters

He's the player Ferres has identified. Hopefully he's picked the right player off the YouTube clips, unlike season gone.

I haven't seen the lad pull on a shirt so all I can do is hope for the best if true. Can't help feel disappointed that we haven't attracted anyone with a proven track record in this country though. Always a bigger risk recruiting from Oz, will he settle over here and is he going to be good enough to guide the side?

Perhaps worth a punt if we managed to sign someone like Godinet who can do a job for us in the halves and to spell O'Brien.

Could hardly be as bad as marc herbert who the real peter hood identified using the same youtube methods.

Well, yeah he could. The problem is that the more you go down the ability chain, the more there are of that standard. Very few 'world class' players but hundreds, if not thousands, of 'nearly but not quites'. And worse, If we're fishing from youtube it's a very murky pond.

I think we'll all agree that Marc Herbert wasn't of the suitable YouTube quality that he was signed on.

Signing players from YouTube clips isn't going to help shift the 5000 season membership sales though.

Sammut and Godinet are most certainly both available for the right contract.

maybe brian has reported back following the usa v canada international.

Good shout.

Pity you didn't value Brian's opinion and values a few years ago, Peter. Would you like to expand on that?

Reading the match report, Rhys' brother played half back and scored a hat trick whereas Rhys played at 9. If he has been signed as a back up 9 who can play 7 when our yet to be announced 7 needs a rest then fine, if he's signed to be starting 7 then Im less sure, Id give him a chance but our recent record at picking up undiscovered gems from the lower reaches in Oz is not good, and I'd prefer to pick a more proven option (with some of the cap money we've splashed on the back row) or loan a younger up and coming fringe player from a super league squad for the season, but we'll see I guess.
