| Not too many quality signings for 2018. David Mead looks like the stand out, with Garry Lo a possible stand out as the season progresses. Kato Ottio and Wellington Albert should shine.
PNG is where the secret goodies are located.

| Mead is meaningless like so many other recent Catalan Aussie recruits.
With Powell stating Ben Roberts will be FB then Lo may struggle to even get a game.
Widnes will be bottom so doesn't matter who they sign.
Wire splash money on players who have been red hot but then usually turn them into average looking players. BMM will be the next to that list:
-----------------------
If McGuire can help HKR avoid the bottom 4 or negotiate the Midfle 8's then he's a good signing.
Myler coming to a successful club at a key age could be the making of him after spending a few years in that backwards heading club in France.

Do you understand the meaning of the word "meaningless?"
David Mead is not meaningless. He is an excellent rugby league player with blinding speed. He will cause damage to opposing defences, including your club's if it is even in Super League.

A good player he may be and if he signed for a good team he could be in the running for best signing. But he hasn't, he's signed for Catalans so it's meaningless.

But he's right, there is something wrong with this signing - there is no reason for a player of his standing to leave the NRL for SL unless he's crocked/has issues/or wants to retire.

| It's two early to tell.
But in terms of potential few can seriously argue against Pauli Pauli. It's a big gamble but boy if it pays off he will tear SL apart.
6'5" 20 stone but fast and athletic with a good off loading game - if Saints had signed him certain VT regulars and Jurnoes would be wetting themselves.
He's a gamble but then arn't they all.

Leeds have signed themselves a similar massive prop from the NRL who is a gamble but has potential in Peteru and people haven't been "wetting themselves" so don't always play the chip on the shoulder routine.

| Unless time travel has become available I couldn't possibly say.
Anyhow who's going to start my favorite thread, the league position conundrum.
I'll go first - Wakefield to finish bottom, again & again &.......
