Which 4 signings do you think could make a massive impact on SL and which do you think will be massive flops? Here's a link to all of the signings: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=497140
Best
1) Robertson to London - Played really well for Manly and among a number of top coups for the Londoners.
2) Flannagan to Saints - Top grafter for Wests and I would have loved Hull to sign him.
3) Seymour to Hull - Hull have missed a playmaker since Cooke ruined his career and Seymour's relative success in the NRL compared to star SL scrum halves such as Dobson and Dureau (sp) means Seymour could be a massive signing for Hull.
4) Micky Paea to Hull KR - Apparently he's better than his relative at Catalan so he sounds like he will be one hell of a player.
Worst:
1) Moore to Leeds - Haven't rated him for quite a few years and I can't see why the grand finalists have signed him.
2) Lauaki to Wigan - He has the potential to be a really big player for Wigan but I've put him amongst the worst signings as he's a huge risk on a 3 year deal and if he plays like he did at Hull, Wigan will regret that.
3) Aspinwall to Hull - Really average player and not the type of signing that will help Hull push on. Luckily it's only for one year.
4) Lee to Huddersfield - Another really average player and not the type of signing that will help Huddersfield kick on. |

Best:
Trent Waterhouse - Warrington, beast of a back rower
Lance Hohaia - St Helens, brings a new dimension to the team
Micky Paea - Hull KR, another big intimidating forward
Andy Lynch - Hull FC, a good solid grafter alongside O'Meley
Worst:
Josh Griffin - Castleford, below average centre
Steve Nash - Castleford, didn't even look good in the Championship
Ali Lauititi - Wakefield, old & oft injured - would have been better off promoting from within
Richard Moore - Leeds, why? Definition of average, had one good season in his career at Wakefield hasn't been the same since his illness.

Lance Hohaiah to Saints could easily feature in either category, really hard to call how he'll go over here but you sense he'll either rip it up or fail miserably. I can't see him being just 'decent'.

[quote="The Reason":3e09qe5x]Hi Andy
The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

1. Shane Rodney - London, won't get the fans plaudits but has phenomenal work rate.
2. Michael Roberton - London, good under the high ball, good try scoring ability, doesn't miss games, high level of consistency.
3. Antonio Kaufusi - London, Powerful player in both attack and defence will give good go forward.
4. Joel Moon - Salford, good hands and pace for a big man, can play centres, loose and 5/8th.
Worst
1. Grant Millington - Cas, will be about as influencial as Peter Cusask in his final year at Hull.
2. Steve Southern - Wakefield, run of the mill average player, he won't get any mom awards and they'll be no wow moments.
3. Dean Collis - Wakefield, his agent must have sent a tape from his West days, since a bad injury he's lost his bottle.

Joel Moon to me is a bit of a coup for Salford, I always really rated him and I am very surprised they got him so quietly.
Griffin should go great guns too at Leeds, hes a quality prop.

"I'm sorry, but I would hope that we would beat Cas with a 1 day turnaround."
An arrogant Wigan fan a few days before we stuffed them 18-4 at the JJB.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42181.jpg |

I wouldn't worry - there is indeed a feeling of cautious and hopeful optimism amongst most WTW fans, but NGB4C is one of our number who could most kindly be described as 'eccentric.'

The use of the word 'worsed' tell's them all they need to know about him. |
