The rumours are true unfortunately for me as a Giants fan cos i've been a fan of him for a few years. We weren't prepared to beat £140k a year you offered him. Looking forward to seeing him playing over here though and hope he goes well for you.

£140k a year???? Is he that good? what would billy slater want then if he wants that? ha

I think you could easily double that, if not more, if you wanted Slater.

Yes, he is. Based on this years performances anyway. (Didn't rate him last year) Although I'm astonished we can afford that!

Crackin' signing by the way, I've seen him quite a bit this year (Thanks to 433) and he's a very, very good full-back.

Speaking of which, we'll all (sky viewers) get the chance to watch him play against Parramatta tomorrow at 1030. (Replays at 1515, 2215 and throughout the following 3 days)

Oh, please beware that it's probably a poor idea to compare him with Jarryd Hayne who may well be on fire for the 2nd week running. He was awesome against Penrith last week!

And he's out of contract

Really? Wow. Surprised Parra haven't nailed him down for the next ten years.

If he's really worth the money at least we've got something to be excited about. Probably the most high profile signing since Micheal Hancock/Martin Offiah. If we can afford or tempt another couple maybe some fans would start to come back.

Watching the Bulldogs v Eels game now......

Looks like we have signed the wrong fullback!

Hayne - 2 tries in the opening 6 minutes
