I've watched pretty much all of South Sydney's matches this season and Goodwin has been an impressive performer in a team having a hugely disappointing year.

He will prove to be a very good signing.

Kiwi International, NRL Centre...he will do.

Unfortunately that's isn't a fact the club shares.
The clubs official line is they approached Leigh before then following Hiku's request to leave.

Not quite the same thing. I left the first sentence in between edit because is was amusing.

Once again throwing the money around after Broomhead said money isn't everything.

He was coming to you whether we got relegated or not, it was agreed before saturdays result.
He did not become free due to the result - you have paid Leigh a significant amount to get his services

Good for the player - far too good for champ rugby, and good for Leigh as we can use the fee and his cap space to strengthen across the team

For clarity is using the term "happy clappers" or "negs" or "Mr Happy" in breach of the AUP (genuine question).

On balance that is good "swap" with Leigh. Evans for Goodwin. No brainer.

Maybe the money was from the deal the club have received from Toronto for Joe Westerman.

it isn't, however in our current state as a below average 9's team, its smarter and more of a necessity to not allow him to hit the open market and we get in a bidding war with other clubs.

So it is still Moran pulling the strings when it matters.

They are all as tiresome as each other.
