Anyone else see his performance for Canberra last weekend.

Turned the game on it's head in the last fifteen minutes.

In fifteen minutes his stats read something like:-

Carries 7.
Metres gained 95.
Line breaks 5.
Tries 1.

The commentators were out of their seats.

We are due an Aussie signing who actually delivers an I've a feeling that this guy could be the one.........I'm getting a Nat Wood vibe

Fingers crossed!

Welcome to Warrington Blake

You could be right.
If we it our thumbs in enough buckets...eventually we'll come out with a plumb.

We have had too many false dawns for me to get too excited about this. I just hope this will not be another to go alongside Gidley, Sandow and Roberts as aussie halfbacks that have not lived up to expectations for various reasons.
Looking how far the raiders are off the top 8 in the NRL it would be good if we can tempt him over for the last month of the season if nothing else just to get a head start on things but i dont know if that door closed back in about 2006 (or was that just for short term contracts)

Gidley was signed as a fullback. We pressed him into service at 7 when our other halves proved incapable. He did a reasonable job outside of his natural position.

I think we can still sign him at this point in time, I think the start of the 8's is the cut off point these days?

The issue would be I guess we would need to offload Roberts to fit another £175k of salary under the cap, as of 30th June NRL clubs have passed their transfer window, so going back to the NRL early wouldn't be an option for him.

"good footy"

Glad it’s his missus who wants to move the family over. Happy wife, happy life. Unless your wife is Rosemary West.

2016 SL dream team member Gidley? Or a different one?

Without wanting to sound as though I am blowing smoke up where the sun don't shine, I really think Austin could be one of the best signings for a few years.
Seen him play a lot and he is class.
As long as you do not expect him to be a leader in defence, he will be a great signing for you.
