A good signing does all the right things nothing flashy a good honest forward who's settled in well, I'm happy with the signing.

I think the ''enforcer'' bit has been overblown and that may have coloured some peoples judgment.
He's OK but not world beating.
Size isn't everything in a prop - Danny Nutley was very very good but only a small guy.
He's certainly no dud, and I'm happy to reserve judgment until the end of the season.

Happens with almost all ex NRL forwards. If We signed the NSW front row and had the maroons front row on the bench we would still find something to whinge about. Aussie forwards are not superhuman. We think so because they have dominated in test matches for the last 40 years. We can match their forwards. Look at Morley, Burgess. Bros, cooper, etc etc.
The tip is to not get sucked into the hype to flog season tickets.
I have had premier sports for the last 3 seasons and there is not one forward that I could say are streets ahead of what we have over here.
Now half backs, wingers, centres and full backs are light years ahead.
Sims is doing nothing more or nothing less than I expected.
He is fine. But having said all that I didn't think that Tietzel was that bad.

Dont quote me on this but my mates are very persistant Wigan fans who keep talking that we have signed Matt Bowen from them for next year, now im not into gossip much but i just wanted to know if anyone else heard this?

To be honest hes not the answer IMO

Yeah full back is obviously a priority and a knackered has been would do nicely. I think they're pulling your leg...if not I'll cry.

That is by far the worst rumour I've ever read on here.

Im hoping so aswell!

Jesus, whilst we are at it why don't we sign Dennis Moran for the halves......

I think he may have a couple of weeks off after that forearm on the prone Leeds player.

Nah, penalty sufficient for me.

Agreed. If we're giving out bans for stuff like that, team won't be able to raise 17 players for a game.

No

They had too much pie crust in their gobs, and you misheard them
They were on about his brother, Jim

Look what you woulda won

some people are looking stupid in their unwarranted attack on sims... another fine prop forwards display from him tonight.

Another solid game from him tonight. I wonder if anyone else has had the thought that he may be part of the reason that we have seen such a big improvement in Roy this season. A few posts in this thread have hinted at this. There is now doubting the influence that model professionals we have had in the recent past such as M Monas, or Morley can bring to the training ground and the dressing room.

He's no journeyman and in that sense, sets the example; Follow me boys.

I'd make him captain and take the burden off J Monas shoulders, as I'm not sure it's done him any good.

Excellent performance.
Sims really wanted it tonight.
