Mr Knock On.

That's dead now. I believe that he asked for more money than we thought he was worth.

Gutted with that, he would have been an awesome impact player for us. I was excited to see him with hill and Simms, but I guess panic buy Dodds will have to do.

Can't you let him pull on the shirt and see how he performs before criticising, I'm obviously not suggesting anything so radical as allowing him time to "bed in", but at least till the first knock on/injury/interview where he doesn't say his life ambition was to play for Wire and he's actually paying Simon Moran for the privilege (and breathe)!

Brisbane Broncos are doing pretty well and Dodds has played 17 games ,spell out with cartilage problem ,so seems like a top player to me , I take it wire have given medical and are satisfied, we wanted a hard hitting prop we've got one , be happy

Fair enough cap, it just annoys me that it does seem like he's a panic buy prop because there's no one else about. Seems like poor planning from our club. I've watched him for awhile and his attack is about on par with Asotasi, his defence is solid but lacks attack. Would have liked to see an impact prop like Akuma drive us forward but Dodds could be a bargain if his knee holds up fingers crossed.

What do you base the "panic buy" assessment on?

So are we up to quota now with Aussies, Joel, Dodds & Sandow ? Sims is Samoan I believe ?

Sims is Fijian. Don't forget Gidley either.

You're both wrong sims is an Aussie , he qualified to play for Fiji cos his mother was born there.

So how many Aussies can we have then? I thought the quota was so called reducing year on year.

Five, that's our lot.
