Can’t say that I have seen a lot of this guy to be honest. He’s done two stints at Melbourne and two years in between at the NZ Warriors. Don’t think he’s featured in the starting group for Melbourne this season but I have seen some comments from fans saying he has a great style of prop play for the modern game. Some injuries have held him back from regular first team I have heard also.
Bottom line, we have signed a fast mobile prop, who is only 28 and wants to prove himself. So much, that he is willing to come here mid season.
If you search Queensland Rugby League and SC Falcons, you will see his stats for this season. They look very solid, especially meters made, post contact meters and tackle/tackle efficiency. All areas that unfortunately Big Ben did not shine at.
I think we have a good’un who will not have broken the bank.

This was one rumour that never went away.

“It’s just club policy that we don’t discuss those sort of rumours or let’s say speculation that are linked to our club,” Lam said.

“It’s something that Chris Chester (Leigh’s head of rugby) is driving at the moment and if there is any further information to be had we will let anyone know as soon as that happens.

I reckon he was in the bag and signed up by Leigh months ago. All the contract extension saga at Newcastle came too late. I think that he was already our signing.

Pure speculation on my part

Degsey did say last week that a player was to arrive (last Friday). I think that's what a couple of posters were alluding to. I guess the club like to play cloak-and-dagger a little bit.

Great news if it comes off, I’ve never known a time in the last 10 years where the NRL churn out Full Backs who are ridiculously good, if he’s half as good as Teddy, Turbo, Edwards, Papenhausin, Gutherson we are in for a real treat
