Confirmed as a signing for us yesterday afternoon. Thoughts?

It would've been a decent signing at the beginning of the season, hopefully be can put in some performances and get us off the bottom.

Decent signing now with Smith having a dislocated shoulder and Meadows banned

He is the king of try assists, but the way he does that is by developing little pet plays with other players to make use of their strengths.
It will be interesting to see how he goes, but my first thought is that he needs to spend a lot of time developing partnerships to be at his best.

His stats are impressive, if they work at it in training, he could be a shrewd signing. He is a scrum-half, which means Cunningham/fozzard can go back to sharing the No9 duties, which would be good.

He also seems to have an extreemly good kicking game, which means it gives us another option other than Abdull, which takes the pressure off him and that other teams will not know who to target!

Thats a luxury he doesn't have sadly

He is the best educated young half in the game.
He came into the Knights elite development squad at age 15 when our billionaire owner decided to spend millions on junior development and appointed Graham Murray to develop the programme - so he was getting one on one coaching from a former SOO coach at age 15. He played for NSW and Aust all through the age groups except under 20s because he was already playing firstgrade by that age. In the under 20s, he took the Knights to an under 20s minor premiership when he was 17 and spent a few years getting one on one coaching from Scott Dureau. Last year he was sent for weekly coaching sessions with Matt Johns and also spent the whole off season as under study to Mitchell Pearce, and this off season him and Lochy Lam spent the whole off season doing opposed sessions against Cooper Cronk and Luke Keary.
The kid should have a honorary Phd in halfback play by now.

Been linked with a move for Toulouse back rower Rhys Curran.
Will be a fantastic signing if so.

He's arrived I hope we get to see him take on Hastings at the weekend.

I'm assuming none of those one-on-one sessions involved tackling?

Defence was dreadful. Few nice plays towards the end.

He were crap against Salford.

Needs to pull out his finger on Saturday

Think they targeted him as well, obviously saw him as a weakness just hope he improves on sat

V good yesterday tho, no? Two really good kickers in the team now.

Very good yesterday? Assume you didnt watch the game, his defence is shocking.
Last tackle kick still not as good as it should be, jordan still main go to for kicks in general play
