Every game of theirs is filmed on DVD for judiciary purposes. Players get copies and make highlight packages that their agents use to flog them. You'll even find young players posting them on Youtube.

I like you am unsure about the signing but i've yet to see him play. Where we do differ is that you question whether or not a coach has even seen a player before he was signed. Which really is quite ridiculous. Unless, of course, the coach has no say about next season.

Most possibly....

There are plenty of examples of late developers. Jamie Peacock for one. So its unfair to write this guy off before youve seen him play.

I was under the impression that Phil Bailey was now our main man for player recruitment, particularly from Oz.

I believe that Frank Napoli was signed up after providing some carefully selected video footage, probably pre-DVD.

I'm not writing this guy off prematurely, it's just that his signing doesn't exactly set my pulse racing.

Really? What sort of quality and perspective are we talking about here?

Actually as I'm bored. If you want to see what touchies do, go to:

NSW Cup Round 14: Newcastle Knights v Auckland Vulcans

you can hear their comments to the ref in the vid. And in the very last try you can hear a touchie say "forward" for the ref to say "let him go" and award it.

I'm aware of all of that happening but signing players solely on the basis of these shabby DVD's is ridiculous to be honest. To get a player a trial or something perhaps, but not for a 2 year deal.

It would be the quality of the player rather than the quality of the DVD Dave. Souths signed the player in the link I sent you for this season.

Youve lost this argument. Give it up!

Well there we go then. I wonder who they were.

Have a nice day.

As the article mentioned it was probably Shame Millard who saw him play. I believe he played at Thirroul Butchers after finishing in the UK. Not sure if he is still involved there.

Wow, comparing Jamie Peacock to Shane Grady?

Signing park footballers is not the way forward for this club. Powell has been able to turn some quite handy SL and NRL players into a team of absolute rabble, imagine what magic he can work with Group League players!

If Powell is in charge next season we may as well pack in because these players will continue down the path they are allready on and the day of one man and his dog spectator is fast approaching.

Yep. jbuzza. But he's now the assistant coach at St George Dragons reserve grade side, the Illawarra Cutters.

Funny enough Glen Air was at the Butchers also. (Let me know when you want your alarm call to wake you)
