Just had a look at him on YouTube, he has a great short kicking game with a few grubbers from ten metres out. At best it will gain us some tries or repeat sets from this massively underused tactic. At worst we hand possession over a metre or so from their own line.

That will do for me.

Tricky Trindall, Joseph Paulo, Anthony Laffranchi, Josh Perry, Joel Thompson, Ryan Morgan, Luke Douglas etc etc etc

And a scouting process that now looks to start and end with Woolf calling up his Tongan mates and seeing who fancies it.

It says he'\s from a town called Scone. Burning question is how does he pronounce it. Scone or scone?

Knowing him he'll pronounce it scone when it really should be scone.

To be honest and this is something else to lay at the feet of Lam - why didn:t he do the same with some of the PNG boys? By all accounts he's an idol over there. Surely there must have been some flying PNG winger that we could have signed? A team struggling for go forward and a nation known for big and powerful wingers.

Let's not forget the time they signed the wrong Adamson brother.

Having a laugh? It’s scone not Scone.

Thank god for that. I think though that this means either French or Field are leaving though rather than Tommy retiring. Seems pointless having one of those on the bench or not in the 17. Maybe Field but nobody has seen anything of him so it isn't a loss that we know of. He might be a superstar but it might not be here.

Please, please, please sign a top centre now and i will be a happy man.

If you think back to when we bought the title every season back in the 90s (although we didn't) Other teams were picking up real bargains. Maybe if we could find a gem like Paul Newlove like Saints did we would be ok. he didn't cost that much did he Wolve boy?

I honestly have never really noticed him in the NRL however I’ve sat and watched a few videos of him this afternoon.

Now I appreciate these are highlight reels etc so it’s tough to make a judgement however a few things stand out.

He looks technically very good.

2 hand carry, steps off both feet and can pass off both hands.

Looks to have an excellent short kicking game.

Looks comfortable taking on the line and quite explosive.

Looks a bit of a maverick who plays with his eyes up. I think this is great I just hope he is able to play that way.

I’m not blowing my beans over the signing but I do think he looks promising.

same with Field on his to be fair

You missed Ben Barba, like I said on another post we might/have signed NRL players who haven't lived up to expectations but I can't ever recall us signing someone who so blatantly threw the towel in when he thought he'd got a contract back home

Brian Carney, but he was going to the NRL and not home.

Was thinking the same.
