Quote vastman="vastman"You really think this lads CV makes him a "beggars" players. Get real he's hardly a Bush League player is he with GF medal - Sam Burgess hasn't got one of those and you'd have him.

I've no idea what standard he is likely to play at for us. Never seen him play I don't think - and I would hazard a guess that the overwhelming majority of posters if they have seen him haven't taken any notice of him. Yes the CV is impressive on paper but lets not forget that Poore played SOO in recent memory and Steve Southern looked good in theory......
I hope he comes good, I really do. I love seeing raw boned bruising props play for us (nothing like a barnstorming carry or a big hit to get the adrenaline of the team and fans up), but I will leave the salivating to others at this stage.
As ever though an NRL club on his record (no matter how long ago it was) and an ozzie accent will buy him immunity. We're supposed to be skint and yet we have enough money to fly this geezer (and maybe his family) half way round the world and back again. I would have hoped that we had learned a lesson in the past.
Good luck to the lad, let's hope he captures the form that saw him play at that level. He will get my full support.
