Quote: vastman "I'n gonna do an about turn now, rare for me.
Up until the signing of Huby and Allgood who are both tough and hard working I wouldn't entertain Mariano because for me he was a luxury we simply could't afford.
Now however the whole team dynamic has changed and I reckon with the right deal maybe he is now worth considering. If we lack anything now it's a forward who is big, strong, mobile and backs up - a game breaker. For all his faults most of which I've banged on about for years that is most certainly Frankies party piece.
If he's not a total crock just in it to steal a wage and that we have any cash left it could be interesting.
I know people will say we need a hooker to replace Moore but we won't find one of that quality short term so we may as well go with the two highly experienced and very adequate hooker/halfback we have in Finn and Woods and perhaps looking to develop Moules further. It's certainly a position I don't want us to rush into, 9 is a key roll and needs to be a well thought out signing.
Hence a punt on Marriano, we now have a good pack so whats to lose.'"
he has signed for Fev
