| Smith already looking like the unknown find of the season!
Ready made replacement long term for Amor, similar style player minus the facial hair.
One criticism I can't make of Agar or whoever scouts these players is that they have an eye for a player.
I know there are those who criticise the fact that these players are getting picked ahead of home grown but hand on heart this batch of signings look better than the above to me.
Smith - top notch for a young player NRL reserves did him the world of good.
McShane - excellent
Godinet - what can you say, looks great to me.
Sammut - settling in after a nightmare first game.
Tautai - finding his feet after joining late last season.
Anderson - not wowed me yet but not disappointed either.
Ryan - same as Anderson.
as for the loan players, Keinhorst, Briscoe and Riley are good cover - would love to keep Riley.
Forwards are better than the backs but not bad in pure recruitment terms.

| Wholeheartedly agree. Would love to take Reilly on permanently and BJB to add some real pace to the back line. That's the only thing we really lack that I can see.

| Would Smith's signing be anything to do with the Hetherington connection, with him being at Leeds before he went to Aus? Shaping up pretty well from what I've seen, Leeds' (and Cas') loss is our gain.

I Thought the same but yesterday I thought he looked fitter, stronger & drove in really hard making good yards. Hope he kicks on from here.

| Anderson played the entire first half yesterday and then the first 10 minutes of second. In anyone's book that's a decent stint. Drove it in hard and kept hold of the ball. Job done for me

| Dan Smith is certainly going well for a youngster,Godinet and Sammut look as though they will make a great pairing once they get a few more games.Tautai certainly starting to put some quality stints in now.Anderson doing as he said he would when he signed for us Graft and hard yards.Would be nice to get Riley on the books but hey ho at least it looks like things are on the up with more game time.

Wasn't at the game so can't judge, good to hear.

As stated we can't all make it to London games so it's good to hear - any reason why he was required to play that many minutes?

| Ryan is at full fitness (doesn't seem like that anyway). He was a stand out player in the games he played for Parra, I think once he gets his fitness and is played at 2nd row he'll kick on. Anderson is a good prop, does the job better then Poore because he comes with a lot less penalties. McShane quality attacking from 9. Dan Smith needs to be kept. Tautai too if he keeps playing consistent. Don't think Keinhorst and Briscoe will offer us anything but cover. Riley is a quality player. Our halves will get even better, I wonder if young Seijka will get a game!

| Thought Anderson had a fantastic game yesterday. Drove the ball in like a bulldozer and was driving it in as hard after 40 minutes as he was after the first.
Said as much at the game but its nice that others recognised his contribution because without the forwards work and dominating the opposition pack the backs cannot perform.

| Been impressed by all new players, only one that hasn't convinced me so far is Ryan, for his size he is so ineffective but I'll give him more games.

| Why they kicked it to Jarrad,who in turn fed Anderson to smash Broncos ,and gain precious yards every time,I don't know All the forwards were excellent yesterday,but I thought Scott just edged it for the forwards.

| Heard Dan Smith was mucked about by Leeds hence did one to NRL. Apparently He has a brother Thats rated even better and because of scenario with Dan they were reluctant to let his brother join Leeds but did in the end.

I read somewhere that his brother is one of the most wanted players over here, meant to be the next 'Sam Burgess'.

| Dan Smith was part of our junior set up until he moved to Leeds at under 16 age group. So to my mind that makes him home trained.
