Wow never heard of the guy and didn't see this coming at all. What caught my eye was the amount of first grade played at the calibre of club. Can only think on a contract acceptable to us as he tries to establish himself over here or back in the NRL. Nice work by the club. Can only imagine that RA has picked up another unknown gem that is rapidly becoming his hallmark

Love the way this signing has come out of blue. It's very unusual now the world is so small with social media.

Well beggars can't be choosers I don't suppose - although I am somewhat disappointed that we have gone down the same old route again for our players. There are mitigating circumstances surrounding it though so will keep the old powder dry.

Just needs to get here for Boxing day and either a Flynn or Bailey to chin now and the cycle is well under way again.

Welcome to the club lad, and good luck.

Very happy with this signing, always liked the way he played, like he says in the blurb - think his game has been stifled a bit, he maybe can express himself better in SL, just hope he is not gonna offload for the hell of it - we have that covered.
Just like to add a Drink o Water to this, maybe a half then we are looking much better next year

Sad thing is I don't think you're kidding - your mock expertise is hilarious sometimes.

6'2" 17 Stone and 2 GF appearances and one winners medal.

Love Andy Raleigh and would sign another one anytime but this bloke is not the Aussies version.

Neither of us have any idea whether he'll be a failure or a success but that's a decent CV, what the heck did you expect

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 signing of way better quality than I was expecting.

This guy is a good signing. I thought we may be dipping into the championship so Iḿ pleased with somebody of this pedigree.

He's on a twelve month deal, not a three year one.
Some people are never happy.

Good bit of business this. Copley's probably worth a go. Very quick.

Tele text suggests he is injury
prone hope he don't think super
league is softer than nrl

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.
