Unplayable/unstoppable on his day in the NRL so would light super league up IMO if he can be controlled.Super talented but with issues , would I have him at belle vue , in a heart beat . Tim smith had issues but on his day he was head and shoulders above his counterparts . Getting giddy just the thought of him running out for us .

The lads won Dally M centre of the year twice, he’d be an incredible signing for any SL team. He’s obviously got his off field issues, but realistically what prime NRL player is coming to SL now without issues etc.

Blimey, doesn't matter how you view it that's a big signing for Fev and well done to them. If they can keep him under control and fit he will rampage in that league.

One thing that amused me though, he fell out with his last coach because he always blamed the players, in which case I'm not sure he's picked his new coach wisely eusa_whistle.gif

Seem to be putting a decent squad together now they've signed that Jesse wotsit from Cas as well, think they'll give Leigh a good run for their money this coming season.

Quote: PopTart "Why can't we compete with Featherstone?

I guess it depends whether Willie thinks he can keep him under control. And whether he wants a new start.

Yes but we witnessed a lot of good on the pitch before things turned sour for whatever reason.

I have no reason to doubt what I’ve been told about him and there is a good reason why no NRL or SL club would touch him.

Wouldn’t want him anywhere near Trinity despite his ability.

So your now going to beat the club up because they didn’t sign a player with numerous issues that WP probably didn’t want anywhere near his team.

When are fans like you going to twig, the NRL does not let players go unless they are not good enough or in this case totally unmanageable.

In the last ten years hardly any of the SL imports direct from NRL clubs have been good enough to get a gig in the NRL.

This guy can’t even get one in SL.

Fev are a decent club but you don’t go from the NRL to the Championship unless you’ve nowhere else to go, or do you seriously think you do?

Can’t see him mucking about at fev with big Brian in charge as seems to be a stickler for discipline. Interesting to see how he goes , and if half as good as he’s played in NRL bigger clubs will come sniffing I’m sure

It’s strange when we sign players with a chequered history you say he is just the type of player for us but when they sign elsewhere then they come with too much baggage. A lot depends on the coaches ability to control and get the best out of each player. I have seen him play in the NRL and most of his on field problems results from him rushing in to defend his brother.
I guess we will see who makes the greater impact a 19 year old who has been at several clubs in his short time in the game or an experienced NRL centre. I would remind you that so far WP has only been allowed to sign a project from London recovering from a long term injury and a young lad from Leeds. The rest were signed by Chester unfortunately WP has also lost 11 players from last years squad.

Micheal Maguire is a very similar disciplinarian to Brian Mac.

He didn’t want him anywhere near his club, neither did anyone else in the NRL or SL despite his talent.

The more successful clubs talk about culture. Getting the culture right.

The last thing Wakey need is issues within a culture that probably cost the last coach his job.

We need to build a culture which we seemed to lay the foundations during WP’s short reign.

I’m not going into details but from what I’ve been told, and I’ve no reason to doubt it, this bloke isn’t a nice guy or a guy you want around your club if you want a settled rota of players.

I love him as a player but there is more to it than that, and it’s no coincidence that in his prime with his talent nobody wanted to touch him with a barge pole.

There’s a reason he’s signed for Fev.

The guy is trouble
