Fingers crossed. Well known i have my reservations but there is no denying his experience and past playing record. The deal seems a sensible one and if he's fit and focussed and coming here for the right reasons then it may well pay off, if not then getting rid at the end of the year isn't a problem. Proctor & gamble i suppose.

I'll get my coat.

I can’t see anything but positives in this signing. Only time will tell I suppose but I genuinely have a good feeling about this one.

Now it's been announced feels like a real positive signing. Agree with the 1 year deal comments and doesn't commit us to much if it goes wrong.

Hope he enjoys his time here and we get the best out of him. Feel like he can elevate the group and its a statement to others who might be in talks with the club.

I agree. Signings like this help recruitment immensely

It could be an excellent signing. There’s a degree of risk but if he comes fit and motivated he could impress in superleague.

Could do with another 5 Proctor type players he can't do it on his own

Have we brought Australians/south sea islanders with a “colourful” CV in the past that turned out to be sensational?

You could add Tetavano to your squad as we are looking to offload him apparently.

Can't help wondering whether his problem was that he was at a club that paid him well, perhaps more than he'd get at other clubs, but was never going to win anything, so complacency set in for him. If he'd had to bust a gut at Melbourne or Roosters, he might have been top drawer for longer.

I know you could apply the same analogy with us, but he won't have to bust a gut to excel here, as the standard isn't at NRL standard.

Would be a decent signing. Like him as a player just needs to cut the penalties out etc.

No thanks.

Isn't he a marquee signing on >£200k per an? Can't see him leaving that sort of contract easily.

Seems with Prior and this rumour now that Leeds have their eye on a few WC players. I’d rather us look at some of these WC players ourselves tbf.

Interesting points about Proctors signing helping with recruitment …

I think Anthony Tupou was a conduit to us signing a number of decent overseas players.. and Proctor could be the same…

I think the biggest barrier is the vast ( and growing) salary expectations of ex NRL players

Pretty sure it Was Tupou that brought/spoke to Arona and Dave to the club (think they mentioned this in the heritage podcasts)
