| I'm in the "I think he's done okay" camp but want to see more. I'd love to have a forward who made the immediate impact that Shane Tronc did (only for it not to go sour). Poore is a different type of forward to Tronc but is a big fella.
He needs to keep making the hard yards and show some restraint on the discipline front. A team such as ourselves in the lower half of the table cannot afford to give away needless penalties.

| I just checked and he is very high on the stats for giving penalties away. That surprised me.
He makes very few errors, which is great but he needs to pick up on the penalties.

| Quote: Tommy Duckfingers "For what it's worth, I'm with you. Has been steady without cracking any pots in my opinion - done some nice things but done some equally stupid things too. Must admit, I was cheering as loud as anybody when he stuck one on Bailey and the pasty Ginge at Wigan - but agree or not throwing punches will usually land you infront of the beak and spending time in the stands, and on a tight budget like ours we can't afford to have a big salary sat watching through their own actions.
For our marquee signing, former state of origin player I think we should be seeing a bit more from him.
Reckon the imports get an easy ride sometimes from the fans, and there is a certain amount of blinkerednes when it comes to them. I mean, look at people licking their lips at the new lad who we don't even really know what position he plays.....
He hasn't been bad for us by any means, but certain players carry certain expectations and somebody with a pedigree and profile such as his (and presumably a wage packet to match) should be under more scrutiny to deliver than those "lesser" players.'"
That's true enough.

He is the highest penalty giver in SL but also a very good player. Reminds me a bit of Millington at Tigers - we need to see a bit more from them both IMO.
Does anyone get the impression that these players sometimes take us for a bit of a ride? Seeing "Europe" with their wifes/girlfriends while they get the chance, while they are over here?

Think his wife is English or lived here for a while so maybe not. I do think they still underestimate our game due to the parochial Aussie press. I think the skill levels and intensity of SL is lower but the work rate and fitness required is the same and that's a shock to them.

Not a twitterer myself, so roughly translated am I correct in saying someone (details please) asked him if he was leaving at the end of the season and he confirmed that he is.
If so, it just shows the average contract is about as much use as an wipe.

Hope this is true, he's not a flash player himself but could easily be the bedrock for the foundations of a class pack. I think this pack is easily the best unit we've had for years, and Agar seems to know what needs to be done to improve it.

| Thought he came across as a genuine guy. Has done voluntary work in Rwanda, wanting to give something back.

| Last week Justin took time out to speak with a group of the regions most promising young players, he was inspiring yet frank and grounded about a career as a RL pro. He delivered some of the most relevant and thoughtful advice to the boys in the room that anyone could have imagined.
Richard Mathers was very much the same which was no suprise to me as I've seen him do it before with organised groups as well as unselfishly spending his own time to help individuals on the spur of the moment.

| Well for me he has just had his best games at home Catalans and Wigan and set the tempo from the off in both games and that had the rest giving it a good go.For me I would like him to stay as Im sure after his first year here he would be well settled in and we could see with the rest of the forwards we have now a pack that can match any side.

| At the Audience With at Carlton Agar rubbished talk of Justin leaving and said that we were looking to extend his contract. If that is also what Justin says then I think we should accept that and let this go.
As a player I feel that Justin in top notch. He's big, tough, hard working, hits hard, makes metres and draws tacklers in - that's his job as I understand it. He also seems like an intelligent, well-rounded person.
