That may or may not be the case and TBF is just your opinion - however that's not the point. The point is and in a way you've just made it for me is that there is a lack of good centres about. In which case for the money and choice available to us he's a decent signing and is without doubt the most experienced player we have in that position.
One things for sure, he can’t be anywhere near as bad as what we had last year - also Smith may not be the God like coach some imagine but he will know Gibsons limitations and will work on them both as a player and in the way the team defends in general.
I’d also contain your excitement regarding Carney, many a fan seems to wet themselves over this bloke even a few on here. Yet apart from last seasons debacle in our home game against Cas Carney when playing ourselves spent most of his time in touch courtesy of such giants as Owen and Fox.

| Quote: newgroundb4cas "Keith Lulia 28 top quality centre who tore us to shreds numerous times for Bradford tricky as they come. Cook island international played NRL first grade is without a club. What are you talking about ask any Bradford fan they liked him, he is far and away the best we would have. Even.Pommeroy tbf but not sure if he's crocked'"
That may well be the case but you are as ever missing the point.
Is he available? If he is and he’s that good why isn’t he at a top SL club? Odd when there are so few good centres about.
You seem to think the grass is always greener elsewhere, however it’s the team that matters not individuals in which case Gibson is a small part of that and Smith clearly feels he is capable of playing that small part. Just like every other player in SL Gibson will look good in a team that is well drilled and well motivated and hopefully that’s what we will get.
Finally why do you put so much credence into what Cas and Bradford fans say and so little in what a world class coach thinks - odd, really odd.

| he is available but hes a gamble after his shocking injury. We have every right to be sceptical judging the state we have been in. I have the feeling Smith can get the added extra out of most players. I would hate to see the Lynn and Tansey combination like we saw in the playoffs dear me that was herrendous it was like the chuckle brothers.

Wait, after bigging up Lulia, you're now backtracking and saying we shouldn't sign him?

I think I read somewhere yesterday he's talking to three SL clubs.
And. Michael Carter has not been on Twitter to deny it, make of that what you will.

I think MC would break out in a cold sweat at the thought of his salary, reportedly $500,000 usd (about £340,000)

I imagine if he does come to SL, one of the top clubs will use there Marquee player allowance.
Leeds would be my bet.

| The thing is, do we desperately need to make another signing, just because we have some spare coin?
Is it burning a hole in someone's pocket and it needs to be spent now?
Or like someone else said, wait and see what happens, then midway through the season there maybe a player that is not going to have his contract renewed at his present club at the end of the season?

Calling someone a gamble suggests there is some doubt about a signing. This conflicted with your posts where you were adamant that Lulia would be quality for us.
As for school, I'm not the one who consistently misspells players' names.
