However, everybody takes wrong turns in their life and time away from the game may have allowed him to refocus and give it another shot. I will judge him after watching him play a few games.'"
This.
For a young guy to have scored 40 odd trys is 90 or so games in the NRL, he must have something about him. Yes it maybe a gamble but with the Club wanting & looking to get in a decent half back and the cap looking as though it wasn't well managed by SM & PG, plus the problems inherited after RA days then its worth a shot.
Lest be honest its pretty slim pickings out there for quality the days of signing top drawer players from the NRL are long gone. Plus even when we have can anyone say we have had value for them? Looking at wingers as an example Matt Sing, Blacklock both prolific and big names when in NRL but didnt do that well for us, Colin Best wasn't a huge name at all and started off here awfully but is still today one of the best wingers we've had in years.
Lets see how he goes in SL before we write him off.
