While I agree that with many signings some fans get it completely wrong, and often don't have then ability to judge potential of players and judge it completely at face value, for example I think sometimes fans would sooner sign a player who's played 100 average NRL games then a kid tearing it up in the reserve grade but I don't agree with the notion that you can't have an opinion on a player until he's played for the club.

This signing is as near perfect as you can make, so of course only a numpty would question it, he's young, experienced, proven, played at a much higher level, has the stats, size, a position that we need to strengthen, seems to get it right off the field and has no baggage. Wonderful signing, myself and every other fan I've spoke to is really excited to watch the lad play.

Take Washbrook for example though, are people supposed to just forget what we've seen before in the blind hope that he transforms in the off season? I've you've got an opinion on a player voice it, just be prepared to have to defend that opinion if it's stupid.

so you keep telling us, yawn

I believe fonua could be our centre next year ,Radford wont go with logan and yeaman in the centres so imo will have fonua earmarked there, none of us know what our makeup will be in the backs for next year but imo our new players look decent signings,

I remember in Jordan turners first season, none of us knew if he was a centre or LF. I agree centre is a specialist position but JT was rarely deemed a specialist centre however he's cemented that position at Saints. For me this is why Fonua could ultimately be our first choice centre by this time next season

spot on dave
