I think its fair to say alot of supporters are going to be a bit underwhelmed if the nrl back isnt a big name. Thats not to say he wont do a good job but alot of people are expecting a big name. Hope we get one I really do but I guess its just wait and see.

From my own assessment of our squad, the only places that we are desperate to strengthen in is the backrow and the right 3/4's.

For the backrow we have Manu, Tickle, Westerman, but after that we're having to play inexperienced players such as Cunningham, Green, Kent, etc. Whilst I'm all for giving these guys a chance, I don't feel that they should be thrown in the deepend in this way.

Our right-hand side defence is a well known problem. Needs sorting asap. Hopefully Gentle will get onto this issue as soon as he gets over here, or is conversing with McRae about it.

I'm more than happy with the changes that we've seen to the club since Pearson bought it, aside from the change to sundays because they don't fit in with other things I have going on. We've seen a change in management, review of areas of the club, money being invested in players, etc.

And you put 'you expect a big name player' suggesting anything else would be a disappointment.
