Your entitled to your opinion Archie, i,ve watched quite a bit of NRL over the last few seasons and seen him a few times and have said 'i'd love to see him here' as i did with Crocker, so i'm prepared to give him a chance, hope he gets himself fully fit and revitalised again and we see the best of him, cos at his best he'll do for me.

He played for Australia up to 2006 and in the City v Country match a couple of months ago.

Whilst he may not be "world class" (and no such Aussie would come here anyway) he certainly isn't "terrible".

I apologise foor getting my facts wrong there, it was off the top of my head

Berro was still world class when he signed for us.

His form of the last couple of seasons has been terrible, if he can recapture his form prior to that, then excellent. I really hope I am proved wrong!!

I really don't get this negativity about his signing. IMO he is nothing short of a fantastic signing. He is everything in a prop forward that we don't currently have, he is big, hard, aggressive and proven at the very highest level and at 28 yrs old he is in his prime as a prop forward.

So he has a knee problem ?? How many players play in the NRL or SL for 10 years without having a knee, shoulder or wrist reconstruction at some point ?? Berrigan ?? Crocker ?? These operations are common place and most of the time they prove to be a successs and prolong the career for a number of years.

Some are saying that he has had a couple of lean years, well that's fair enough but he is playing in NRL's worst team currently for a coach that he clearly and publicly doesn't get on with. A move to England with us, IMO, is just what he needs to get back to his best and I am really looking forward to seeing him in a black and white shirt.

Lauaki, O'Meley, Fitzgibbon, Moa and Manu in the same pack looks very very good to me !!!!

you know there is no room for positivity in these threads!!!

Don't start the GB fans off.

We could do with another 'maverick' player like Blacklock......A player that you just can't coach to a certain style cos he'll only play 'his way', which differs from week to week. Its hard for the opposition to do their homework on a player like that. I hope O'Meley has a rebelious nature (not on the negative side...Drink etc), and can't be turned into 'just another forward'!
Nathan Blacklock for me, was probably the most infuriating yet exciting player this club has had for years.......Deano Treister comes a close second!

Our lass says hes an annoying b*stard like Crocker,
Always looking for a big hit or a fight.

Well at least we'll have something to look forward to during a game then if we're still as sh*t next year as we are this!

Radford, Fitz and O'Meley vs anyone in a scrap would be good to see.

If he's playing for us next season, I won't be going!! Everyone claims that he's a hard man, but never seen him dish out anything on the pitch!?

Just because he can handle himself, doesn't mean he has to.

And I also agree I don't think he should be here next year, but I said that last year and this year so just expect it from our stupid board and coaches now.

First Fitzgibbon, now Shrek - do you plan to sign any other members of the We Wuz Pummelled By Scully club?
