Not without playing in the best league mate.

Maybe a SL legend, but not all time great.

It must be remembered this deal, like Readon, is subject to a medical.

hope he gets over the op ok,from what ive gathered theres no reason he shouldnt,so fingers crossed,on paper we will have a real agressive go forward pack, please please no more injuries

Its not the first time a player has ever had an operation . Think berro had one just before coming to us . Reardon hadn't played for nearly a year aswell.

You would think that he must be fairly confident of passing the medical, otherwise why get a release from his current contract with the Roosters? If he fails his medical it would leave without a club, and without payment.

The knee arthroscopy is about as minor an operation as you can possibly imagine, it's simply a clear out, nothing more.

Quite. Not sure where all this talk about a reconstruction has come from.

the board below, perhaps????

Don't you Kosh?? The club are waiting to get the player checked out , to be doubly sure, what the he** do folks want? The fact is that he has'nt been the top man he can be of late but a few months off and hopefully he will be OK, at leats we are hedging our bets with the medical. The fact is if, three months ago we were told that these were the first 4 signings we are to make, (and I am convinced there will be others!) then we would have gone with that!! The man is a monster and just the sort of aggression we need to make other clubs wary he will get a few calls to the RL no doubt but lets face it we desperately needs some aggression!!!!!

Good call.

Wonder how much we're paying him for him to walk away from the last year of his £170k p.a. contract down under?

He was released,

Sounds to me like he knew he would only get 1 or 2 years in the NRL, had the option to come to us for 2 with the option of a third, makes sense for us and him.

I thought it was a straight 3 year deal?
