Dead pleased with this signing, and think he'll end up in the centres when Biggs arrives.

They have indeed, I have no doubt he was happy with that decision when he was getting up at 4 in the morning to empty bins then going training only to get dropped to 3rd grade. A wise move indeed. |

Being dropped might be the reason he has agreed to sign for Hull Fc not every player finds it easy to switch codes |

Must admit that the on the bins story doesn't add up for someone that could change that situation with the supposed talent they have. 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. |

Make as many snide comments as you like about the kid and his choices but the fact is it's not as unusual has you make out for players to walk away from pro sport and you have no idea about the kids personal or psychological circumstances after his illness. He may feel now is the right time to get back to fulltime sport in an environment with not nearly as much pressure as the NRL.
Time will tell whether this is a good or poor signing but for now and every time he (if it comes off) pulls on the jersey he'll have my support. |

My disappointment isn't with Talanoa, it's with whoever signed him. |

Give the guy a break
He went from never touching a ball in 2004 to $200,000 AUD contract in 2006.
He must have something about him
I don't blame him for not wanting to play again quickly after having a liter of liquid taken out of his lungs when he had pneumonia.
He's never even played a game yet and loads of you questioning the guy.

Spot on. All the signings will get my backing. My pass money is being invested by Pearson, If it doesn't pay off then that's sport. Not every signing will be a world-beater. Sheldon's not a passholder, doesn't attend games over here either so its not really an issue for him.
We put up with Dowes and Graeme Horne for years and they were the very definition of average.
We have signed Tuson, Paea and Feka. A very good set of forwards and now a powerful centre. We've addressed the Holdsworth issue (at great expense to Pearson) and are signing a replacement. What more do people want? |

Please, he hasn't played centre for 5 years.
What people want is better recruitment. |
