Why? Are we a half way house?

If you check my posts I don't think I've ever been any thing than positive on our signings.

Happy to give him a chance even if his previous career hasn't exactly set the world on fire.

If he's been sold the AP/Radders philosophy and has bought in, then let's just see what he can do. A player who wants to play for us (even if its all about getting a better deal down under later on) is better than 2 or 3 who aren't bothered.

I'm actually trying to work out what he's actually done to you as your really down on the guy.

This.

For a young guy to have scored 40 odd trys is 90 or so games in the NRL, he must have something about him. Yes it maybe a gamble but with the Club wanting & looking to get in a decent half back and the cap looking as though it wasn't well managed by SM & PG, plus the problems inherited after RA days then its worth a shot.

Lest be honest its pretty slim pickings out there for quality the days of signing top drawer players from the NRL are long gone. Plus even when we have can anyone say we have had value for them? Looking at wingers as an example Matt Sing, Blacklock both prolific and big names when in NRL but didnt do that well for us, Colin Best wasn't a huge name at all and started off here awfully but is still today one of the best wingers we've had in years.

Lets see how he goes in SL before we write him off.

He's playing centre. This from senior coaching last night.

Its easy to ask for better recruitment but the players are NOT available. Name an available 6 or 7 in Super League and NRL that won't blow open our Salary Cap.

How simple it is to sit at a desk and moan about wanting their own choice of players. It must be devastating when the phone doesn't ring from a coach wanting your advice.

He hasn't played for us yet. What a stupid statement.

Why? Whats that got to do with Talanoa?

Not really, i'm jealous of you though and your contacts.

Well As neither of us have ever seen him play in the Superleague think it's best we wait and see how actually goes before making that decision, there's been plenty of others that have been deemed not good enough for the NRL and have turned out to be good enough for Superleague

and yet again another topic taken over by the d1cks who know absolutely F4CKALL about a person, about the FACTS surrounding the signing and act like little squabbling girls.....I wonder why 99.8% of members don't bother on here.

Why not just shut the f4ck up, support the signing, support you coaches and owners decision making FFS.

COYH

So we shouldn't express our opinions on a forum?

When anyone signs we should just point out the good things that player has done and never criticize or question?

What a great forum that would be.

Most of us are willing to give the guy a chance, There's just one who seems to have a right downer on the guy and seems unwilling to give him a chance in Superleague

You mentioned our recruitment. I'm asking who's available and how you know they are ACHING to sign for us. You don't take into account personal preference. We might have money to spend but if you try and force a player to sign with massive money, they won't bother putting in the effort and won't settle. Their agent will be the only happy person in the deal.

I can't wait to see your meltdown when we announce the new stand-off and the "project". I have a feeling you'll have something to say on them.

Give him a chance? How can I do that? Or do you mean not give opinions about him?
