In no way do I mean to come across as ungrateful, but how does a player with so much NRL experience end up at a Championship Club?

Where was he playing most recently? and what were the circumstances of him coming to Widnes?

He was at Quins until recently but has has had a bad run of injuries and I guess we are the ones willing to take a risk on him.

Plus I believe he was quite good mates with Haggy when they were at Harlequins which probably put him on the radar.

He's quite injury prone, but a decent player.

His size means he's not going to make a huge impact going forward and lots of lie breaks, but he will consistently make metres. He's very strong in defence as well and has a good work rate.

Consistency is his main asset.

Seems to have the experience, fingers crossed .

The key is play and pay or contract.
I empathise with your injury situation but the risk factor must be high, hence a whiff of desperation is present.

If his shoulder holds up you have a good player. He has had a number of Ops but has had it pinned in the of season.

Spoke to him on Sat at the Quins. He is looking forward to getting in the shop window for a contract for next year. Good mates with Haggy.

Pretty good signing for us is that, a battle hardened NRL/SL player.

He works hard and if it weren't for his dodgy shoulder he would still be playing SL.

Beggars cant be choosers at the moment.

If he can stay fit then he certainly adds some size.

Hopefully we can give some of the younger lads a bit of a rest now instead of having to force them to play with knocks and injuries.

Possibly battle softened from the sounds of things..

To be honest if he has anything like an impact that Adel Fellous did when he arrived I'll be skipping for a week.

Adel Fellous, very good player.

Anyway Heckenbeckenberg or whatever your name is, welcome to the asylum. Your straight jacket is in the corner. You can take it off match times.
