you'll probably put this down to FC bias, but I post looking at it objectively. I don't know how he will go for you guys, steady performer but I don't know if he is a wow signing. Will no doubt help to bring on people like Oakes etc.

No, that sounds pretty fair. Difficult to know how any new overseas signing will go.

Probably towards the top end of what teams can be expected to sign from the NRL these days though (one or two exceptions apart), so hopefully he'll go well in Super League

If you didn't feel that way you probably would not have thought to make that statement. From reading Aussie fans comments could well be better than any second row you have. Only time will tell. That is possibly KR bias by the way.

Very solid signing in my opinion. Does that leave Vaivai on the wing?

It's a good question, and certainly gives us some options. I wouldn't be surprised to see

Vaivai
linnet
Keinhorst/crooks
Shaw/hall

Left edge would be devastating, right edge solid. I like vaivai in centre mind, can get his winger away a lot. Although his defence gets a working over which isn't his strongest suit. Decisions!

A very good signing. Don't see how anyone could say otherwise

You don’t support fc Craig

Very true. Looking very solid side now and still another rabbit to pull out of hat.Exciting times for The Rovers.

Seen a bit of him on Premier sports, big unit, likes to get his winger away. Cant remember seeing him play 2nd row at all.
If he's fit i think he'll be very good. And gotta have a winning mentality after all those grand final wins

Very good player, defensively sound and can score a try.

Not flashy but does the basics very well.

Similar profile to Blair when he signed for us.For all the good service of the released players and many were fan favourites we seem to have finally learnt that size matters in RL. We have been too nice as a team for a long time but we look a good mix of size and aggresion now.

Don’t know much about him beyond what i’ve read today, but these signings feel like the club making good on their plans. Most optimistic, i’ve been in a while.

If we can add another half at the level of a Drinkwater or a Lui, then mid-table respectability looks very realistic. I think the key thing is that we’re not writing off a chunk of games against teams with stronger packs as more or less unwinnable now, having added the likes of Garbutt, Lannon and Joel Tomkins.

This coming season may be a bedding in season in that for all the good signings and Addy/Lawler back it's a lot of turnover in players.If the new half is of similar level as Linnett then who knows how we will go but the foundations look very impressive? Get Quinlan back fit and then our aims may be a bit higher?

Could even be the plan to play him more as a running 2nd row like Tomkins

Vaivai
Keinhorst
Linnet

Tomkins
crooks
Shaw/hall

They both look solid, left edge linking could be fantastic...?
