Confirmed by sandy as signed for us ......... Anyone know what he's like

when did he say that ginge

Initial reaction is that he's finished.

Great to have a new PNG hero on board though.

He's a smart player and we've lost a lot of experience, I'm back on the Sandercock band wagon so I'll call it good.

Most turn about opinions in a post award to me.

Another one missed by Salford? Becoming funny.

Great he's a crock.

Meli.

Why how many games has Meli missed this year through injury? And I'd doubt you'd get him on a one year contract either.

He's 28, not 34 *giggle*.

With the knees of a 60 year old. #injuryprone.

Meli has missed 6 games, 4 were through suspension for trying to take off Craig Hall's head, incidentally he injured his own elbow and was unable to play anyway. So, 6 games?

Costingan has missed 7 out of 16 so far this year with injury Meli 6 out of 21.

What about young Morley how many has he missed

Injuries happen. But who is Costingan?

There might be a visa problem due to a drink/drive ban in 2006 if this is true?

From what I have seen of him viz Sky Sports he is a big hitter in the middle of the park and does his fair share at first receiver.

He will add a lot to your defence.
I think his best years are behind him, obviously, but he still has a lot to offer.
Last year and this year he has played a bit of dummy half during games due to our injury crisis, but he isn't going to start as a hooker any time soon - just do 20 minutes there during games if you are desperate. He did score a couple of good tries by diving over from dummy half, because no one expected it.
The highlight of his career was when he stepped up to play prop for Saint George and was one of their best as they went on a winning streak that led to their grandfinal victory, but Wayne Bennett has said he is too small to play prop and it takes too big a toll on his body, even though he is good at it.
If he plays second row he is good for 80 minutes and he keeps the defence on that side of the field rock solid, but when he tries to do a bit with the ball his ball security can be pretty poor at times. At lock he plays the defensive roll of a prop in the middle and is very quiet in attack. At prop he defends well and his ball security is better because he just does hit ups and doesn't try to pass. At hooker he defends well but his dummy half work is pretty slow and predictable, and I doubt he could play more than half a game at most.
He has been part of some very good and intimidating forward packs when playing for Queensland, Broncos, Saints, and now for Newcastle, and he has certainly played a crucial role as a brutal defender in those packs. He suits the boring, defensive style of Wayne Bennett coached sides and has played most of his career under Wayne. If CS is looking to build a good defensive team Nev will be a key player in that. He won't add a lot to your attack.
