I’m really looking forward to seeing him play. Have a good feeling about how he’ll go.

Kudos to the club for being pro active and getting him in.

He can't do much worse than the guy he's replacing!

The Parramatta fans rate him very highly indeed. If he performs well I can't see us keeping him and we will be covered in all the positions he can play. Plus he'll probably want to return home in any case.

I wouldn't rule it out, if he does sign and play hooker, we can use Lovodua at 13, which allows Sao to play in the backrow.

Hats off to Adam Pearson, How he keeps finding the money i don't know, but we're certainly lucky he's willing to throw everything at it. He could quite easily watch the season fizzle out, blame injuries (which i think would be quite justified) and hope for better next year. But he's got the money out again and deserves backing, he can't do any more than he's doing at the moment. Let's get behind him and the team.

I admire his risk taking as well. Making it to the playoffs is worth a bit of cash to the club so he is welling to risk spending money to make it. As fans that's what we want to see, not sensible austerity and cost cutting.

Whats the compassionate grounds all about?

Sounds like he had some family stuff to focus on. Especially with him moving back to Newcastle.
