The point is, if he has a good season as a prop why WOULDN'T we try and keep him, we have all seen some of the so called superstars who come over with big reputations only to turn out bags of $hit. By the end of 2009 he will have had two and a half seasons with us, will know the team and play to its strengths. Yes we could let him go and bring in some top Aussie only to find we have someone who excels in NRL but is useless in SL, lets face it the past few seasons have been littered with them.
